Take it and you win the Ashes. Which of your team-mates do you want to see under it? Jonny Bairstow or Jos Buttler. Theyve got gloves on! It should be impossible to drop it with those things on.Whose wicket are you the most proud of? I have managed to get Brendon McCullum out like five times.

Ill have to go with Adil Rashid.Which of your team-mates look like they get dressed in the dark?Alex Hales. Nothing he wears ever goes. For some strange reason he always seems to be representing England and Notts. He will wear jeans and an England top. Or a hoodie and some England shorts. He may have a nice shirt on, then wear some training tracksuit bottoms with it. Can I pick another?Go for it... Well theres two, actually. Jason Roy, because hes built like a farmer.

Stokesey - for obvious reasons. Who has the strongest throwing arm? Stokesey again - or Plunkett. Their throws never seem to go up, theyre always so flat. I hate backing up when Stokesey is throwing. Even if the batsman is a yard out his crease Ill be shouting: Hold it!Whats the best thing about playing cricket for a living? Being in a dressing room, the team atmosphere. Youre hanging out every day with your best mates, having a laugh.And the worst? When you have to start in March or April, its really cold and youre not allowed to wear a woolly hat.Who has the worst banter in the England dressing room? Adam Lyth used to get shot down a lot. He had poor chat and rated himself on the football field. He was a good player - dont get me wrong - but he used to get a bit of stick.Give us one name to look out for who is destined for a bright future in cricket. Tom Helm.
