GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- When you're donating blood you might not give much thought to what happens after you're done, but that pint of blood has 24 hours worth of testing and processing before it can be used.
The five tubes they take when you first start your donation end up in the lab at Michigan Blood along with your donation. The Medical Director for MI Blood, Dr. LeeAnn Weitekamp says those tubes are tested for a number of viruses.
"We'll test for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV 1 & 2, HTLV 1 & 2, syphilis, CMV. MI Blood has an extremely low infectious disease marker rate. A tenth of a percent that actually has anything in them at all," says Weitekamp.
While your blood is being tested and your donated pint is being spun down, Weitekamp says that's how they separate out the three blood products that can be used. "The red cells contain iron, they're heavy, they go to the bottom, white cells layer on top of that and the delicate little platelets are on top of that plasma is on top of that."
White cells are discarded. They contain enzymes from viruses your body has fought off which can't be passed on to someone in need of blood.
Plasma is frozen, your platelets are pooled with other matching donors and your red blood cells are refrigerated. Then they're stored until the infectious disease testing is completed.
Once it's given the all clear, it's packed up and transported to local hospitals. "We know that our blood is local, all of the hospitals in Kent County use MI Blood so we know the blood that's donated stays local," says Amna Seibold, the director of pathology at Mercy Health's Saint Mary's Hospital. "We get our blood here we process it. We make sure that the blood is correctly matched to the patient and then the blood goes out."
There are a variety of ways your blood is transported throughout the hospital. A chute for hospital rooms, a lift for surgery. "For extreme emergencies we will be running blood through the hallways to the emergency room." says Seibold.
There's no telling who will get your blood but there's one thing you can know for sure, it is being used to save a life.
If you're thinking about becoming a blood donor you're in luck. Michigan Blood is holding a blood drive all this week. You can stop in at any of their locations and as a thank you for donating you'll receive a free Love Michigan tee shirt.

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Women's Lacrosse team had things well in hand in their Midwest Women's Lacrosse Conference game against Mt. St. Joseph College on Saturday at Strong Stadium until the Lions put together a comeback in the final nine minutes to shock the Bucs 8-7.
MSJ scored the first two goals of the game in the opening three minutes until Sara Fithian got Beloit on the board at 26:50. The Lions added two more goals to move up 4-1 before the Buccaneers started a streak of six unanswered scores that spanned halftime. Sarah Pipal started the run at 5:39 of the first half, assisted by Cate Rubin, and was followed by Fithian's second goal of the game at 3:24 to make it 4-3, Mt. St. Joseph, at the half.
The Bucs continued their run as the second half started when Caitlin Paterson, assisted by Ellie Daniels, scored at 27:57 to tie the game at 4-all. Fithian put Beloit up a goal at 26:04 on a free position score and Erin Chambers tallied with another free position goal at 14:54 to make it 6-4. Daniels ended the run and gave the Buccaneers a three-goal lead when she scored on the man advantage, assisted by Fithian, at 12:24.
But the Lions weren't done, scoring four unanswered from the 9:22 mark to the game-winner with 5:49 left to secure the win.
The Buccaneers step away from MWLC play on Wednesday when they host the University of Dubuque at 6:00 p.m. at Strong Stadium.

So you are not using DHCP at all for the clients on wireless?
Are you using zones in your DNS config that may be causing the Vista wireless clients on network X to receive a different reply from those on the fully wired network Y?
I'm having some trouble with my home network, and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the causes, and hopefully, solutions, as I'm not clear on how DNS is actually supposed to work, so I'm not sure if I'm doing it right anyway...
I have a dual-homed Linux server running my home network. It does DHCP, NAT, DNS, and other goodies. ETH1 connects to my wireless router, running on it's own subnet. Basically, I run the network my wifi and router on as a DMZ of sorts, so it's all firewalled off from my wired network.
It's the router that seems to be the cause, but only my vista client seems to have an issue.
Because of this, when a wireless client connects, it really needs to use my DNS server to resolve my internal hostnames, as them trying to use the public IP breaks things due to the routing. Annoyingly, the router won't let me specify the DNS servers for the DHCP server it uses, forcing it's own address for the DNS, and proxying it off to those specified.
Problem is, when vista makes a request, it goes off, and my DNS server sees it, and replies. The vista machine gets the reply, but always times out. All of the traffic side of things is monitored using wireshark.
Is vista ignoring the reply because it's come from another host? How can I fix this?
Is this how DNS is supposed to work, or is my router in need of a bugfix?
So you are not using DHCP at all for the clients on wireless?
Are you using zones in your DNS config that may be causing the Vista wireless clients on network X to receive a different reply from those on the fully wired network Y?
The wireless router has a DHCP server running on it, which thusly handles the DMZ.
I'm not using any zones as such that I'm aware of...I have my DNS defined in a LDAP tree and pulled out using PowerDNS's LDAP backend.
Essentially, from the internal LAN and DMZ "mail.jamie-thompson.co.uk" is on 192.168.69.100. However, the public DNS points at my external IP instead. When the router is set to use my ISP's DNS servers, DMZ clients can access the internet fine, but as the internal hostnames resolve to the external IP on it's WAN interface, it can't route traffic to the correct host.
If I set the router to use my internal DNS server, then my DNS seems to work fine, but not from the Vista client. It is receiving the response, but it is ignoring it.
Setting the DNS server statically on the Vista client to my internal DNS server makes it work...but means that my DHCP won't just work for visiting Vista laptops etc.
Thinking about it...I suppose I could try disabling the built-in DHCP server and running a second instance on my server on the external interface....something to try!
With BIND zones you can tailor the DNS response of your authoritative DNS server for your amie-thompson.co.uk domain based on the source IP address of the client. So your home net's machines would get 192.168.x.x addresses but the net would get addresses equivalent to the external IP address(es) of your router. Even if you dual home a server you'll have the same problem, the DNS response comes from the BIND process, and is independent of the IP addresses assigned to the server.
I see - you're suggesting split horizon DNS...unfortunately, my external DNS is external on hosted DNS servers.
The crux of what I'm asking here is why is Vista ignoring the replies?
If it works when you have the router point to the internal DNS server, then you need to set up the DNS server to be authoritative for the amie-thompson.co.uk domain and as a caching DNS server for everything else. That way the DNS server will automatically query DNS servers on the web on behalf of the clients on your network whenever they request a lookup for a domain other than amie-thompson.co.uk.
Ok, here's more details...
I have PowerDNS running on the server, bound to the loopback interface, and authoritative for my domain(s), and dnscache bound to the internal interface, and configured as a recursive non-authoritative name server, pointing at the loopback for my domains, and some opendns servers for everything else.
The problem is that the Vista PC won't accept DNS replies from dnscache, yet seemingly, will accept them from my isp's nameservers.

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. -- Election Day is next Tuesday. Tuesday night, October 30th, two candidates for the 26th District Congressional Seat debated in Niagara Falls.
Incumbent Brian Higgins (D-Buffalo) and challenger Mike Madigan are campaigning to represent the Falls, Downtown Buffalo, and its immediate northtowns. We asked both men how they feel about the development that's happening along the Buffalo Waterfront, specifically at Canalside.
MADIGAN: "My priority will be very different. It will be creating full time permanent jobs in the heart of the district, not part time summer jobs out on the waterway."
HIGGINS: "Four years ago there were no visitors and no events, so next year we'll have over 600 events, and we're continuing to just make major progress toward the redevelopment of Buffalo, its Waterfront and the downtown area."

"HIGH ENERGY COSTS DRIVE GERMAN FIRMS TO US." That is the headline for an article that appeared May 22 in Duetsche Welle, or DW, Germany's international broadcasting giant.
"Soaring German energy costs in the wake of the country's transition to renewable energy have seen more and more firms thinking about relocating their operations," the DW story reported. "The US looks like a sound alternative, associations claim."
The DW story continued:
German industry lobby associations on Wednesday sent a warning shot towards the government in Berlin, saying that rising energy costs in the country would drive away more and more German companies.
"If we don't get on top of the country's energy transition to renewables and are not able to rein in energy costs in the process, German industry's competitiveness stands to suffer," the chief of the Federation of German Industry (BDI), Ulrich Grillo, told the business newspaper "Handelsblatt."
He said that while Germans are embroiled in a debate about the right energy mix, the US was getting more and more attractive as a business location for German firms, thanks not least to President Barack Obama's support for the fracking technology resulting in much cheaper energy prices.
President Obama has pleasantly surprised many — and angered many of his allies in the Big Green lobby, i.e., the Sierra Club, the Environmental Defense Fund, et al — by his recent common-sense actions to allow hydraulic fracturing on federal public lands and approval of a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal in Freeport, Texas. However, based on the administration's history of antipathy to all fossil fuels, its use of the EPA to quash energy production, and its commitment to vastly expanding our nation's reliance on renewable energy, the recent natural gas concessions could prove to be a temporary political move. If that proves to be the case, the German companies that are moving to America to escape Merkel's unsustainable "renewable revolution" could find themselves facing the same predicament down the road here.

Most women wear moisturizers and foundations of some sort year round. But at this time of year, when skin tends to be pale and dry, it can be challenging to find the perfect combination.
There are many options to achieving a radiant, glowing, natural complexion and still get the hydration your skin needs. Let's face it, dry skin does not look young and healthy. A balance of moisturizer plus color is just the ticket.
One option is to use a tinted moisturizer. This is the perfect all-in-one solution for the minimalist or those who prefer lighter coverage. Tinted Moisturizer - Transparent offers light, natural coverage with a boost of hydration and can even be layered over your usual moisturizer for extra dry skin.
If your moisturizer/makeup regimen is still leaving skin feeling taut, try this trick. Mix your usual moisturizer with a small amount of tinted moisturizer, blend in your hand and apply to skin. This should keep skin soft and supple while providing light coverage.
Bronzers are another fool proof way to even out the complexion while providing hydration and protection to skin. HYDRO Bronzer takes it one step further, supplying skin with anti-aging benefits while reducing the appearance of fine lines. As easy as applying moisturizer, HYDRO Bronzer comes in two natural tones: Cool Beige for fair complexions and Soft Bronze for medium complexions.
For those who prefer a makeup fluid to a tinted moisturizer, Lavera offers two tones and two coverage options. Looking for light coverage to even out skin tone and hide imperfections? Choose Make Up Fluid Light in either fair (for lighter skin tones) or medium (for medium to olive skin tones). Prefer more concentrated? Make Up Fluid Naturel is the one for you and also comes in fair and medium tones.
It may be cold and cloudy, but sunscreen is always important. Two LAVERE day creams, SOLUTION Day SPF5 and INTENSIVE Day SPF5, offer UV protection and provide a great canvas for make up.
And don't forget the FACES Summer Glow - its a 2-in-1 moisturizer and streak-free gradual tanner. Over the course of three days, it will impart a nice "summer glow" to your complexion and smell great doing it.
Don't be afraid to experiment with moisturizer and foundation and switch it up in dry months to suit your skin's needs. Whether you desire light coverage or hydrating color, Lavera has you covered.

Velocity is long gone.
And now a local businesswoman hopes to replace the now-defunct soft-play gym and laser tag business in Empsall Plaza with a similar venture.
Vina Bonner, a mother of four and retiring Fort Drum military soldier, said that Velocitys closing created a void for kids, so she plans to open Fun Xcape in another section of Empsall Plaza.
It would be located in the mostly vacant back section of the Empsall Plaza building she purchased in January from a Florida-based lending company, Bayview Loan Servicing LLC, for $132,000.
Facing the J.B. Wise parking lot, that section of the building would undergo $624,000 in renovations, which would include a soft and play gym for children, video game arcade, food court and climbing wall. It would cater to younger children in one zone and to kids ages 6 to 13 in another section, she said.
Kids have nothing to do, said Mrs. Bonner, who has a 3-year-old, 9-year-old and two adult children. She said the venture is her passion.
This is something we need, she said.
On Monday morning, the Watertown Local Development Corp.s loan review committee unanimously agreed to give her a $150,000 loan to help finance the project.
The full board of the WLDC, also known as the Watertown Trust, needs to approve the seven-year loan, at 5 percent interest. It would be contingent on her getting a Small Business Administration loan from a bank, loan review committee members said.
Featuring a jungle theme and colorful play stations, the gym would be safe for kids of all ages because it features soft plastic parts, Mrs. Bonner said. Initially, four employees would work there and it would be open year-round. She would charge $4.95 per child.
She plans to gut the building and remove the second-floor, so parents can watch their children play. She has hired GYMO Architecture, Engineering & Land Surveying PC to design the project. It also would feature three birthday party rooms.
WLDC loan committee members like the proposal, in part because she paid for the building in cash and income is being generated from the five tenants that lease space there.
Members also were impressed with Mrs. Bonners credentials, which include work as former administrator of Guthrie Ambulatory Health Care Clinic at Fort Drum, possessing a masters degree in business and teaching cadets at West Point.
Donald W. Rutherford, CEO of the Watertown Trust, said the business should attract people to the citys business district. It would fit in with other projects going on downtown, he said.
We need something to give life to downtown, he said.
The business would have to overcome a stigma and negative publicity from Velocitys closing in July, but Mr. Rutherford said the once popular childrens play business had become dingy and dirty over the years and people stopped going. Mrs. Bonner also stressed the business would not hold concerts for local bands, as was the case with the Dungeon, a music venue housed in the buildings basement.
Neighbors of Watertown has plans for another section of the former Frank A. Empsall Co. Department Store. Considered a separate property, Neighbors in December purchased some 30,000 square feet of space, in what is most recently occupied by Velocity from its previous owner, Psychedelic Entertainment LLC, Englewood, Calif., for $130,000.
Neighbors plans to convert that space into commercial space, Mr. Rutherford said. The floor above the Velocity space will be converted into 13 or 14 apartments as part of the Brighton.
In 1992, the agency completed renovation of the former Brighton Hotel, which was developed into a 36-apartment subsidized complex.
In related business, committee members also agreed to give Mrs. Bonners husband, Mark, an $80,000 loan to help finance opening State Street Wine and Liquors at 804 State St., a former gas station that most recently housed a car detailing business.
The full board is expected to approve that loan on Thursday.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of iBulb for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
I don't know about you friends, but I am SO ready for Spring! Unfortunately, it'll be another month or so before things start warming up around here, but that doesn't mean I can't have some Spring in my home, right? The flowers in my garden may not be blooming yet, but I can still have some indoors to make things cheerful here in the Artsy House! Here's a fun project Little Crafter and I did to help hurry Spring along, and you can do it too!
– terracotta pot
– acrylic paint, various colors
– Mod Podge
– paint brush
– potted bulbs
STEP 1: Paint entire pot with a base coat of whatever color you want. We chose white so it would be nice and neutral, especially since we wanted to use some springy pastels as our drip colors.
STEP 2: Turn pot upside down and squeeze paint onto the bottom, letting it run down the sides. This was LC's favorite part! Let it dry completely.
STEP 3: Apply a coat of Mod Podge over the entire pot to seal the paint and make it water resistant. Let dry.
When dry, flip your pot right side up. Make sure you've painted down into the pot about 1/4 of the way so that you don't see the original pot color above the soil line.
STEP 4: Transfer your potted bulbs to the finished pot. We got ours from the local grocery store. You can also find them at garden centers and flower shops.
A word to the wise…do your repotting outside. Even if it's only 36 degrees. Because if you try doing it on your dining room table, you'll just end up making a big fat mess. Ask me how I know. Anyway, aren't they gorgeous and cheerful?
They just make me smile when it's gray and cold outside. I'm loving it. And of course, LC wants to show off his handiwork to everyone who comes over!
This project would also make a great Easter or even Mother's Day gift; the flowers are a gift that keeps on giving, and the hand-decorated pot, especially if it's made by a Little Crafter, will be something to treasure!
There are lots of other fun and springy ways to display potted bulbs in your home too; I love this idea I saw on Pinterest where they put tulips in a clear vase with candies…how cute would this be with jelly beans for an Easter centerpiece?!
What about you? Do you have flowers in your home to add some cheer? What's your favorite way to pot them?
Hugs & Glitter,

This is SO cool, pinning it for later
Super fun project, Amy!
So stinkin cute!! Love how colorful and kid-friendly this project is! And tulips are my favorite flower so that's an added bonus.
Great ideas!
Clever. We long for spring right now, so this would be a great project for our home. Kid friendly usable crafts are our favorite, especially ones like this that will be treasured gifts for those we love.
Amy, these would be the best Mother's Day presents for the boys to give to their grandmothers, or my parents' anniversary next month. I love this project! I'm pinning it for later!
This has me itching for spring! Love the clors you chose for the pot. It's perfect!
You and LC did a great job and are making me want spring! As a huge fan of winter, that's really hard to do!
This is a great project Amy! I love the idea of using this idea for Mother's Day or my parents' anniversary next month, and having the boys (or rather my big boy) do this for gifts! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
Love the colorful simplicity of the flower pot. You've also got me in the mood to start making these for Mother's Day. Got get my bulbs now.
Super cute and easy project! :)))
What a sweet gift!!
Those are so cute! Your Little Crafter is very talented with the paint drips! I think I will try that one with my little munchkins.
What a fun idea. I am going to pass this along to the Master Gardener who coordinates our volunteering with kids facing developmental challenges. This would be a fun Mother's Day gift project, I think. Thanks for sharing.
Those are so cute! Your Little Crafter is very talented with the paint drips! I think I will try this one with my little munchkins! Thanks for the inspiration
Amy, I love this idea and am going to send your link to the lady who coordinates our master gardening volunteering with children. I think this would be a great project to do with the kids for Mother's Day. Thanks for sharing it.
LOVE this Amy!! I'm totally thinking about doing this for my mom and mil for mothers day now!! Such a cute idea and I know my little crafters would have fun with it too! Thanks for sharing!
Still a great project!
I just love the bright cheery colors. It is fun that you dripped the paint down from the bottom rather than starting at the top like you would expect. It adds an unexpected element in that the drips are going up.
Very cool! I love tulips they are one of the best things about spring to me! And the planter is adorable.
This is so adorable! Great gift idea! Thanks for sharing this at my Pin Me Linky Party.
Cute idea !! I posted to my blog helens-corner.blogspot.com
I saw this when you first posted, and kept thinking about it. Finally, I broke down and bought some pots for me girls to try it. Even my four year old could do this. I know they're going to love it!
This project ROCKS, Amy! So springy. Thanks for sharing at March Madness

Andy Flower says England must improve for two Ashes series
Coach Andy Flower says England need to improve to beat Australia in back-to-back Ashes series this year.
His team narrowly avoided defeat against New Zealand, holding on to draw the decisive third Test in Auckland.
"We've got a big year of international cricket and we will need to be sharper, better and more skilful," said Flower.
"But it has been a wonderful winter and to win in India was a really special moment. The only series we have lost was the one-day series in India."
Each of the three Tests against New Zealand was drawn, but England won two and drew one of the four Tests in India at the end of 2012, the first time they had won a series there since 1985.
England's "wonderful winter"
New Zealand
New Zealand
New Zealand
England's score listed first
They face a busy year with two home Tests against New Zealand followed by the one-day Champions Trophy tournament and a five-Test series against Australia, before travelling down under in the winter.
England, ranked the second best Test side in the world, faced suggestions they were complacent for their matches against New Zealand, although Flower insisted they had not taken their opponents lightly.
"We place importance on all international series and it would be disrespectful to do anything other than that - there was no complacency in our camp," he told BBC Radio 5 live.
"We understood it would be a tough challenge to come here and win. Just because you are ranked above another team it doesn't give you the right to win any series.
"It was a good escape in the end. But we got ourselves into trouble, we didn't play particularly great cricket and did well to get a draw.
"Ian Bell and Matt Prior were excellent; they fought hard and that's a quality of the team, but we have to be better to get into winning positions, not scratching our way to a draw.
"We didn't move the ball sideways and if you don't move the ball against international batsmen you are not going to create chances. That was worrying for me. They swung the ball and we didn't do that too much."
With New Zealand on top in Auckland, England pushed nine fielders near to the boundary, but Flower defended the negative move.
"I've seen it on a number of occasions in Test cricket by various sides and it was a perfectly legitimate tactic," said Flower.
"We had no chance of winning the game and had to slow them down. They were fighting for every minute and every run.
"You can deploy your field to take wickets but in this instance the most important thing was to restrict the opponent."

As an Australian cricket fan I was greatly encouraged by England's poor performance in New Zealand. Australia will play better in England than NZ played in NZ, so Andy Flower is right - England need to improve. And they will need their best bowlers available - they will struggle to fill a gap left by the absence of Swann or Anderson.

@73 I never said Woakes was a better batsman - I just pointed out he has scored more first class centuries than Morgan - and Morgan has been found out at test level!
Put Woakes and Bresnan head to head in the championship and Bresnan will be left floundering - he is very much "yesterday's man".
Bresnan has done NOTHING of note for England for a long time now - not even for Yorkshire
Comment number 77. Posted by Rene Artoison 29 Mar 2013 17:02
You really dont rate Woakes do you!
I personally dont think either Bresnan or Woakes are good enough international bowlers in a 4 man attack. Bres hasnt performed well in test cricket for a while now. And neither are good enough to bat at 7, so were not going to go with 5 bowlers- and when Swann is fit, we shouldnt need to. Seamers must be Jimmy, Finn, and Broad/Maybe Tremlett if fit

Nice post as always howie and keep them coming. I never have much of an idea when, where or who England are playing so good to have posters like you on here ;)
Whilst I am on here, I wish you and all the other England fans on here a Happy Easter :)

The England v New Zealand rivalry resumes on 16th May with the Lord's Test.
NZ's victory in 1999 was their only win at Lord's in fifteen visits (eight draws). The Test in 2008 was drawn.
Headingley has seen only one draw in the six matches between the two countries. NZ's one win was in 1983...
Comment number 74. Posted by 00Mike26on 29 Mar 2013 09:17
I'm not as convinced that NZ had done enough in the first test, England were 421-6 and could easily have set 200-300 to chase.
@69 Bresnan is four years older.
I don't think Woakes has quite got enough to be an international bowler, we'll keep him at Warwicks winning championships instead. To describe him as a 'tail-ender' is silly though, maybe you've got carried away in an argument there.
Comment number 73. Posted by mrnoneofyourbusinesson 29 Mar 2013 01:18
@65, not many people on here will take you seriously if you really think Woakes is a better batsman than Morgan! Morgan has a modest first class record but he doesn't have the high ratio of not outs per innings that Woakes has. That's because on the rare occasions he plays first class cricket he usually bats at five. Consequently he doesn't bat with the tail as often as Woakes does.
Comment number 72. Posted by mrnoneofyourbusinesson 29 Mar 2013 01:07
@65, but don't take my word about Warwickshire's usual batting order in four day cricket. This year's Wisden will be out soon. In it you'll find full scorecards from every county championship match played last season. I challenge you to find one game Warwickshire played in which Woakes batted ahead of Clarke! When you follow county cricket as closely as I do you know these things!
Comment number 71. Posted by mrnoneofyourbusinesson 29 Mar 2013 00:57
@65, you're absolutely right to say that Woakes has a lot of not outs because he usually bats with the tail. That's because he's a tailender! He bats at number eight in four day cricket, although I know from your previous comments that you think he bats at seven and Rikki Clarke at eight, but you're wrong!
Comment number 70. Posted by mrnoneofyourbusinesson 29 Mar 2013 00:47
@65, you're the one that ought to do his research better! Bresnan played in the fourth and fifth Ashes Tests in 2010/2011. He took 2-25 and 4-50 and scored 4 in Melbourne and in Sydney he took 3-89 and 2-51 and scored 35 as he helped England to win both Tests by an innings!
Comment number 69. Posted by mrnoneofyourbusinesson 29 Mar 2013 00:37
@65, if Woakes is a far superior cricketer than Bresnan how come Bresnan has played so much more international cricket than Woakes? How come Geoff Miller said Woakes was in the Test squad for NZ as a like for like replacement for Bresnan? In other words Bresnan would have been picked ahead of Woakes had he been fit!
Comment number 68. Posted by Radish1on 28 Mar 2013 13:33
I have to say those making jokes about Jesse Ryder being attacked are a disgrace - the blokes in a coma for gods sake.
Comment number 67. Posted by panamaroadotahuhu2on 28 Mar 2013 11:07
Masculine women - perhaps, but at least they are good company and not dull as ditchwater shrews.
Gormless men - maybe. Like Sir Keith Park or Charles Upham, do you mean?
They also say that England is full of closeted homosexual men with a nodding acquaintance with personal hygiene and an issue with short arms and long pockets - but I'm not having a bar of it.
Comment number 66. Posted by Exiledbrummie001on 28 Mar 2013 10:18
Trott has a scottish mother and qualified through residency. Always stated that he wanted to play cricket for England
Comment number 65. Posted by Exiledbrummie001on 28 Mar 2013 09:56
@59 Woakes is a FAR superior cricketer than Bresnan; did not see many Ashes headlines concerning Bresnan whenwe won inAUS!!
As for Woakes being primarily a bowler - stats dont lie - he has been not out usually because he was batting with the tail, and six first class hundreds makes him a better batsman than Morgan! I suggest you do your research a bit better
Comment number 64. Posted by cityboy105on 28 Mar 2013 09:21
As I predicted, once more Eng's bowlers take the blame for Eng's batsmen's failure. Flower complains that Eng's troubles in NZ were based on Eng bowlers being unable to swing the ball. The batsmen, all out for 167 in the 1st test and 204 in the 3rd, but it's the bowlers' fault! The batsmen fail regularly but are untouchable. Amazing, but then Messers Flower & Gooch were, after all, both batsmen!
Comment number 63. Posted by yeates2012on 28 Mar 2013 08:45
Im glad england came out of the new zealand series with some credit.it showed a lot of guts to draw the last test.but they must improve.the batting has to find a way of getting big runs in the first innings as often as possible.the new zealand series at home.maybe more exciting than the ashes.the aussies are crap at the mo.but thats not to say england wont have there scary moments too.
Comment number 62. Posted by Maksi and hard to argue with thaton 28 Mar 2013 06:32
JimmyK. You have seen signs recently that Australia are capable of wiping the floor with anybody? They even got whitewashed by India who also are poor and haven't beaten anybody for a long time.
England made Kohli and Ashwin look like bungling idiots not 5 months ago but they are world beaters again?
Australia are gonna be nr1 again inside 2 years accordiing to mr Powerpoint. What a clown :))
Comment number 61. Posted by JimmyKon 28 Mar 2013 01:49
In all seriousness England are a joke, they did not deserve to draw the series with New Zealand and I hope like mad the the Auzzies wipe the floor with them. England is Over rated.
