Well a week a away from the first test against  the West Indies, and a debut for Peter Moores and he is faced with his first little test.  Unbelievably having finally gotten back to fitness and looking like finding his form again, Michael Vaughan is an injury doubt with a broken finger. Stuart Broad also looks like missing the match as does Kevin Pietersen.  Welcome to the Duncan Fletcher’s world Peter!

The latest verdict on Vaughan is at least a little more positive then last week.  He is now “much better” but nevertheless still doubtful.

On the upside Marcus Trescothick has just made his highest ever first class score of 284, although he still won’t be available for Test cricket for a while.  Matthew Hoggard has also found some form today taking 5-34 for Yorkshire against Worcestershire.

I look forward with anticipation to see what changes Moore will introduce.  If nothing else I hope to see a much more energised and concentrated performance than in recent weeks.  Whether or not he can instill the confidence that was so sadly lacking in the World Cup last month is another matter.  I suspect that will take some time.  It will be interesting to see if there is a change in approach come the 3 ODI matches later in the series too.  We can only hope!
