Its a 16 man squad,so we've got 11 straight away,the mighty ashes winners  ,its just the rest. Colly will go,its between jimmy and tremlett for the fast bowlers,has to be jimmy.Chris Read to go because he is a wicket keeper that can keep wicket :shock:.Not sure about batsmen,but one out of Key and Shah are the favourites to go.Then the spinners, Batty is the man in posession of the sub- spinner spot[unlucky sod],but others who have been mentioned are louden and swann.I'd like louden to go,not that i know anything about it ,but beefy said on sky that he was good and that is good enough for me. |

Loudon is a toff....Old Etonian type.....apparently he can bowl a doosra. Swann is talented, but doen't like hard work. Smeeton had 3-16 yesterday.....bowling off breaks, and could come into the frame. |

Loudon can bowl a doosra of sorts. It's not that impressive but at least he doesn't chuck like almost every other player who bowls one does. Loudon's a quality bat but his bowling is not up to standard yet.
I can't really understand the selection of Udal. I know he's had an excellent year but I'm not convinced he's anywhere near international quality.
Looking forward to seeing Liam Plunkett in the one-dayers.

Weve been going forward for years so why bring in 36 year old Udal?. I hope he proves me wrong.  |

With the selection of the 36year old udal,that isn't such a crazy idea .Fair enough he's had a great summer,but he's too old,it seems a bit pointless. |

I think its fair enough to take Udal, as he's probably the best we've got at the moment and Loudon is there to learn...after all with slow bowling, along with more stiffness than Sussex red on a Brighton nudist beach, advancing years brings guile and craft. |

He's a batting all-rounder who bowls off-spin
