Yet another South African, Stuart Meaker, gets called up for the England ODI side based on his taking 44 County Championship wickets. Gidman takes over 50 wickets, to go with over 1,000 runs, and doesn't make the side. Is this yet another case of the selectors failing to find their way down the M4?
Rejoice that Gidders (Jnr) will be playing for Gloucs and not England. Did our run of one-day glory not coincide with Jack playing for us and not England, even though he was clearly the best man for the job?
