What is it going to be?

There's no one left assuming Trott wont come back and they don't seem to want Prior.

Maybe a recall for Compton and/or Taylor. I just hope KP's sacking hasn't given Carberry a lifeline.
 

A Cook, S Robson, M Ali, I Bell, J Root, B Stokes, J Butler

Depends what happens with Trott and how people go on the Lions tour and start of the cc though.
 
Watched Sangakarra get over 300 for them today against Bangladesh.

Not that anyone gives a fuck but the bowling was dross.

I think in the series SL have knocked up over 1200 in two innings.
 
Definitely bring Compton back and stick with him this time.

Get Root in the middle order and keep him there.

If Trott his fit then he should come back.

They need to decide if they are done with Prior or not.
 
Cook
Root
Robson
Bell
Balance
Stokes
Prior
Borthwick
Broad
Onions
Anderson

Question marks over half that team to be honest but it about best I can muster I'm afraid!

Just prepare a massive greentop and get Jimmy to take 20 wickets.

Doesn't matter if we score 120 if it's swinging around corners.

Pains me to say I couldn't give a fuck at the moment, clowns on and of the pitch.

aye, this. if not for stokes & possibly borthwick/onions i wouldn't give the least fuck about england.

the way they shuffled stokes around in the odis and dropped him though, again terrible treatment. playing him at 3? FFS ludicrous
 
Would rather see Stokes back in a Durham shirt for the majority of next summer than playing for Cook and his spineless sychophants.

selfishly yes but for the sake of the lads in question i want them to play for england, stokes/onions must be gutting for the lad.
 
I think Trott is done for the time being and perhaps beyond. Prior will come back and bat at 7 IMHO. Root to open, and Ballance and Stokes to bat 5 and 6

Cook
Root
Bell
Morgan
Ballance
Stokes
Prior
Broad
A Spinner
Anderson
Onions
