James Taylor...?

Surely he should be getting a few lions game to prove his worth for the full team.

Says the teams are provisional so would assume they see where they lie in terms of who is going to the world cup or not before confirming. Assume James Taylor is covered by that

Got to be:

3. Ballance
4. Trott
5. Vince

Surely be a bit of a backtrack to put Ballance at 5 after his exploits this summer?

And with it being SA, don't think both Riley and Rashid will play, one or the other.

Be intersting to see who keeps wicket if Billings and Bairstow both play. I'd rather Billings, he looks like a real natural, and his keeping style reminds me of James Foster, in as much as he's all about the loose hands, which can't be a bad thing.

I'd have thought they'd give them both a try if both in.

Rashid will probably be fighting for the last batting spot with Billings from the looks of things.

We may see Trott opening which would be instructive.

That's a point actually, didn't consider that at first. Surpised to see Trott is not in the one day squad squad for it though?

Small problem in the OD squad of 4 of the 7 batsman being openers  :D.

bizzare selection of boyd rankin,I wonder what the selectors could be thinking

England obviously want Trotty back in, i'm not convinced he should be back in myself but Robson was unconvincing this summer

Ballance and Root have come on really well for England, maybe we are looking at Trott to open in the future so not to move Ballance from number 3?

dont think Robson is quite ready for englands senior side yet. If can get trott back to his best and in the right frame of mind I dont see why he couldnt open. Rankin is a waste of time, not sure why they persist with him, stats dont back up his selection either

I wonder the opposite - Ballance might move up to open if Trott does return. He has the game to be more expansive and counterbalance Captain Plod

Delighted for Trott. Hope he can have a successful tour and put his hat back in the ring for selection to the WI. I think he will have to score a lot of runs to be considered with how well Ballance did in the summer though. As mentioned above I think his best chance of getting back in may be as an opener but I reckon Lyth deserves a shot at that gig after the summer he had.
