Yes Pete really like this side...... only thing i might change is YJB in for Prior because Prior is a knob.

Did Jones and Cook ever play together?

No, Jones played his last Test in 2005.
He'd have been in my side had they ever played together

I know but he has a very decent average and is a better keeper. That's the only reason!

Will just have to stick with Broad then. Shame really as I rated Jones very highly!!

I can't believe Moeen Ali hasn't been mentioned yet.

I think Strauss was a jolly good player, and a tough nut to boot.

I would�ve liked Strauss, Trescothick, Cook, Vaughan, KP to start me off.

I don't think he was a better keeper than Jonny is now, and Jonny's average with the bat whilst keeping is much higher (and in more challenging circumstances, given Prior often came in at 300-5)

Where would you fit him in? Not knocking the bloke, but I'm struggling to see a role he could fill in a side of that strength.

Cook
Trescothick
Trott
Pietersen
Bell
Moeen
Woakes
Ambrose
Giles
Rankin
Anderson

Got swing and bounce covered, has two spinners so the team can play in England or in Asia. Giles can keep it tight, Moeen can attack with the ball turning either way so doesn't matter if the opposition is full of right or left handers. Everyone all the way down to 9 can hold a bat and there is a perfect blend of style, aggression and solidity in that batting lineup.

As the final added bonus, which makes this England XI the bestest out of every team mentioned so far, Anderson has been separated from his clique of Broad, Swann and Prior. Without the spectre of juvenile and disgraceful dressing room bullying hanging over him, Pietersen will use that freedom to score eleventy gazillion runs as he fulfils his potential as the second coming of Viv Richards.

There you go, scientific proof that England should have more Warwickshire players.
