No trott????????
-
Cook has to play and skipper.
You cant drop Trott either!
-
Kieswetter's a mug, Cook for ODI!
-
It does not matter who they play the result will be pretty much the same as the mindset is wrong we play with fear especially the fear of being dropped for a bad performance when other sides don't as they are backed so until that changes our results won't
-
no room for kieswetter or pietersen.
probably play rashid, leg spinners are gold dust
-
1. Cook *
2. Kieswetter
3. Trott
4. Bell
5. Morgan
6. Trego
7. Swann
8. Rashid
9. Bresnan

if trott plays he has to open
-
Cook (C)
Kieswetter (Wk)
Trott
Pietersen
Morgan
Bell
Bresnan
Swann
Rashid
Woakes
Broad
I also think Hildreth could play that Trott role
-
As its been said no Trott???? He has been Mr Dependable since he has come into the team. He should be opening to give all the time in the world to bat the way he does.................no fuss and productive. He knows that even with a ton on the board he has never got enough runs.
-
I like Trego and Hildreth, wish I could fit both of them in!

Trott hass been the best batting discovery for england in a long time in all forms.
Cook to come in and like the idea of Woakes and Briggs
Give Keiswetter a go why not
Time to rebuild time for some to be given a good chance
-
Still reckon Kieswetter should be picked over Davies as keeper as he is more of a power player to bat at the top of the innings with Cook
-
pre world cup a lot of people had a rant at me for saying prior is not a world class cricketer, and now i have not seen him in one prospective team, because of one bad tournament?
-
he is world class at first class level of that there is no doubt
It may be a poor vintage for world class all round keeper batsman but he up there in the longer format of the game
-
sorry procricket, a world class player covers all formats for me, you dont see sachin only turn up for test matches.
-
Trott*
Pieterson
Bell
Hildreth
Morgan
Bopara

Davies
Bell (C)
Trott
Pieterson
Morgan
Bopara
Swann
Broad
Shazaad
Rashid

Not in batting order...
We need some big six hitters a la Pollard etc...
Who are they???
-
for want of a better word, we need a meathead... 7 foot tall, built like a brick shithouse, 4lb bat, good eye for the ball... we just dont have anyone who can do it consistantly
-
sorry procricket, a world class player covers all formats for me, you dont see sachin only turn up for test matches.
fso you want him dropped for the longer version of the game as well
-
We are not taught to bat with freedom that's why so rarely a player comes along with the balls to do it the last real one was banger oh how we miss you
-
ben stokes is a possible
-
Davies
Bell (C)
Trott
Pieterson
Morgan
Bopara
Swann
Broad
Shazaad

If you want a big hitter then Davies out and Kieswetter in! I know he does have some bad innings but he can certainly hit a big ball!
-
have to admit give keiswetter a chance he can hit a big ball
-

Not sure I rate him too highly bt was discarded pretty quick, but brought in too soon.
-
I don't really rate kieswetters keeping I'm probably old fashioned but I like a good keeper behind the stumps
-

i have no attachment to him, if someone came along and could do a better job id have them in, i think he is weak mentally and has never played for sustained periods with the positive instinct he was gifted. he is worth his place in the test side, but as i have repeatedly said, i cant give him the tag 'world class', hopefully someone else can put a case forward to replace him
everyones given up on him as a one day player so far though, calling for kieswetter, the world cup debacle should provide an oppotunity to rebuild ODI wise, its time to freshen up and give someone else a chance, i.e. davies or smith
-

Also another saffa which im not too keen on. If trott,pieterson,dernback,kieswetter,morgan all play I wont be supporting engand but someone else!
-
Trott
Cook
Bell
Morgan (let Morgan WK, to be in a similar role to AB, if Ravi played)
Taylor
Buttler / Bopara
Rashid
Swann
Broad
Bresnan
Tremlett
-
agree but as other have i rate buttler as a better batsman than keiswetter and i suspect he might push on this season.
Ben Stokes is another one i would like to see given a chance as with Woakes as well.
There a few out there worth y of a chance for sure.
As long as Luke Wright is sent packing
Bopara should be given a chance but a last one i hate his arrogance but think he has talent.
Big summer for Bell time to move up a gear again for me i think he has it all but needs to do it now in all forms and score big not just look good.(yes i know his mentality has improved but he could be world class in my opinion)
-

Who are they???
Biggest hitters on the county circuit - Napier, Andrew, Stevens, Hamilton Brown, Buttler, Foster, Maynard, Berg, Shah. Players I know who can hit a ball a long way but most no where near england standard. Napier has got to be up there can bowl 90mph and hit big ??

Biased, Napier's had 2 good innings and that's it. His bowling is woeful as well!
-
Out of that list
Stevens
Buttler
only the rest no thank you
Shah should have been at the world cup
-
no mention for samit patel as yet

Shah is a classic- all the talent in the world can absolutely smash it- saw him get that brill ninety then got dopped i think.
BUT big BUTT he has the fear of failure in a massive way, and his chance has gone.
-
no mention for samit patel as yet
If he shifts a few pounds, or at least tries to, then he's in for me!
-
my line up
Bell
Cook
Trott
Pietersen
Morgan
Stokes
Buttler
Swann
Woakes
Shazzad
Anderson (if in England)
-
Buttler is a good shout for the future, too young at the moment. Did you see him in the T20 semi finals. Stuart Broad? no problem!
Will be interesting to see what somerset do with him and Kieswetter over the summer. Last season Kieswetter took the gloves with Buttle playing just as a batsman and keeping when Kieswetter was with england.
-
Never too young maybe
James Vince as well if he gets a bloody good start to the summer
-
If he shifts a few pounds, or at least tries to, then he's in for me!
does it matter? is he not meeting the demands of cricket matches as he is? or is it just the england management trying to play big brother, you will do as we say?
-
Davies (WK)
Pietersen
Trott
Bell
Morgan
Buttler
S. Patel
Swann
Bresnan
Woakes
Broad
Rashid, Taylor and Hamilton Brown on sidelines for me.
-
surprised that bresnan doesnt get in more sides, hes our best bowler!
-
I think we have a real opertunity to play as many of the hopefuls as possible time for a few youngster to be bloodied
Hales (possibly more of a 4 day player though)
vince
stokes
briggs
Taylor
all should be given a bloody crack of the whip if there in form
-
Cook
Trott
Pietersen
Bell
Bopara
Morgan
Samit Patel
Foster
Swann
Bresnan
Broad
Anderson 12 man
Lots of talent to pick from.
-
oh yeah forgot bresnan, he would come in for rashid if it was seamer friendly!
-
Lyth is a bloody busy cricketer another with a chance possibly
-
Lyth is a bloody busy cricketer another with a chance possibly
shows how much talent we have, lots of players knocking on the door - gale, taylor, adams, bairstow, harris etc. Some great young players to look out for !
-
Ian Bell is getting in alot of these sides and i am a big fan of him but hes never seem to get the big 100's we need , gets a very good looking 40 and gives his wicket away hes had plenty of chances now .
Also i think shah was pretty unlucky to get dropped , he hits a long ball and has had some brillant knocks in a england shirt .
Lyth hlidreth and Bulter are my top 3 to come in for the batting , players like luke wright that arnt international quality need to be dumped .
-
Nobody has even mentioned the CB Forum members for England! Most seem to have more kit than a Test match player on a 5 month winter tour; the best custom made bats, top of the range pads, gloves, thigh pads, the latest fashion statement boots....what more do you need? Ability.....pah....over-rated!
C'mon Mr Flower, time to stop being a Forum Guest and stealing all our ideas as your own, join the CB Forum and start a post on here appealing for new talent......there's Buzz, Peplow, Colesy, Canners, Talisman, Leo, Liam, Roco, Simmy, Johan, Golders, 19reading87, Yash, JonPinson, Ayrtek, Tom, Jimba, how many do you need........oh, and don't bother with Punter_Legend, he's got homework to do :D
-
davies is a shocking keeper... y would u pick him????
-
hildreth has scored lots of runs on the lions tour a must for me
lots for somerset last season he is a class act
