Bell

Morgan

Bopara

[essexarsenal]

seems like the ashes 11 is decided apart from number 6
cook, strauss, trott, KP, Colly, ?, Proir, Broad, Swann, Anderson, Finn

[PM7]

Surely its got to be Bell, he looks fitter, stronger and sports a more masculine haircut these days.

[espocrespo]

i would pick bopara and bell, i would replace him for colly.
And if it was me it would be
Cook
Strauss
Trott
KP
Bell
Bopara
Prior
Broad
Finn
Anderson
Swann

12th: Rashid

[Riddy]

has to be bell,, if he scores runs in the next couple weeks

[golders]

No way will bopara even get a look in,hasnt played test cricket since the last ashes when he got found out big tme.needs to force his way back in via the one day and has a good chance to do so with kp being dropped. think they will go with bell, but i still think we need an opener instead of cook.whats robert key done wrong??

[golders]

oh and think they will plump for bell over morgan at six,morgan having done nothing since his ton

[roco]

Bell end of

[Alvaro]

I love how fickle sport is - 12 months ago Bell's name was mud, now people can't wait for his reassuring presence in the team.
I wonder if in 12 months time that Cook will have been on a wonder run and will be captain of the Test team.

[roco]

Let me rephrase bell at 5/6 but not if he is put at 3 which I have always believed plus yes I am a warickshire fan

[golders]

think trotty has 3 nailed down,he is quality

[Alvaro]

I agree Roco - he certainly wasn't England's worst player in the last Ashes - a few good fifties but no ton iirc

[Alvaro]

think trotty has 3 nailed down,he is quality

he wasn't in SA, but hopefully he has put that behind him.

[roco]

Bell is a scape goat at times as he is not a test no.3 but he wants to be like broad is not a  test 7 but he wants to be plus yes trott will be at 3 but still yet to be convinced at test level as sa sorted him out easy enough but will wait till after ashes and will be quite happy to eat my words

[golders]

he has the tendancy to get too intense and introverted,think tha happened in sa. think the aussies will give him a barrage of abuse and wont put up with his idiosyncrisies- should  gret viewing! I see the aussies called up hazlewood- imsure he looked pretty militery medium when he played some one dayers over here?

[AlRidd]

I would have

Cook
Strauss
Trott
Pietersen
Bell
Collingwood
Prior
Broad
Swann
Anderson
Finn
