Payne admits batting first is the way to go at Edgbaston
He also fears the drop
England's Lee Payne says that batting first is the way to win test matches at Edgbaston. "I enjoy putting the batsman under pressure when they are chasing." he said. "I feel I can take a wicket every ball when the cherry is new."
Payne admits that he fears he could be dropped from the second test squad after only picking up two first innings wickets on the slope at Lord's. "Two wickets could be seen as a gritty, determined performance but in a team of such quality it's not."

Newley retired spin bowler Simon Barrow has had a very difficult week, but at the end of it, has come a very wierd U-turn by the allrounder.
In an interview to CricNew's Barrow said,
"Ive decided to make myself available for the tests, as i have been bowling well for Somerset in the 4 day game, and i feel really good. The main reason i want to come back after a few months absense is the fact that there isnt the same attitude to County Championships as there is to Tests. I love joining up with the guys and ive been down to all the training sessions watch, and the thing id really love is to get a recall. I had a quick word with Matt and he made it clear that if i feel good and im taking wickets and making runs, that there is always the chance of a recall for myself!"
Well this surely is a wierd week, and now its up to the England management team to see if they can have a gamble on Barrow, he has done teriffically well in County Championship games, can he transfer it to the extra day game?
Find out here on CricNews, Im Geraint Jones and i will be presenting CricNews from now on, Join us on Tuesday morning for a roundup for squads and the toss for the second test against Sri Lanka.
Good Night.

Davie Is Still Favourite
In the wake of the recent announcement of un-retirement from England spinner Simon Barrow, Matthew Roberts says that the news doesn't change his plans. He says that Drew Davie, who impressed with the ball at Lords, is still his number 1 spinner and Barrow needs to prove that he isn't washed up.
"I was impressed with Drew's performance at Lords, he showed that he can turn the ball and that he is capabable of bamboozling batsmen." said Roberts
"I don't care what Simon has achieved in the past, he has to work for his place in my side, and at the moment, he is below Davie in the pecking order"

CricNews is busy tonight. After the new England coaches shrug off of Simon Barrow, A statement has been released by Simon Barrows agent saying,
"In the recent comment made by Matt Roberts, Mr Barrow would like to stress that he believes that the comment made about him were very un-characteristic of the England coach. Mr.Barrow also says that the comment about proving he isnt a "washed-up" player, he will prove wrong and he says that it is his dream to return to the side before the Ashes."
Simon Barrow has also made comments about current frontline spinner Drew Davie saying that even though he is a world class spinner and has found his feet well, Barrow reminds him that he will be watched carefully, and in time Barrow says that Davie will be shown that Experience will always win against rare talent. Barrow looks to get back to full fitness and become Englands turn to man again, but until then, we look forward to the new Test series!

Make your mind up

"The team that won the first test should be in the second test." he said.
"You can't have someone retiring then coming back in to soak up glory when the team is doing well."

International Coach
FreddieFan supports Davie Place
Much contoversy has surrounded the reversal of Simon Barrow's decision to retire from Test Cricket. FreddieFan spoke to our reporter earlier today on the subject.
Asked about whether it was right that he should be able to change his mind, Fan responded "Simon is human and makes mistakes like the rest of us. He made the wrong choice and has corrected his mistake. I see no reason why he shouldn't be part of the England set-up in the future."
"However" FreddieFan continued, "his replacement, Drew Davie, has come in and done well. He is well liked and respected in the dressing room and has a big future on the international stage. Davie should remain as fist choice spinner, and it's up to Simon to force his way back into the team as any other player would do. He can't expect the selectors to drop a promising youngster in circumstances like these."

Davies respects coach
Nic Davies has released a statement saying that he "respects" coach Matthew Roberts and will respect whatever decision he makes.
"He is a fantastic coach who is proving wonders with the England team. He is a great coach to work with and is teaching me new tricks with bat and ball." He went on to say "I respect his decision to put Drew Davie as the first team test spinner. Drew is a class player who I am privileged to work with."
When asked of the Simon Barrow situation, he just shrugged his shoulders and said "It's up to him what he wants to do with his career. I will respect any decision the coach puts into place." The 18 year old then went back to working extremely hard in the nets, smashing a Simon Barrow googly out of the nets.

I Call the Shots
England coach Matthew Roberts has made a statement in order to calm the flames lit by the un-retirement of Simon Barrow:
"The players need to remember who's the boss around here and that's me. I don't mean to be big-headed but i'm payed to pick the team, and that is what i'll do. I have the team who will play in the second test written down in my head, so I advise my players to concentrate on their game and not anyone elses."
