You could count Swann but he wasn't excluded for cricketing reasons alone.  |
Thinking about it both Bell and Anderson could qualify.
In some ways I feel sorry for Bopara, he was on a hiding to nothing today and he looked very nervous. Sadly he is unlikely to get a second innings and get replaced by Trott for the next match.
Morgan, who has more or less taken Bopara's place could have been out for very little, being dropped off dolly catches twice in this match before he reached 50.
