Probably the team with the best chance of doing anything half decent in the tournament.

i'd have cook opening, vaughn at three and leave out dalrymple

the seamers are much of a muchness really, i cant see one as a standout

Cook for Bell, and draft in Broad?

I'm not sure I'd push Monty in for the slog.

Flintoff is far and away our best ODI seamer. Despite being crap in Tests, Anderson has an excellent record in ODI's. Lewis can usually be relied on for 1-40 off 10.

I quite like Dalrymple. Seems a good competitor, and his off spin is improving rapidly. 2 years ago he was being talked about as a potential England player purely because of his batting. Now he's probably our second best spinner after Panesar.

England need their best side...
