Looking at it why on earth is Buttler not in the performance squad? Why would they go for Bairstow ahead of him?

[mars]

Shahzad should be in the main quad for me. He has deserved a place in the team and has the skill of reverse swinging the ball.

I have no idea why the selectors have left out Adil Rashid from both squads. I would pick him any day over Panesar, Briggs and Tredwell.

Adil Rashid with Yorkshire brought 732 runs at 45.75 alongside 57 wickets at 31.29.
Danny Briggs for Hampshire: 32 wickets at 39.43 (19 fair enough)
Tredwell: 37 wickets at 29.67 (he's is 28)

Adil Rashid is 22 and has already got 228 first class wicket and the most shocking this is that he has only played 5 ODI's and 5 T20I. Now what's going on here?

tredwell is better than monty in my eyes and can bat a bit along with rashid, why temletts ahead of shahzad i dont know but tremlett will be back up so all good, whers buttler in the performance squad and great to see chambers in performance team, he had real good season for us and was unlucky with the injuries!

[Cover_Drive]

I remember Younus Khan who has played along Adil Rashid was always in full praise of him. SO yes I also believe he deserve a selection ahead of Monty Panasar who has done absolutely nothing lately.

I think the squad is pretty much spot on, with a few talking points.

Bresnan is poor but there is no-one else glaringly obvious in the seamers department who should have his place.

I can see why they've plumped for Monty but i reckon Rashid can feel very hard done too. In truth id rather have Ian Blackwell in the squad ahead of Tredwell or Yardy.

[Buzz]

I agree - Blackwell must have upset someone somewhere

[niceonechoppy]

Shazhad is very unlucky, Bresnan is not international class (and Im a Yorkshireman!). Fair enough to Monty, I hope he does well as he has worked hard on his bowling and got decent rewards.....

[Outlaw]

Blacky is class however he doesn't fit in with the fitness regime likes his guiness too much!

[essexarsenal]

here's a question for you,   if samit patel was "fit" would he be in that ashes squad ??

[Beachcricket]

I've been reliably informed that, that individual may or may not be a bit full of himself and as a result has or has not been known to rub people up the wrong way.

[Buzz]

Shazhad isn't unlucky, he isn't good enough yet. He bowled well in one game for England, has fielded shockingly and isn't ready. He has been bigged up by Michael Vaughan and his management, I am not sure he is mentally strong enough either.

Samit Patel is an Idiot. He choice was to eat curry now and be a "I couldabeen" or be an international cricketer for 5 years make masses of cash in the indian premier league and then eat curry after beeing a star.

He chose to eat curry now.

Curry the stable food of Indian people?

[Buzz]

Jeet - no the indian take away version with extra cream and saturated fats - not the healthy food of the indian people.

Sorry if I caused offence - it is my utter frustration when a seriously talented player can't be bothered to be as good as he can be. Look at how freddie turned it around - it is possible. I am not saying Samit is as talented as Freddie - but the right attitude goes a long way in cricket - just ask Andrew Strauss or Paul Collingwood - not the most talented players in the world but two massively hard working ones.

[espocrespo]

cant believe they picked panesar over rashid

[Outlaw]

Samit is a shame, very talented cricketer just loves the food! Once saw him sneaking into a chip shop with hoody on his head to try and disguise it was him! His younger brother is a quality player though and has a different body shape!
