    Yeah he was definitely the pick of the bowlers for me. All the others, except Yardy, had good games too. Roll on Bangladesh i say. Looking forward to it now! :)

    Yardy needs dropping he ain't good enough, would rather have Collingwood in the team.

    My team would be:

    Strauss
    Pietersen
    Trott
    Bell
    Bopara
    Prior
    Bresnan
    Broad
    Swann
    Rashid
    Anderson

    Don't know why Rashid was overlooked, theres an argument for Shazad instead of Jimmy on current form, much as I love Jimmy he's not the best with the white ball, two important wickets today mind!

    I'm not a big fan of Yardy, but i can understand why they want a second established spinner. I'd keep him in for the mo but I think he has to improve if he wants to keep his place.

    Donkey, I've seen Collingwood bowl an effective type if spin before, not to mention his fielding, as for Rashid he should be in the squad, and will be in the team in the next year.

    Couldn't agree more re Rashid. He should be in the team now in place of Yardy but as stated it is unbelievable he's not even in the squad.

    As for Collingwood. I'm thinking they might have dropped him as a warning to buck up his ideas because he's been under performing with the bat in recent months. If Yardy has another bad game i'm thinking he will be back in. And hopefully rejuvinated.

    I'm not a big fan of Yardy, een though I am in Sussex and watch them play, he's not England material imo.

    Nor me. I think we have several players who should be ahead of him in the pecking order; Rashid, Wright, Collingwood and Shazad just for starters.

    Kevin Pietersen has been ruled out of the rest of England's World Cup campaign because his hernia problem is more serious than first thought.
    The 30-year-old opener will be replaced by Middlesex batsman Eoin Morgan.

    I don't think we should play with this side it has too big of a tail
    we lack a genuine all rounder and a big hitter if pietersen opens (I know he's out of the tournament
    Now i'd go
    Bell
    Strauss
    Trott
    Morgan
    Bopara
    hildreth/ Taylor (Played with him for shropshire, Quality lad)
    Kieswetter
    Bresnan
    Swann
    Broad
    Anderson

    For a start, Hildreth and Kieswetter aren't in the squad.
    Also, Yardy is terrible.

    Get Shazhad in for Broad. Team for remainder of tour:

    Strauss
    Bell
    Trott
    Bopara
    Morgan
    Prior
    Bresnan
    Shazhad
    Swann
    Yardy
    Anderson

    We need Yardy in there now as we have no second spin option with KP gone. Shame really coz he's gash.

    Could always call up a spinner to the squad, with a replacement to the squad for Broad being allowed.
