My word, what a desperately poor international player Ravi Bopara is. I'd be disgusted if I were Johnny Bairstow, or any other half decent batsmen in England that this muppet continues to get picked....
Bopara gets picked 'cause he can 'bowl a bit'. He only bowled 3 overs today. Unfortunately England don't have a decent all-rounder so they think they need Bopara in case 1 of the 5 breaks down. Sussex are a much more balanced side than England, we often have 7 bowlers to choose from (even without Styris). Nash is worth his weight in gold, he's currently 3rd on the county MVP list, no idea why he's not in England's plans.
