Broad's economy would be 8.18 if he didn't bowl that over for 36 runs.

Broad (7 votes)
Pietersen (8)
Morgan (9)
Buttler (8)
Wright (4)
Hales (3)
Samit (3)

these are the players who would have made our squad for the WT20

Wright and Hales have suddenly seen their stock fall. KP and Samit suddenly look much better players by virtue of not having been involved in the 3-0 shambles down under.

Broad still looks good
Morgan and Buttler suffered at the hands of their seemingly over-reckless top order, but ought to still be in the side.

Bresnan ought to make the cut, I think, as one of England's better performers. Not that that says much, really, given that being able to stand upright without falling over would make any player one of England's better performers.

I haven't got a clue any more.

I'm hoping that the WI series will shed some better light on things

Ashley Giles, eh?

fancy wanting to be put in charge of that *modded* shower

Im sure Bresnan will go, the selectors love him!!

No KP?

Parry?

A couple of surprises.

Sorry, full squad to follow.

World Twenty20 squad: Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire, captain), Eoin Morgan (Middlesex, vice-captain), Moeen Ali (Worcestershire), Ravi Bopara (Essex), Tim Bresnan (Yorkshire), Jos Buttler (Lancashire), Jade Dernbach (Surrey), Alex Hales (Nottinghamshire), Chris Jordan (Sussex), Michael Lumb (Nottinghamshire), Stephen Parry (Lancashire), Joe Root (Yorkshire), Ben Stokes (Durham), James Tredwell (Kent), Luke Wright (Sussex)

Cheers

Buttler
Morgan
Bresnan

My three are in!

I'd go with a final XI of: Hales, Wright, Moeen, Morgan, Root, Buttler, Bopara, Bresnan, Broad, Jordan, Tredwell.

They've still picked Dernbach

they must think that he'll be a trickier proposition in Bang, than he was in Aus

they might be right, of course. the Aus series must have been, by some margin, his worst showing for England in T20.

He'll have to perform impressively in WI, to have any hope of selection in Bang, I would have thought.

My three made it!

So Briggs has now firmly pushed himself out the selection process....not a suprise, every time ive seen him play for england he's gone the distance!
