In order to drop players you need ALTERNATIVES. So whilst I'd want to drop about 9 of them, we simply CAN'T. Bopara and Broad are the only players who could possibly make way in reality. I'd drop them both.

Trott? 28 and South African, it's not exactly the future, is it?

And if England AREN'T picking with the future in mid why not have the balls to pick the man in form who's home ground it is - Ramprakash.

Bopara HAS to be dropped and I don't think Cook is out of the frame - 1 good score out of 6 is poor.

Just chuckling at Charlton
England have played poorly today no question, but little things make a huge difference Clarke was shown to be caught off Harmison late on but was not given out and they could easily have been 5 down with less than a hundred ahead. Clarke will no doubt get a huge score now and put England out of the game completely, but as i said could have been a lot different

Forget the future and try to win that one match drop Cook and Bopara and beg Trescothick and Ramprekash to make one final test appearance. Then go back to the drawing board during the winter tour.

whole bunch a shambles. seems we dont have anyone capable of actually batting again, we shouldnt have to rely on the talismanic influence of Freddie and Pietersen.

And if England AREN'T picking with the future in mid why not have the balls to pick the man in form who's home ground it is - Ramprakash.

Because he's proven time and time again that he is NOT international class. He's in the same mould as Hick - fine racking up the runs against county attacks, but can't cut it when the pressure is on in the test arena.
