for me there are a lot of similar type quality batsman/keeper i mean i like Batty at Surrey also like Sutton at Lancs but there all very similar i suppose were debating this because none of them are truly world class but then again i would only say Boutcher is at the moment

You i think he kept well but i think if you have someone who kept aswell as he did he should be given a bit longer, like prior has been in a while even when he was batting poorly. Think mustard knocked up 80 odd in one game didnt he?

Would love to see Swann at 3 for T/20, Kieswetter in there too. Just a thought:
1. Denly
2. Kieswetter
3. Swann
4. Pietersen
5. Collingwood
6. Wright
7. Broad
8. Flintoff
9. Rashid
10. Plunkett
11. Anderson

I just think Flintoff could bat better with the tail and Broad is similar to Flintoff when he hits out. 10 off 2 balls in the T/20 world cup? Yeah spose we could fit Shah in somewhere :P

I would have Morgan in there too.
And Lumb, as Lumb is versatile enough to bat slower and more solid if Denly and a couple of other wickets fall! But also (as he proved today) he can bat aggressively too! This is a skill sadly lacking from the likes of KP and Wright - as they are not great at changing their style of batting to suit the game!!
And def Broad in there for Plunket.....better all rounder. But thats on the condition that Broad doesn't keep bowling short ball ALL the time!!  >:(

sorry to bring ths up but what does Luke Wright give to England in any forms of cricket i mean yes he has explosive power but when his stats in all forms are to be fair journeyman looking is there something i missing
