I had no idea they had made the floodlights permanent at Edgbaston, I see the local residents are not happy but they don't look that bad.

Morgan out of World Cup, is a big blow. But I think Bopara is a potential match winner.

I don't. They're fucked. Come on Anyone But Australia! Can the Bears make a bid for Gayle if the Indians don't want him please?

[TheTimVilla]

Bopara might give the side more balance, certainly he's capable of taking a wicket.

You could finish up with:

Strauss
Prior
Trott
KP
Bell
Bopara
Yardy
Wright
Swann
Broad
Anderson

although I've a feeling Yardy might miss out in favour of another quick.

[PaulWinch again]

I agree with Bopara coming in for Collingwood, although I'd have Broad for Wright. Also I like Prior being in the team, but not an opener. However we don't appear to have much choice!

Glos have signed Murali for the domestic T20 for the next two seasons

Limped to warm up win over Canada, not great. But well done Broad.

I saw some great pics of the new edgbaston when I was back home, should be fantastic when it is finished!
