    ***Official*** England in India

    Well I think the selectors have got it wrong, so I will criticise them!

    ***Official*** England in India

    I am not being obtuse. Monty is clearly a better bowler than Patel. This wicket needs to spinners, Monty is our second best spinner and should be playing. Patel is a poor batsman and I'd rather see youth get a chance with Bairstow who has done well when used recently and is the future.

    I was. I also said I would have a four man attack with two spinners and two pace options and a proper 6, not Patel. One has 143 wickets, the other has 3. I know which one I'd rather in my side!

    ***Official*** England in India

    It is not hindsight, if I said it should have happened before hand. But Cook and Flower after seeing the pitch close up before the match not to select him is an even worse decision. The pitch was creating foot marks straight away. I would have played Monty instead of Broad. Bresnan can...

    Looks like I was right about Monty.

    Looking at the pitch it is even more ridiculous Monty isn't playing ahead of Patel / another bowler. There is already marks from where the bowlers are landing.

    Ian Sea won the group. Jairzinho and Stu Monty were runners up!

    No one has criticised Patel in the field for what I have read on here. It is his batting and bowling that's the issue!

    Certainly looking forward to seeing how the batting gets on, especially Compton as debutant. Be interesting to see the leadership from Cook as captain, as it is going to be a tough series. Obviously see how the team react with KP, although I think that will be fine. Swann is due a big series...

    That makes more sense.

    I have never seen Quiney, but I'd have him over Warner.

    ***Official*** England in India

    Well everyone bats, but I'd call him an all rounder as his batting average isn't anything to write home about. He shouldn't do!

    ***Official*** South Africa in Australia 2012

    WTF? That's crazy! I thought Watson was injured and that is why he wasn't selected?

    ***Official*** England in India

    Not a good one. He is a poor all round. Poor at batting and bowling.

    ***Official*** England in India

    I'm amazed people are happy with Patel at six. He's not a batsman!

    That's what I thought.

    ***Official*** England in India

    Because he is a **** batsman! He is a poor batsman and poor spinner - not a great combination for an England player.

    What's that? Or who is that?

    Agreed.

    You're probably right, I think it should be the question though. I saw on the bbc today 'The Wall' agreed with me, Monty over Patel!
