so, with juts one t20 before the world cup, do we try Craig in the next game after todays terrible start? Mind you I had to agree it was a good idea not to play him today, a slight bit early, but we have 1 t20 left, we HAVE to play him

Yes we do, even if he doesn't keep, but I would love to see his Pink Puma mitts along with the evolution batting gear out on tv

Kieswetter is Englands way forward in t20 cricket! The sooner we get him in, the better. Kieswetter t20, Foster/Prior odi, Prior/Foster tests.

I can't see Foster playing cricket for England in Tests, even ODI's he doesn't have the batting required by the England selectors

I think that a decent run in either side would give him the confidence to be a very effective batsman for England.

If Foster played Test cricket, surety he could at 8 or 9? Swann and/or Broad could bat in front of him

sorry but for me Foster is a better batsman than Broad i think both him and Read will be both overlooked because international sides dont like there keepers batting below 7 for balance reasons

Very true, I would have this as the order:

Strauss
Cook
Trott
Pietersen
Collingwood
Bell
Swann
Foster
Broad
Anderson
Onions

i like the look of that team but looks a little light on batting in the lower middle order
not keen on Swann at 7 for me

and i can not see Prior being dropped any time soon and nor should he

It would really help if Fred didn't retire because we could have Flintoff at 7, Foster at 8 and Swann at 9! Then drop Broad :D

why would you drop prior though????

there is no better batsman/keeper in world cricket and his keeping has been getting stronger and stronger.

Kumar Sangakara(not sure on spelling) Haddin probably has the edge on him, MS Dhoni

only dhoni averages more than prior sangakkara doesn't keep in tests Haddin averages less than Prior in tests and not one of the above are great keepers.

i know stats are only half the battle but after the amount of times theses players have played i think they give a big reflection
