collingwood new odi captain / odi squad

[sonic youth]

i think colly was the right choice, an experienced player and a decent all-rounder in the one day game.

no vaughan or strauss and broad, mascherenhas, shah, trott and yardy come into the squad as well...

1. Paul Collingwood (Durham) (Captain)
2. James Anderson (Lancashire)
3. Ian Bell (Warwickshire)
4. Stuart Broad (Leicestershire)
5. Alastair Cook (Essex)
6. Dimitri Mascarenhas (Hampshire)
7. Monty Panesar (Northamptonshire)
8. Kevin Pietersen (Hampshire)
9. Liam Plunkett (Durham)
10. Matt Prior (Sussex)
11. Owais Shah (Middlesex)
12. Ryan Sidebottom (Nottinghamshire)
13. Jonathan Trott (Warwickshire)
14. Michael Yardy (Sussex)

seen mascharenhas play for hampshire a few times this summer and looks a decent enough player. it's nice to see moores willing to pick county journeymen.

yes the Hampshire bloke (can't spell his name) is a decent one day player. im happy with Colly being named captain as well. and also pleased to see Broad in the squad

[Samdy Gray]

I think that's a decent looking squad, not too sure about Owais Shah though.

[Scot Munroe]

Jonathan Trott quality player. Averages 88 in FPT this season.

Dimi Mascarenhas is hardly a journeyman - he's only ever played for Hants since coming over from Oz about 8 or 9 years ago.

Interesting that the media have been focussing on his bowling - he's a genuine allrounder and big hitter with the bat. Deserves his chance and it's long overdue. V popular down at Hants, unlike a certain Mr K Pietersen

My main concern with that squad is the lack of leadership and experience once you take out Vaughan, Strauss, Trescothick and Flintoff - but we'll have to wait and see

journeyman was the wrong word really but i couldn't be arsed to think of anything else.

[lebowski]

I think that's a decent looking squad, not too sure about Owais Shah though.

behave, owais shah has been playing very well the last few years and is a genuine option at number 3!

I think that's a decent looking squad, not too sure about Owais Shah though.

I take that back  

Shah was brilliant yesterday, saved us the match.
