much of the build—up for england has centred on the inclusion of leg—spinner adil rashid.controversial because he's only contracted to play "white ball" cricket for his county side yorkshire this season. his performances in the recent 0ne—day series against india — which england won 2—1 — have prompted his test recall. i haven't played with him but watching of way he goes about his business in the one—day matches in talking about his bowling, he has mature as a cricketer and improved as we last saw him. i think it will be fine. clearly, is going to be nervous because it is a bit of time away from the england team and the circumstances but i genuinely think you will cope. he is a very good bowler. we all know you can take us. it's like playing in maugham by all at chennai, we play a practice game, it was like playing in maugham by port chennai. but he is a quality spinner. we don't want to take anyone lightly. any of those fast bowlers. it will be a challenge and focus on our bowlers. it will be a challenge and focus on our games. nba superstar lebron james made his first p

adil rashid, a leg—spinner, now picked for the marathon of concentration that is a test match, a decision for the traditional county game. here's dick —— england's captains counterpunch. this being a one—off thing, it will get a lot of attention but i see county cricket in a big factor in developing you look at some of the other lads in this team, that had extremely how it dumb —— hard to prove themselves. as england walk—out for their 1000th test several seats will be unoccupied, people will not come to see the show if they do not know when it starts. the key with test cricket is having a regular supply every year, starting on thursday and we keep messing about with wednesday, friday and saturday starts it makes the consumer confused and i think that is what has happened. india are big business at the top ranked test team in the world and the weakest potential tv audience for the game and many think that they have points to prove here in england. india lost over the past test it with a four—year, the scrutiny on the players is intense. captain derek culley is mobbed so often back—ups tha
