Or the other alternative is have Bell in for Plunkett. Gives them and extra batsmen a less longer tail. With that alternative depending on if Flintoff is fit then you would have 3 pacemen and a spin bowler. Plus the PT off-spin of Peiterson and the PT medium pace of Bell or Collingwood.

No man it's a genuine opinion! Both Cook and Bell are good young players but Bell has really done well against PAK while Cook's century was very shaky.

I personally don't see the point of playing a fifth bowler if he's absolute s%$t. Why not play the extra batsman and accomodate Chris Read at 8?
