Hard to judge how good a total that might be without seeing the pitch.

Some nice hitting down the order by Luke Wright.

I've not seen that much of him in 4 day cricket Andy, is he a possible Test player or strictly a one day man.

Not convinced his bowling is up to Test standard to be honest, good variation for the one-day game but not really up to being a 4th seamer at Test level.

First class average of 35 with the bat is respectable if you wanted to bat him at 7 or 8, but I'd say he's a long way behind Stuart Broad for that job at the minute.

Pretty much as I thought then, useful one day man. Anyway we managed to sueeze a tight victory!
