Stunned that Monty is in. Wow.
I agree to an extent, but who else is there as back-up spinner? Treadwell's taken about a dozen 1st class wickets this season. Kerrigan isn't (yet) good enough. Probably next on the list is Ollie Rayner!Stunned that Monty is in. Wow.
We are woefully short of decent spinners.
I agree with Carberry over Compton, mind you. Compton just never convinces me whenever I see him.
Let's hope that this does Monty some good. No Onions, Bresnan or Compton. Is Bresnan injured?
Will they stick with the current batting line up, or put Carberry in to open and put Root at 5/6? Or something else entirely?
Same here, sort of. I'm not sure they had a choice after Kerrigan's failing & Tredwell's gargantuan 14 CC wickets this season. Where else could they go?

Good to see Tramlett in the squad. Extra pace is always important out there.
I'd rather have seen Briggs given the opportunity to progress.
haven't we just had the ashes?

I'm still amazed they still have selectors, can't they just leave it to Cook and Flower
The jury's still out on Bairstow (especially without Yorkshire teammate Bresnan to keep him company down the order).
