In his ODI and 20/20 matches he looks jittery compared to the relaxed up and at em lad for Somerset. Maybe it is the water down there as Compo looks nervy for England too.
They ALWAYS want Prior to play.Botham wants Prior and Bairstow picked

He also wants to pick a team in which 10 overs minimum must be bowled by a combination of Root and Trott.Botham wants Prior and Bairstow picked

Crazy that Mitch M is basically the outstanding bowler of the game but has really bowled 78mph crap all over the show

Buttler's done well in T20Is :/

Well Botham and Willis were calling for Buttler for test cricket not long ago. Wish he'd make his mind up.Botham wants Prior and Bairstow picked
I'm happy to let Prior stay as a test player only. If Buttler gets a run so be it but he needs to improve both with bat and gloves.

Yeah, that's not anywhere near as bad an idea in comparison though. Especially when you consider where we're getting most of overs from at the moment (Woakes/Jade)

Would actually support Trego for England especially ahead of Dernbach.

Calm down, son!
Buttler might not have done brilliantly so far, but he deserves a proper run in the side. Once he gets going, he's so explosive. Caught the highlights of the CB40 2011 final the other night, and that was one hell of an innings. Could consider Prior, but given the amount of times he's failed in ODi's, and the fact he's only played 4 List A's in the last 2 years just makes me think we might as well stick with Buttler for a while.
Hope the selectors tell Sir Ian to STFU. His team sounded awful. Should really go with:
Cook
Trott
Pietersen
Morgan
Root
Buttler
Trego
Broad
Swann
Anderson
Finn
Sorted.

A fantastic batsman has become a figure of contempt and ridicule for no coherent reason. That is a reason to be angrySee - you just cbf enjoying wins. You're looking for any excuse to be angry at something
I'm just fighting for truth and justice like always bro

leave him for hit and giggle then and pick a proper player and a better keeper in ODI's.

Bopara to play and bat 11 IMO. Batting 11 completely on principle and to let everyone know he's only playing because he's a better bowler than Jade, and not because someone's been fooled into thinking he can bat. Again.

We know he's capable of bowling with some decent heat. Hit mid-140s in the home series against England, touched 140 occasionally in South Africa. Just needs to get through some work.

Only fools who think he can bat are the Essex lot in charge of England.

In terms of pace he seems to be more likely to bowl 125kph than 140kph most of the time. Rhythm is all over the place and his faster stuff is really just the same speed as the faster stuff of Boult/Bracewell/Southee.
However he seems to be effective so far...I'm just not really sure why, in the absence of pace, and hence I'm not really confident that it will continue.
