Squad for this summer's international season:
M Vaughan, J Anderson, I Bell, R Bopara, S Broad, P Collingwood, A Cook, J Dalrymple, A Flintoff, S Harmison, M Hoggard, S Jones, E Joyce, J Lewis, S Mahmood, P Nixon, G Onions, M Panesar, K Pietersen, L Plunkett, M Prior, O Shah, A Strauss, M Trescothick, M Yardy.



So, what do you reckon? What pointers should we take from this, and Moores' comments since he was appointed?

Who hasn't been selected that you would've like to have been? And who has been, though you'd much rather they were not?

Any problem with Vaughan continuing on as Captain for the Test side?

You know, that sort of thing. :)
 
Apart from the inclusions of yardy and darymple who are bits and pieces and not good enough either way for test level and mahmood who should spend a season with lancs learning how to bowl 5-6 good balls an over and maybe plunkett likewise that's quite a predictable line up.Nixon why is he there what are we gonna learn by playing a stop gap 36 year old keeper when it is time to play someone younger who could benefit the team in the long run such as davies,foster for example even prior should be picked for a start.Other wise there seems to not be enough talent coming through or over untried options.
