When the Ashes squad was announced, chair of selectors George Bailey name-checked Michael Neser, the unluckiest omission, and Sean Abbott as two players who would have available from county cricket should reinforcements be needed. Neither of them needs to prove anything about their credentials, but early performances reinforced their all-round value. Abbott, who was rested against Warwickshire in an agreement with CA, started the season with a five-wicket haul against Lancashire and also contributed scores of 42 and 52 not out. Wickets have yet to come in a bundle for Neser - although he did produce a wicked inswinger to castle Wiaan Mulder - but he made a crucial 90 against Leicestershire to ensure that Glamorgan could save the game.
