[QUOTE="SelimNiai, post: 333912, member: 37756"] No probably not and, honesltey, if I was Hampshire coach I wouldn't want a player who refuses to play a 2nd XI game because he feels it's beneath him. I'd want players who want to play. As for his England spot here are some contenders for that spot; James Hildreth - Scored 142 for Somerset in the recent win against Notts. James is class, a very technically gifted batsman who plays all the shots. Been Somersets most consistent batsman this season. Ravi Bopara - Has scored buckets of runs this season but mostly in 40 and 20 over cricket and at Test level hasn't done much against top sides. 3 tons against a weak West Indies team isn't enough. Adam Lyth - One for the future definatley. Ozzes class and was (I think) the first man to pass the 1000 run mark for the season. Will be an England player by the time the 2013 Ashes comes along. Michael Carberry - More of an opener like Lyth and didn't really shine when he got his Test chance during the winter but from seeing him a lot down at the Rose Bowl I can tell Carberry isn't finished with England yet.
