...until the first test, so who would you select?

Vaughan looks likely to miss the first test.

Hmmm.....great stuff, I want a break from football.  Its the natural rhythm of the year like the seasons.

    I would like to see Adil Rashid fast tracked into the Test side....don't suppose it will happen yet, but I think an attacking wrist spinner who can bat has to be the sort of player we badly need.

You've just described Chris Schofield perfectly, let's not ruin another one

I think Monty at test level is more proven ... even if his batting is poor

   Its a fair point, would Schofield have made it though if he' d have been left to play county cricket?  I doubt it.....OK Rashid probably needs a couple of years, but I've never seen England have a really top quality leggie, and it would be such a help.

Hopefully my work will be running a Cricket trip this summer like they do every year, it usually ends up being one big piss up which sounds good to me. 8)
