I'm also surprised to see that people are dropping a T20 World Cup Winning opening batsman in Lumb.

He hardly pulled his weight in the side that won the world cup. He averaged less than 20 in that tournament and scored a mighty 2 runs in the final and that low level of performance has summed up his whole international T20 career. KP and Kieswetter are the ones who actually scored the bulk of the runs and guided us to winning that tournament. And yet somehow Lumb has managed to keep his place whilst the other two have been sent back to their counties..

I'd load it up with spin.

I think it's particularly important to have lots of bowling options, as one or two of the spinners might be having a bad day, so you have to make sure you can fill the overs in. That and this team bats very low down, so it will help make up for the fragile top order.

Jim Allenby's an Aussie. Don't think he's declared an interest in playing for us Poms...
