Interesting points. But I cannot pick Rashid or Smith. I can't possibly vote for guys that I've never seen play. Stuart Broad is bloody lucky that I got to watch some of the ODIs on the gogglebox over here - but Smith and Rashid I've not seen a jot of!

I also don't think Rikki "Don't lose that number" Clarke should be anywhere near this side. He looked woeful with bat and ball in the ODIs he played.

Also, no need for James Middlebrook if Dalrymple's going to play. He might get a run out in a One Day specialist WAT A side though
