The selectors have included 20/20 specialists for this 1, they've actually used their brains :o

Collingwood (C)
Bopara
Broad
Flintoff
Kirtley
Maddy
Pietersen
Prior (W)
Schofield
Shah
Sidebottom
Snape
Solanki
Tremlett
Wright

1 name that I am shocked is there is that of Vikram Solanki, I wouldn't have him down as a specialist, I know he is a big hitter, but not the best.
Kirtley was another 1 which surprised me :S He hasn't been on the international scene in ages, and complained when he wasn't considered earlier, have the selectors given in to pressure?
When you look at the squad, there is a fair few who've had little to no experience in the 20/20 department, the likes of Flintoff, Pietersen, Collingwood... And they'll be going as experienced members of the squad!

1 name I'm quite glad to see off an England sheet is Ian Bell, along with Andrew Strauss; Their recent forms have been below par. (I also believe they should be dropped from the Test squad, or that they will be dropped when other players return.. :))

Thoughts?

lol i've just given up about prior, Nixon is so much better.

If I couldn't choose Nixon then it'd probably be Ambrose.

Prior should be dropped permanently. He is crap and annoying. All he does is moan moan moan.

Glad that Luke Wright's in there. His knock of 125 in the Pro-40 the other night was immense. Highest run scorer in this year's Twenty20 tournament so deserves to go really :)
