He could be our Nathan bracken

Quite a good comparison. Is there room for both Topley and Willey in the same XI though?

Given that Finn and Wood are both injured, yes. Willey more than deserves his place given his record, even if he's only played 6 ODIs.

The bottom five from this XI was: 07 Ali 08 Woakes 09 Rashid 10 Willey 11 Topley

If Finn and Wood come back, then Topley's place is at risk. I'd hope that England would pick Willey over Woakes for the variety.

All 13 are playing. Bairstow and Buttler have both had the gloves this innings.


Hong Kong fielded 12 players - Eshan Nawaz bowled 3 overs but did not bat.

Denial in sensationalism, both sides could not meet the required funds for the game to be an official ODI due to the fixture being scheduled in short notice.

http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/ ... 38859.html

Maybe if the match was scheduled in advance it would be televised. Not only both sides would be able to pay the required costs, but Hong Kong will receive a nice little earner.

Maybe when England are in the sub-continent or heading to Australia, the limited overs squads can go to Hong Kong en-route to play a one-off ODI or T20i as preparation. Good exposure for the associate nations and a possibly make some money in the process.
