Cheese grater, diplodocus.

The teams, imaginatively named 'Team A' and 'Team B', for the Bears' first three-day warm-up, starting tomorrow, are:

Team A: Westwood, Poonia, Troughton, Clarke, Piolet, Johnson, MacLeod, Choudry, Woakes, Carter - plus a local player.
Team B: Maddy, Frost, Potha, Ateeq, Barker, Tahir, Anyon, Miller, Rankin - plus two local players.

Meanwhile, down under, Jonathan Trott, on England Lions duty in New Zealand, bumped into Mark Greatbatch the other day. Batch was not very friendly.

Much missed.
