Chris Woakes raring to go
England seamer Chris Woakes has spoken about how keen he is to get back into action after recovering from the injury which cut short his tour of India earlier this year.
Before the One Day International series began, those looking at in play betting note how Woakes suffered a muscle tear and ended up flying home before being able to make an impact in England colours.
He is now fit and fresh again though and ready for 2012 to be a big year for him. He may well have been left out of the most recent England test squad, but he is ambitious and wants to get back involved as soon as possible.
Referring to his injury and the next step for him as a player…

Indian bowling player ratings v England
Praveen Kumar – 8 – Paid the price for a heavy workload by missing the fourth Test, a sign of how much India over-relied on the only man to trouble England’s batsmen. 15 wickets at 29.53 was an excellent return and a firm rebuttal to those who believe – Duncan Fletcher? – that he lacks the pace to prosper as a Test bowler. Online Betting sites might start to take more notice of him now.
Ishant Sharma – 5 – A mixed bag, veering from unplayable pace and hostility in spells at Lord’s and Trent Bridge to half-pitched filth at Edgbaston. He did not kick-on from success in the Caribbean, but will be persevered with.
Sreesanth – 2 – Many England fans wonder what the fuss is…

Lions triumph in Northampton
A champion performance from Leicestershire’s James Taylor has handed the England Lions victory in their third tour match against Sir Lanka A, today. The result is especially important for the Lions, given that the side were trounced in their previous match with Sri Lanka A, at the weekend, losing by a 10-wicket margin.
The Lions began the one-day international series with a huge win over the visitors, at the end of last week. The youngster, Taylor, scored his first century as England captain in the game, from just under 120 balls. The Lions eventually put 310 up the Sri Lankans, with Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow contributing a half-ton each.
However, overconfidence, complacency, or just plain bad luck saw the Lions sink to a humiliating defeat in the…

Onions drafted in as cover for 4th test
Durham seamer Graham Onions has been called up to the England squad for the 4th test against India after Chris Tremlett was ruled out of the game having failed to recover from a back injury and Jimmy Anderson was diagnosed with a minor thigh strain.
Tremlett has been unable to take part in either of the last two test matches as England claimed a series win as well as the number one spot in the test rankings following victory at Edgbaston that moved the home side into an unassailable 3-0 series lead.
Anderson meanwhile complained of tightness in his thigh during the 3rd test at Edgbaston and is considered a doubt for the game at the Oval, although the injury will be monitored over the coming days…

Sussex crush the Royals
Sussex Sharks have flattened their opponents, the Worcestershire Royals, in Group A of the Clydesdale Bank 40 (CB40).
The match, which was played at Horsham in Sussex on Sunday, saw the home side score 399 runs, the highest tally ever recorded in domestic limited overs cricket. Anyone following the Betfair Cricket betting would have been very impressed. The Sharks beat the previous record – 386 for 3, held by Surrey since 2010 – by 13 runs. The result could be seen as ‘revenge’ for Sussex; Worcestershire defeated the club in the league on Saturday.
Sussex can thank batting duo, Ed Joyce and Joe Gatting, the nephew of Mike Gatting, for the incredible result. Joyce claimed 10 fours and 5 sixes for the Sharks, for a total of…

England announce Cook and Broad as new captains
England have announced two new captains with Andrew Strauss making way for Alastair Cook to become one-day international skipper and Stuart Broad leading the Twenty20 team at the expense of Paul Collingwood.
England have decided to adopt a three-way captaincy which is something that has never happened in international cricket before and starts a new exciting era as all three teams look to become number one in the world.
Strauss, who has played 125 one-day internationals, decided to step down as 50-over leader to concentrate on Test match duties with Cook leading the limited overs England side into a new era.
Cook has always been the sports betting favourite to replace the Middlesex opener as Test match captain but the ODI leadership comes as a surprise…

England weigh up Yardy call
The lack of options available to Andrew Strauss as the Dutch batsmen ran riot earlier this week were obvious. Only Stuart Broad managed to cause any problems with pace and Graeme Swann could have done with more support in the spinning department.
Kevin Pietersen was forced to turn his arm over but Holland made light work of the part-time spinner. Despite having Ravi Bopara in the side, Strauss chose not to hand the ball to the Essex all-rounder, a decision maybe regretted by the skipper after the match.
Michael Yardy may have been sat in the pavilion wondering why he wasn’t given a start in a tournament where spin is expected to play such a major role. The left-armer has spent much of the summer carrying the drinks…
