Am I right in thinking that if Hussain did the NZ series.. and then led an old guard to Zimbabwe (all ex-Test players).. he'd make his 100 caps?
I was thinking that the Zim tour team might read something like: Crawley, White, Hick, Hussain, Thorpe, Ramprakash, Hegg / Read, Croft, Caddick, Gough, Bicknell - players mature enough to cope with all the **** that will be flying around.. good enough to put up a good show.. and mostly on their way out of the International scene anyway. |

Gough doesn't want to play Test Cricket any more, as he's concerned about his fitness and injury problems and just wants to focus on ODI's, but I kind of like your thinking on this one.
Another point you don't address, which is for me, the single biggest problem area for England right now - what do you propose to do about the two openers?
