International Vice-Captain
Alfonso Thomas - Kinda long in the tooth but still a consistent performer and one of the premier T20 bowlers going around. Can still hold a bat so add a bit of depth to the tail.



and re Wright. Basically forgot him. Gotta be a better player than Stevens who I selected last round. Only problem with Wright is his fitness record and dodgy knees. Really hasn't played consistently for a long time.

I'm at a weird stage in the draft, as I'm still not sure whether I want my overseas player to be a spinner or seamer. Will go for Liam Dawson who not only gives me a spin option, but also gives me a good opening batsman.

I will go for Chris Jordan, although an average career before this year I can't ignore 51 Division 1 wickets this season already and Luke Wells. An improving player who I think really tops off my batting lineup.

1. Alaistar Cook
2. Sam Robson
3. Ashwell Prince
4. James Taylor
5. Luke Wells
6. Craig Kieswetter
7.
8.
9. Chris Jordan
10. Michael Hogan
11.Boyd Rankin

Slight pedantic sidenote but can we edit Gary Ballance's name in the draft standings so it is spelt correctly? I nearly wet myself in excitement when I control + F his name and it didn't come up.

Looks a real good 4 day team. I'd suggest swapping Wells and Prince around. Wells hasn't really batted outside the top 3 and Prince has spent most of his career in the middle order.

Phil Jaques.

Wealth of experience and class even if he is at the wrong end of his career. Edges out a load of younger english opening bats who are still struggling to find consistency.

Jaques
Trott
Stokes
Morgan
Stevens

Thomas

Kerrigan
Finn

Team represents the truly diverse face of english cricket with players being born in Aus, SA(x3), NZ, IRE as well as England.

Yeah that's a good point think I will do that.

40 over team:

1. Craig Kieswetter
2. Alaistar Cook
3. James Taylor
4. Sam Robson (Unsure about this one)
5. Ashwell Prince (He will have a floating role like he did for SA, will come in at 4 if two wickets go down early or hopefully as late as 9 if a platform has been built).
6. Luke Wells (Strongly doubt he makes my final L.O XI)
6.
7.
8.
9. Chris Jordan
10. Michael Hogan
11.Boyd Rankin

Looking quite weak at the moment, but that and T20 are now my focus for later rounds.
