World Cup heroes finally selected

< 1 minute readThe England camp has been struck by a few cases of the wild shits this week. This might not seem that interesting in itself, but it has allowed us to answer one important question. Is Luke Wright a batsman, a bowler or simply a blank canvas who doesn’t get injured?
