...glory - and maritial status as a Spice Dude - notwithstandiing, England coach Fabio Capello has made clear that reputation counts for nothing in his selections; he warns he'll only pick players at the top of their game, testing their skills week in and week out in the world's strongest league.

Schreck will row in the Crimson championship four—the boat in which Parker traditionally fields his strongest rowers.
