[Alvaro]

It comes down to Tredwell or Briggs and Woakes or Wright, doesn't it Pete?

[petehosk]

I suspet that may be the case, although sometimes one or two of the selectors seem to have brain meltdown! 

[petehosk]

I would like to see Woakes given a chance but there is a genuine case for most of the squad to make the final 15!!

[Vantage_Cricket]

I would like to see Woakes given a chance but there is a genuine case for most of the squad to make the final 15!!

Likewise, he can strike a ball as well!

[petehosk]

When do they announce the final squad?

[Alvaro]

The final squad will be cut to 15 by August 18

Finn has been England's best bowler in the shorter forms of the game and has done far better in sub-continental conditions than all of our other bowlers(look at the way he bowled against India in India) so how could you leave him out?

I personally don't rate Bresnan in the shorter forms of the game, would rather see someone like Dernbach(providing he doesn't over-use the slower ball as he has done in the past) in as he is usually a reliable bowler towards the end of an innings.

Really can't find an 11, or even a 15, that I'd be comfortable picking! So frustrating!

[Johnny]

So if Cook makes the final cut does Broad still skipper?

[Manormanic]

Nice to see Crofty in there as I've played against him a fair bit... Can't see him making the final cut though as not sure he's good enough.

Think Kerrigan's better than Parry or Briggs, though he took a fair spanking off KP the other week

Kerrigan is not a serious T20 option though, a bettr bet for the long form of the game.

[Manormanic]

Amazed that only one person has picked Bresnan despite his performances int eh last winning effort!
