Does the winter tour party almost pick itself?

Strauss
Cook
Trott
KP
Bell
Morgan
Prior
Bresnan
Broad
Swann
Anderson

plus
Tremlett
Kieswetter
Panesar
Bopara

Personally I wouldn't take Bopara or Kieswetter but that will be the squad surely? Maybe with an additional spinner if they take 16...

Morgan would be reserve wicki, harsh to leave out Woakes who as probably done enough to warrant a place, same for Kieswetter and Bairstow

 

[NorthCountryBoy]

If we only take two spinners it would suggest that they will be expecting to play Swann only during most games :-(

Very good player, but I'd imagine Monty will get the 2nd spinner then Rashid and Patel will be ahead of him if we take 3 spinners (which I think we should)

I like him but for some reason he seems to have disapeared from the selectors minds.

doesnt take enough wickets in domestic cricket. An international class leggie should take 80 wickets a year in county cricket

No bowler in the country, English or not, takes 80 wickets a season these days.

Sure Rashid was the highest wicket taking spinner in the country last season, although he hasn't replicated that form this season.

80 maybe too high but 70 on the basis they play every game

60-70 is a fair amount, but in fairness to Rashid, Headingley has never been a turning wicket, hence why lots of their spinners in recent years have moved on to other counties (Grayson, Dawson, Middlebrook)
