Keeping the options open

The debate about England's wicketkeeper refuses to die down. Geraint Jones has failed to produce the goods with the bat in the last nine months and his work behind the stumps still raises questions. Chris Read is the next man in line, should the selectors opt for a change, but a young 19-year-old is rapidly coming up on the outside. Steven Davies, the Worcestershire keeper, has recently hit a career-best 192 and good judges of the game believe he can go all the way. Simon Wilde, in the Sunday Times, has a feature on the young man making big strides.
