Bopara comes into England's ODI squad for injured Bell

[Lord]

good move,hes suited to Indian conditions as he can slog.Bell n Trott rent ODI players for me despite thier good performace in this series. also wheres Shah?he was shaping up as a good ODI player,is he injured?

also wheres Shah?he was shaping up as a good ODI player' date='is he injured?[/quote'] Dropped after the Champions Trophy, hasn't been in the scheme of things since I think

And where did these united nations learn there cricket?

ur missing the whole point here; no one's doubting the quality of the system. It is the inherent talent we're talking that makes a difference. Ur best batsman KP plays for England because of the quota system in SA, his teens were in SA and he was good enough to play in that team. The same applies to others like Trott, he actually represented SA in the under 19 WC. Since ur system is as good as Australia's, how does it compare to the talent in Australia for instance ? And the main topic here is Bopara, not the system in place. I shouldnt have brought it in the first place i guess, after all he's replacing the great Ian Bell of all people.

Dropped after the Champions Trophy' date=' hasn't been in the scheme of things since I think[/quote'] really?he was pretty good in CT.I remember he got 97 against SA.pretty stupid to drop him after that.certainly deserves a chance

Yep that innings against SA was excellent (and took them into the semi-final iirc). Not sure why he was dropped
