I think stewie law would be a good choice for the world cup,he is still performing and adds experience to the team.Face if england get smashed in the one dayers why the hell not.
Read won't make it through the vb series the 36 year old nixon will replace him as read will score no runs.

Logical thinking that Marc, never really thought of it like that.

I'm beginning to wonder if you know someone on the "inside." You've made a lot of sense with your selectorial "theories" lately.

I'm just very cynical - always have been.

He has a lot more potential to be a vital part of a team as an ODI bowler. Even if he becomes or is arguably the best orthodox finger spinner in world cricket he's going to be nothing more than an occasional factor in Test cricket.

What intelligent, well thought out selections. James Anderson, Sajid Mahmood and Liam Plunkett can barely land 2 balls on the same spot yet they are put down in the test and ODI squad as though they've set the world alight in their international careers thus far. Liam Plunkett hasnt played a game since his injury, yet the selectors seem to believe that he'll be ready to maintain his already dismal current ODI record.
What on earth is the point of having Flintoff in the side when he himself claims that he cant put his ankle down without feeling any pain? One can only assume hes in the side for his batting.
and Michael Vaughan who is currently setting the world alight in the Academy is set to resume his brilliant ODI career.

In ODI cricket? Is that a serious comment?

7/8. Nixon/Read + Dalrymple. If Nixon plays Dalrymple will be at Number 8. If Read then Dalrymple At 7.
9. Chris Tremlett
10. Jon Lewis
11. Monty Panesar / Saj Mahmood (Depends on how the selectors are feeling).
