Congratulations to former Essex bowler Tymal Mills who has  taken his first England ODI wicket . Would he be the first player to retire having taken more England 20/20 wickets than Test ( the only format he now plays ) ?

Interesting development. Although we all know T20 is not 'proper cricket'  :P

No, Chris Schofield didn't take a Test wicket but did take 4 T20 wickets.  Michael Yardy is another one that springs to mind.  There's guys like Parry and Briggs who will never play Test Cricket either.

He's actually been playing a lot.  He's played in the Bangladesh T20 Competition, the NZ T20 Competiton and a couple of games in the Aussie Big Bash since the English season ended.

It may not be proper cricket, however there is an audience and a requirement for players.  I'm pleased the lad is able to compete and do it well, given he nearly had to pack up.
