Burbling for England?!
And on a lighter note than the whims of the England selectors...
One of my industrious team of ghost writers suggested the following burble topic to me on the cricket pitch recently:
Imagine (and this requires a certain suspension of disbelief!) that, from today onwards, you take a wicket with every single ball you ever bowl in a cricket match. Not that you've suddenly learnt the art of 90mph bowling or ripping leg-breaks, and your success doesn't follow you into nets and trials, but you are invincible as soon as you step onto the field of play.
In this crazy Burble fantasyland, how long will it be until you are playing for England?!

what a burble! One 1st class match would be my guess!
I think you won't get picked at all. Think about the lost revenue in not having fulfilled 5 days of Test cricket by bowling out teams too quickly!
I suspect the main hurdle would be getting into the county game, as they wouldn't have any video of your match performances, and seeing you unable to perform when they invite you in for a trial might cause a problem. From there, easier to get in the England team you'd think, given that you'd have plenty of televised performances, and the press on your side.
Or am I taking this too seriously?
