[espocrespo]

In the test squad, and i think he has deserved his place, maybe for his clever shots in the shorter form of the game, but i think he can be just as good a player in the test form.
anybody else have views on his selection?

[ianbuchanan]

obviously a great timer of the ball, scored a good amount of runs in the one-day game and i think he deserves his place

[Master-Basterd]

He will either thrive or fail in the test team.

He's even said himself he needs to work on his 4 day game, let alone 5 days of tests in varying conditions around the world.

I would love to see him use his T20 style/inovation and Fcuk over the Australian,Pakistan etc bowling attacks.

Time will tell

[Talisman]

If he is in then he should be in for the whole summer barring a dramatic failure rate.....

[Johnny]

Is he not there to replace Colly? Presuming Colly is fit for the Pakistan series I'm guessing this is just a brief experiment (if he even makes the starting XI)

[will5210]

I think he's been picked for his big match temperament as much as anything else.

Its certainly worth a try against Bangladesh, but where would you bat him? 5,6, or 7?
I think probably 6.

[danspink]

i think he should bat 5 and play 5 bowlers

this would be my team,

Strauss
Cook
Bell
Pietersen
Morgan
Prior
Swann
Bresnan
Broad
Shazad
Anderson

[Mr Cricket]

no space for finn?

[danspink]

[northernjack]

So Trott Dropped Because Of One Bad Series..?

[Alvaro]

So Trott Dropped Because Of One Bad Series..?

yes

[will5210]

For me it'll be

Strauss
Cook
Trott
Pietersen
Bell
Morgan
Prior
Swann
Bresnan
Anderson
Finn

[Johnny]

I think Will's team is the most probable, but possibly leaves the bowling a little shy with no Collingwood as back up - I'd maybe have gone with Luke Wright as opposed to Morgan.

As much as I like England with Prior at 6 and 5 specialist bowlers, i think they'll back themselves to take 20 wickets in early English conditions vs. Bangladesh

[will5210]

Trott & Pietersen may have to give 10-15 overs between them with the ball

[Apple]

I think that my team would be

1. Strauss
2.Cook
3.Trott
4.Peitersen
5.Bell
6.Morgan
7.Prior
8.Swann
9.Bresen
10.Andersen
11.Finn
