Gough believes that their is some favoutism afoot in terms of choosing the one-day team. Do you agree?

Certainly the one of the most talkative ex-captains Yorkshire have ever had. I can't think of anyone in the post-war period that could up with our Darren. Is there cricketing subject he is not a self-styled expert on?

I agree. Matt Prior has no right to be in the team. Mustard and Read can both keep and bat better than Prior, but then they aren't chums of Moores.

i would love to see Gough v Boycott in a debate about the England one day batting order - Gough wants Bopara at 3 and Boycs wants Flintoff opening, KP at 3 and Colly at 4

Unlike the Yorkshire top order where we are struggling to find an opening pair, the England team would appear to be flush (but a busted one?) with options but its just that not many of them are very good options at the moment.

Looking at scoreboard whats the Indian for 'deja vu'?

I see no other reason for Luke Wright being in the team, other than favouritism.

Can i be the first to suggest that Michael vaughan would make a brilliant England captain for the Ashes next year....

That would be one way to stop Mr Vaughan failing as a Yorkshire opener Steve

From CRicinfo's "The Spin"

"We have favouritism in selection," Gough explained - before England
lost yesterday at Indore. "England have got potential but we seem to
ignore players who, for me, are definite starters in one-day cricket.
We won the Hong Kong Sixes with Graham Napier, Dimitri Mascarenhas,
Tim Bresnan, Len Hutton and Wilfred Rhodes. They deserve a chance."
(Two of those names have been inserted for the sake of a very cheap
gag, but the Spin felt Napier and Bresnan deserved a mention.)

Dr Gough's diagnosis was not over. "England lack something in one-day
cricket I can't quite put my finger on," he said, just about
resisting the temptation to put his finger on his own chest. "Our
one-day thinking has for years been behind the eight-ball. I played
in two World Cups and we never looked like winning - we did well to
win a game to be honest."

As cricketers from the United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands, Kenya
and Zimbabwe nodded in sad agreement at thrashings past, Gough may or
may not have outlined a remedy in which the batting would be opened
by Herbert Sutcliffe and the bits-and-pieces role played by George
Hirst. "We still don't know our best batting order," he blustered.
"Matt Prior's batting at the top of the order but has had a few
failures now and his confidence might start to go. Luke Wright is a
good player for the future, but is he good enough to be in the
starting XI?" Aye, they don't make 'em like they used to.
