Hi Neil
I have just read your article about NatWest Series, and I think I will have to disagree with your probable team against Sri Lanka, I think that the team that will start will be
Batsmen
Trescothick - (part-time bowler if required)
Knight
Hussain (c)
Thorpe
Vaughan - (part-time bowler if required)
Stewart (w)
All Rounders
Irani - 4th bowler (where you said Collingwood)
Flintoff - 2nd or 3rd bowler
Bowlers
Giles - 5th bowler
Tudor - 2nd or 3rd bowler
Hoggard - 1st bowler (where you said Kirtley)
Batting goes right down to 10 with only Hoggard being the only weak link, and the team would have 5 out and out bowlers and 2 part-timers.
