Monty recall?

[stretch]

He's hot to trott

Yes and you can drop Patel. Monty can turn it, he takes wickets and he gets the fans going. How anyone thinks that Patel's a test cricketer is beyond me. Decent county all-rounder, but a poor batsman and bowler at this level.

 

[Durhamish]

I hope so

3 seamers worked really well

 

[NorthCountryBoy]

Panesar is nailed on.

Are people on here seriously suggesting we drop Trott? Really?

Bumble was.

SoS.

aye, and i'm michael holding.

 

[SAFC 2012]

Canny, heard a few accents watching England (and seen a load of JFT96 stickers stuck over Newlands) but you lot seem to be heavily outnumbered by Mancs which I've never worked out.

I'd go:-

Cook
Root
Compton
Pietersen
Bairstow
Patel
Prior
Swann
Anderson
Finn
Panesar

Replace with trott, bell and replace patel with anybody capable of holding a bat

Replace with trott, bell and replace patel with anybody capable of holding a bat

Bell's in England and out of sorts at the moment (see the first innings).

Finn's out so Broad's guaranteed a game, probably pick up a few wickets to buy him enough time in the team for another 6 months or so

...is Nev lost?

 

[Mr Redknapp]

It is an interesting point that has been raised.. Why has cricket bypassed Merseyside?
