In fairness to Kieswetter it was the ball just died.

I'm not sure about Cook at all.

I never have been and never will..........

Same here.

He shouldn't be in the one day squad let alone be captain. Bell or Swann as captain for me and FFS get rid of Kieswetter!

Terrible batting display. Really really awful. We need some serious work at our one day game.

Players I would definitely keep after this series are Pietersen, Bres, Swann, Finn(I do rate him). That's all the ones I would definitely keep, then you add Morgan and Broad. The 5 places are up for grabs. I'd probably give Bairstow a run to see what he can do.

Mine are Trott, Bres, Swanny, Finn, Bell as captain, Bairstow as keeper and as u say Morgan, Broad

I think Pietersen has got enough runs in the series to be worth a place.

Finn is the one shining light, he is going to be world class.

Whilst I don't necessarily like to see poor sportsmanship Finn's in your face reaction to Raina is no worse than Kumar to Kieswetter the other day. I like seeing Finn fired up, quality bowler.
