Tell that to the selectors. The squad they have at the moment has, for the most part, the backbone of a trifle. And not a proper trifle either: I'm talking about one of those false 'Tip-Top' and mixed fruit combinations covered in e-number filled hundreds and thousands. Not saying Ramps would improve the situation. But he'd make a prettier duck than Bopara, Bell or Collingwood. “Maybe Ramprakash will play, but a batsman whose sole yet hugely debilitating weakness is a susceptibility to the pressure associated with Test cricket might not be the best choice for a Test that will decide a home Ashes series.”

Not because he'll win us the Ashes, more because it'll be like going to watch the mental hospital like they did in the Victorian days and i'm nostalgic for 1846. He's mad, completely mad, and has an imaginary friend called Jerry. That isn't a joke, he does have an imaginary friend called Jerry. Surrey are a bit scared of both Ramps and Jerry. I think he should play.
