Monty should play he's class and provides control,i see no reason in spring conditions to play too many seamers seeing as hoggard,plunkett and harmi will most likely do most the damage.Also last season the same thing was said and monty extracted good bounce from the wicket and took a five for for,actually think he bowls well on fresh wickets.Also hope shah plays if freddie isn't picked and we don't go for anderson.
