Don't care, just hope Fisher has come through enough to be involved.

The better question for England fans would be 'predict which no-hoper will be panic drafted into the XI 20 minutes before the first match.'

Bopara, obviously.

 

[WalkingWicket]

England XV:

1. Vince
2. Roy
3. Taylor
4. Root*
5. Buttler (wk)
6. Stokes
7. Morgan (dropped to 7 to slap the ball about in the last 5 overs. No pressure there, hopefully)
8. Woakes
9. Probably Broad, hopefully Mills or Topley, provided they get decent.
10. Anderson (Because it's in England we'll keep him in cotton wool until 2019)
11. [Latest out of the county fast-bowling machine]

12. Billings (wk)
13. Bell (oh god)
14. [Fast bowler]
15. Riley/Kerrigan/Parry/some county pie-chucker

I don't know much about our U19 set-up, but out of all of them I'd put Rhodes, Finch or Fisher top of the list.

For BD I predict the exact same 15 ad this year, except with Mortaza out and some young quick in. It's feasible that Sohag Gazi could be back in the mix for one of Taijul/Arafat, and that Sabbir Rahman could be replaced by some other young hitter.

Nah Shabbir will stay. Zubair, the new leggie, might get a gig. I am guessing Mustafizur, promising young quickie, to come up the ranks. Litton may take opening spot for Tamim because at this rate, he's going to get dropped very soon.

WC 2019

1. Anamul
2. Litton
3. Soumya
4. Mullah
5. Mushy
6. Shak
7. Shabbir
8. Mustafizur/Abu Haider
9. Zubair
10. Rubel
11. Taskin

Surely you'll find a better option than Finch as an opener by then & the same goes for Khawaja at 4.

Finch has been great, but gets found out against the better bowling teams, so maybe...

Khawaja has been epic in the domestic one day comp, deserves a shot imo.

 

[SkyBlue]

Build the team around Rahane and Kohli.I think they are two of our most reliable players.Would like to see Rohit drafted down to the middle order since they are some very good opening batsmen coming up for India like Samson and Karun Nair.We all know Samson is pretty explosive but Karun is a very fluent strokemaker and if he keeps improving,could be a good shout to make both India's ODI and Test squad in the near future.He might already be in consideration for making the test team considering Dhawan's poor showing.

My great hope would be to see a bowling all-rounder to emerge,someone in the mould of Pathan circa 2005/2006.

The South African team could be an interesting one by the time the next WC comes around.

By then,Amla will be 36,AB-35,FAF-35,Steyn-35,Morkel-34,Duminy-35,Tahir-40.Essentially the spine of the team.How many from this bunch do you guys think will make the next WC ?

R Sharma
A Rahane
U Chand
V Kohli
V Zol
M Dhoni
R Jadeja
R Ashwin
M Shami
U Yadav
V Aaron

I Sharma / M Sharma
P Ojha
S Samson
S Raina (Because IPL performances will always keep him in contention for an ODI spot. Will be dropped after failing early though hopefully.)

Pace bowling attack is also a lottery. Shami should be there but the rest depend on form/injury. No one out of those is as good, dependable or consistent as Shami. Could be a completely new attack or the resurgence of Irfan Pathan!

Babar is an opener.

Ah didn't actually see you had done it in batting order, my bad.
