England won't need more than three seamers + a bit of Trott, surely?

I think he deserves a place in the 11.

He has too. Otherwise I don't think the team looks balanced.

I'm not convinced. 5 FC 100s isn't great experience, even if he is young and in form. Also the Yorkshire Director of Cricket said on Sky the other day he didn't think he should get picked yet!

i think he will play but im not sure he should be in the squad. he is definately one for the future but is he ready for test cricket? im not so sure. I hope if he does get his chance he does well but im just a little concerned that hes not had the time in first class cricket to give him enough experience at a great level. Luckily its only the west indies and not south africa he will be facing up. Even bopara can score a ton against them

the danger is more that he does get a couple of scores and then gets thrown to the wolves against the Yarpies later in the Summer.  I really want to say that I can see him being ready for that challenge, but I'd be lying...

Yeah. But it's a 13 man squad, so you have to leave out another?

I think he might miss out in the first test and they will go for 5 bowlers and Prior at 6 but he will get a chance at some point in the series
