Ameer Ahmed and Eddy Ikin were given the opportunity to put England's One Day International side through its paces at Loughborough University last Wednesday. Both members of Derbyshire's Academy, Ameer and Eddy bowled against England's players in the nets as they prepared for the five match series against Australia. Full of confidence following excellent performances with the ball for the school's 1st XI this season, Ameer bowled Ryan Sidebottom and Eddy struck England captain Andrew Strauss on the helmet with a short-pitched delivery. Ameer had bowled earlier in the season against Bangladesh's test side and both boys hope to be invited to pit their wits against Australia later in the summer as the Aussies prepare to face Derbyshire.
