Pretty sure it'll be CT, but I'd be tempted to bing in another spinner.

Indeed, very disappointing. Tremlett has been chosen to replace Broad in the squad, just awaiting on ICC confirmation.

AS or CT though... ?

yeah true, he did well in the T20 big bash in aus as well... He's still young and has got a big career ahead of him, however Yardy's experience probably edged it.

Yardy should not have been here in the first place. Fancy picking him over Tremlett, or Rashid at that.

Danny Briggs would have done a better job as a spinner. Will be class that lad, as will Jamie Vince (you can tell I am a Hampshire fan)

All guns seem to be out for Yards at the minute, but arguably he was one of the main successes during the successful 20/20 campaign, so I think he has shown that he is worthy of a place in the squad.

Admittedly, he looks to be having a bad patch, and I think it might have been prudent to have Rashid available as an alternative.

Fed up of all the Yardy haters though. harping on about him not being good enough - he is! He's just in crap form at the moment!

Rashid over Yardy any day of the week for me. Shame about Broad even though most of the World hate him, he's a class bowler and an important part of the set-up. Tremlett is a good bowler too and hope he gets some wickets.

Not green though, however I've been offered £250 not to wear it for obvious reasons by Ayrtek, my price is more than that...

Gold  :D

on topic though, very dissapointing for Broad, that side strain for bowlers is very nasty and heals slowly, thats 2 recent injuries to Broad best to get it right.  Tremelette was a real winner for you blokes in the Ashes and was very impressive, but I'm not sure his natural length will be as good on the sub-continent.
