I think we've all been saying the same thing for the last month
I confess, I'm quite hopeful for the close season... if that doesn't sound too daft

However Franklin's reference to behind the scenes strengthening in the context of the playing side can only mean playing or coaching recruitment .
Good news for Woody and all other aspiring England bowlers is that, according to the Mail, Shine is being dispensed with.
