BUT KEY ADMITS BETHELL CAN STILL PUSH ASHES BID
ROB KEY denies there is “an elaborate scheme” to oust Ollie Pope in favour of Jacob Bethell for the Ashes.
Pope’ grip on the pivotal No.3 shirt has been the source of intense scrutiny for most of the year and, although he held the spot for all six Tests this summer, there are no guarantees he will remain in place against Australia.
Bethell will get the chance to play his way into the first-Test reckoning during next month's white-ball tour of New Zealand.

Ed’s saviour act will not drive Nigel out nor convert anyone
WE'RE all used to Ed Davey’s stunts by now — they’re his go-to method to drum up attention from a media ecosystem he feels is in thrall to Retorm. It’s not hard to understand his envy. At the last election, the Lib Dems walked away with 72 MPs — their highest number ever.
