Would have had Wright/Hales/Anyone over Ravi, but other than that I think they've nailed it.

I think Wright can feel a little hard done by.

Hales and Wright deserve a chance. I think Rav is lucky, but once again I think he is there for his bowling.

bopara must be very tight with some of the management,   i cant see that he has done anything in the past 2-3 seasons worthy of a call up

Carberry averaged 85 in last years pro 40 what more can the lad do?

James Vince, Steven Croft, Varun Chopra, Dawid Malan, Luke Wright, James Taylor all had impressive Pro 40 campaigns last year so it doesnt make sense whatsoever for me.

Ravi and Ali Cook have been mates for years and were all coached by Flower and Gooch at Essex

Wright and Hales were very unlucky not to get a shout, I hope for England's sake Bop is just in the squad because he is the best 'waterboy' in England!

I think that's got to be it Buzz. If his dibbly dobblers are getting him in the team it's a sad day all round.

Would have loved to see Carbs in there, he's a blinding fielder as well. I think Hales and Wright are very unlucky, Taylor is quite unlucky and I personally would have had Danny Briggs or Samit Patel just for the left arm spin option they offer.

I know he's not flavour of the month but what about Dernbach? I rate him very highly....

As for Rav Bop, he's a man who confuses me. I can understand the England selectors giving him numerous chances as I think he's got all the talent in the world I'm just not sure he'll ever show it at International level. I think he comes up a bit short mentally...
