So with a new-style line-up, we are in danger of winning one?!
If ever there was a stone banker bet it was a 3-0 whitewash. Bookies must be laughing!

Afghanistan recently played, and won, their debut Test, against Ireland.
Ireland batted first and promptly collapsed to 85/9, but a cracking last wicket partnership between Dockrell and Murtagh took them to 172 all out, Murtagh making his debut half century. Murtagh is the second-oldest No. 11 to score a Test fifty, beaten by Pat Symcox by a couple of months. Like their football team, the Irish never know when they're beaten!
Alas, it wasn't enough, as Afghanistan won by seven wickets, but it's nice to see some fight and I doubt Ireland will be pushovers come the summer.

England's 15 man World Cup squad announced.
In:
Jofra Archer
Liam Dawson
James Vince
Tom Curran
Liam Plunkett
Out:
Alex Hales (for obvious reasons)
David Willey
Joe Denly
Of those three, Willey can probably feel hard done by as he was still taking wickets for England.
Eoin Morgan (capt, Middlesex), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Jofra Archer (Sussex), Jonny Bairstow (wk, Yorkshire), Jos Buttler (wk, Lancashire), Tom Curran (Surrey), Liam Dawson (Hampshire), Liam Plunkett (Surrey), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Jason Roy (Surrey), Ben Stokes (Durham), James Vince (Hampshire), Chris Woakes (Warwickshire), Mark Wood (Durham).
