And visitors make a quick stop in the United Kingdom en route to Dubai and finally Bangladesh.

If looking good is really a value other than cash games. World Twenty20 takes place in Sri Lanka and the year after the international fixtures in the shorter form are few and far between. It's not just the spin (Well, not all though), when players say the extra games will not be a bad thing. Meanwhile, ticket sales have started well, especially considering the time of year, which suggests the public wants to be a successful team in England, regardless of context.

Neither party, however, has been completed and in the case of the Caribbean "are just a second side of the chain.

Reflector

Jonny Bairstow is a man of the moment after his 21-ball 41 made his debut in Cardiff followed by a glowing assessment, Alastair Cook and Andy Flower. Earlier this week he was named Young Player Team Cricket Writers' of the Year and is a safe place in India next month. It was his calm, when the first ball of his innings that stood out when it came to the crease against India and also speaks of maturity. Increased fighting in the Middle order limited-overs teams slots, but its presence also put pressure on Craig Kieswetter in England as a batsman and store keeper.

Among the many relatively unknown actors in the West Indies team, "Dwayne Smith is a familiar face on the banks after his stay in county cricket. When Smith burst onto the scene with a debut Test century against South Africa at Newlands, an exciting career looked in the store, but as with so many Indian cricketers the West, it was not able to make the most of its natural talent. There is no doubt however that his staff and explosive whippy bowling is ideally suited for Twenty20. This could be his last chance.

Quote

"I feel like a grandfather to some of these boys. I've been around the block a few times more than the boys, but it's nice to have some experience under his belt. "

Being captain, Graeme Swann is not a sad sense of humor

"With all due respect for what Stanford has done in the Caribbean, do not think it can be replaced. The interest generated during the Stanford Twenty20 has been good for us. I know is under investigation and other things, but what happened as a result of their tournaments, I think that is exposed to some players for us. "
