Since the time Horton got a regular place in the Lancashire side in 2007 Paul Horton has been consistently doing well and has now become one of the mainstays of Lancashire's batting. So the question is why he can not get selected even for England's development squad and someone like Denly who averaged 30 this season gets selected, yes Denly too is talented but Horton is the man in form.
Horton is a decent opening batsman who is reasonably good against pace and it is not like there are too many players going around in County cricket who are pushing for places to get into the England team. So it is time that England's selectors recognize his consistency and give him the chance to prove his worth.

There are times those who have the job to select see it merely as a job to be done. Unfortunately it is a common disease...the passionate, selfless, keen talent-spotters are a lost tribe.
Mishra was a similar case in point. Makes you wonder...
SB, It is something to see that Mishra has played 77 matches and has taken 303 w @ 24.91 in fc. which shows his class.
AS far as Horton is concerned I don't want to hype him too much but he is no doubt a decent player which can be seen by his average of 45.96 in CC.
