Bit obvious it will be Morgan

Bell should get the permanent place and Morgan will take the extra batsmen role from bell. Although I would mind seeing James Hildreth in there.

The selectors will go with Morgan whether right or wrong

England should pick someone who can bowl a few overs. Bopara is my choice

might just throw in Bresnan into the mix. Play Prior at 6, Bres 7, Sicknote Broad 8, Swan 9, Anderson 10, Tremlett 11. It's an attaching option that I doubt will happen.

morgan, don't quite know why people are mentioning hildreth, maybe just a bit of bias on their part

I worry about bopara mentally plenty of talent but not much upstairs it seems at times which was the opposite of colly

I say it will be bopara

Agree with nick. Personally I wouldn't have Morgan in the team...

For Bopara I think he needs one good knock vs one of the stronger teams and he'll click. A bit like Symonds, once it happens for Bopara he'll be awesome

Bres at 7 or Bopara at 6 for me - agree that the 5th bowling option is important.

I think selectors will go with Ravi.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Morgan in and KP out sometime soon - he's seems to have hacked off the England management by going home from the World Cup early, and he's not been scoring consistently enough to guarantee his place

would love to see a left field pick like that - sadly i think the england selection committee are far to predictable

Title: Re: who will replace collingwood in test side

Far too predictable suits me. I'll take an Ashes winning side. James Taylor would be my pick.

Taylor is too young...

I think the selectors will choose either Bopara or Morgan.
