I think I'd prefer Vaughan, as he's been away from the team long enough. Interesting to see KP score 170 yesterday, albeit against weak oppostions. Never the less that gives an indication of his focus.

There is a lot of pressure on the Windies series. It's everything to lose really, because they are not a strong side and we should win.

If Vaughan is successful then it's the end of the road for Moores. Vaughan does not rate him at all and has been very critical of him in the past.

[PaulWinch again]

He rates him as a youth development coach and thinks he'd be very good in a different role.

So we're batting first. Trott opens, Stokes at 6 and Tredwell instead of Rashid. The latter choice seems to sum up English cricket nicely. Tredwell is perfectly steady and decent in ODIs, but he struggles to get in his county side of 4 day cricket. But England pick him, because he's solid rather than going for a guy who will take wickets..

I agree Paul, we are looking like we bat along way down and surprised Adil was not picked....let's just get a good start from Cook and Trott .

"If Tredwell can play for England then so can I".

FFS what a meaningless selection.

[PaulWinch again]

I would have liked to see Plunkett or Wood get a chance as well. I'm not unhappy to see Stokes in, if he's got his form back.

[Chris Jameson]

Can Yorkshire have Rashid and Plunkett back please if they're not going to play them? Ta.

Trott's comeback was ended in 3 balls. Very disappointing.

[PaulWinch again]

Well that's a pretty disastrous start to Trotty's return.

ffs....that should of been two down....

I've got TMS on and Aggers reckons that it didn't carry. For some reason they don't have a TV monitor to confirm, so are Sky saying otherwise?

It is totally pointless in every meaning of the word. Even if he does well he won't stay in the team.
