Ed Joyce (28, Middlesex),
Ian Bell (24, Warwickshire),
Kevin Pietersen (26, Hampshire),
Andrew Strauss (29, Middlesex),
Paul Collingwood (30, Durham),

Liam Plunkett (21, Durham),
James Anderson (24, Lancashire),
Sajid Mahmood (25, Lancashire),
Jon Lewis (31, Gloucestershire),

No Mal Loye, didnt do enough over the tri series thing.
One W/K in Nixon, Strauss or Joyce can cover that.
Vaughen as captain. (Great)
KP back in squad.
Ravi Bopara is a good inclusion imo
Thought they would of included Broad!
Thoughts campers??

Not surprised that Harmisson or Giles didnt make it.0

Thats the spirit Ketman , why the fuck are we even bothering
We've only just beaten the Aussies 3 times in their own back yard as well
Lets send the womens team instead0 -

Most of them strolled over like they couldn't be ar*ed (sounds familiar?). Nixon got there, and eventually got up on the wall. Fair play. Had his shades nicked for his troubles....0 -

Harmy gets homesick walking to the paper shop!
Pretty much as expected really. I may have been tempted to include Gough instead of one of Lewis or Mahmood (probably Lewis as Mahmood is the better batter) but otherwise they're going with the form players.0 -
Seems about the right choice.
MCS is right - in one-day cricket anything can happen
you just need two bats to make a score (Pietersen and Colly or Flintoff) and two bowlers to be red-hot (Flintoff and Monty) and you're with a chance
We beat the Aussies three times on the spin with half of them not actually contributing anything (Strauss and Lowe in particular spring to mind) and NIxon didn't get any runs though he is in the team for his sledging so presumably his efforts were up to scratch and gave the Aussies something to think about0 -
looks a weak bowling line up to me, particularly if it doesn't seam.
i'd keep your money in your pocket if i was you.0 -
Harmison has retired from the one-dayers. Mal Loye had his chance in Australia but didn't do enough.
Apart from injuries to KP, Lewis and Vaughan it looks ok. I think success will be getting to the semis.0
