Replacing Collingwood with Shah, Key or Prior is possible, but Bopara could have the advantage as he is a good fielder and a part-time bowler - taking away our best fielder and replacing him with some pretty poor ones could be a problem. <BR/><BR/>I wonder if they'll spring a surprise and revert to Prior instead of Ambrose who had a bit of a shocking series so far.....while no-one is really making an issue of it for now, when South Africa arrive and we really need all the chances taken, no byes and some runs, he could get a lot of stick unless he improves.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06755797969506651900noreply@blogger.com
