Hope Vince gets a game, I think he's earned it!

Surprised no Bairstow after his performance in the last ODI

Hmmm - Wood's dodgy ankle strikes me as the best thing to be rested.

Woakes is a step backwards

Nice to see Reece Topley getting into the T20 set up

Woakes is a step backwards

I disagree - I think he is a much improved player, bowling at a fair lick and swinging it, I'm happy to see him back in the fold, and with the right coaching, I think he can follow in the footsteps of Jimmy (perhaps they should spend some quality time together?)

Agreed, excellent player who bowls at good pace and has done well in limited overs, strong batting doesn't hurt either.

Woakes is decent and getting better.
Could be a big part in 'new' england.
Def has potential with ball and bat

I'm very shocked Bairstow isn't in after his knock at the riverside but I suppose like Taylor he just doesn't seem to fit for the selectors. I'm not a big fan of Woakes but I can definitely see what he offers. I can see it being Topley and Vince dropping out of the 13, although Vince certainly does deserve it!

Vince is great value to watch, and I feel it is not too late for him to have a decent ODI and test career.

Is it? It was probably a shootout between him and Taylor for a place tomorrow and personally I'd pick Taylor ahead of him. Unless they decide Billings will make way and the order can shuffle.

Deserves the opportunity, absolutely no point in canning him after just five ODIs and 3 T20s

Understand where you're coming from but I think Taylor has deserved it more for a few years now and Roy didn't exactly look to comfortable against the pace the other day.

I would have gone for Taylor ahead of Roy for that reason Cummings in the T20  as quick as 93 MPH

I know I bang on about this all the time but I just can't work out what Taylor has ever done wrong to warrant such harsh treatment from the selectors, I mean the lad couldn't possibly be one of the best English batsmen in 50 over cricket could he, I mean he only averages 52.19 in domestic one dayers.
