Well; we have got the squad announced now but are we taking the right players?
In case you haven't seen the 15 they are;
Vaughan
Flintoff
Panesar
Collingwood
Bell
Nixon
Bopara
Anderson
Pietersen
Strauss
Dalrymple
Plunkett
Joyce
Mahmood
Lewis

Not sure about the wisdom of taking only 1 stumper and I would've plumped for Mal Loye over Bopara. I am dubious about Jimmy Anderson too,granted he's a local lad and a lovely bloke too but he seems to pick up injuries for fun. The rest of the squad are no doubt all on a high after the last 3 victories; let's hope Colly continues his rich vein of form and that Bell and Strauss find some consistency ! We may give it to the Aussies yet again! (please please please !!)
