Blimey, that's cheered me up no end.

Good luck to Andy Flower in his new role.

a major blow for Essex - Was solid and very reliable and leaves a bit of a gaping hole in the top order. Pretty much ends any hope of doing well in the Championship this season

Not entirely unexpected. He's been a great servant to Essex over the period he's been here. Essex's batting certainly looks less solid without him, but with him struggling with his hip injury, we may have been without him for most of the season regardless.

Lets hope he can be as much of a success for England, as he was for Essex.

How often in recent years have Essex players been involved in England set ups?! Gooch, Fletcher, Hussain and now Flower

*slaps head in mild disbelief*

That'll have the opening batsmen at Taunton quaking in their boots...
