Personally, Jesse Ryder and Ross Taylor look to be the best young batsmen I've seen in recent times. I'm a big fan. They look to be as good, if not better, than Alastair Cook to my mind.

My initial thoughts based on the teams above (ignoring the current England A selection process)

Phil Jaques
Hashim Amla
Ross Taylor
Jesse Ryder
Dominic Thornley
Runako Morton
Brad Haddin
Yassir Arafat
Jeetan Patel
Jerome Taylor
Mohammad Asif
Dale Steyn

Question marks to my mind would be over Runako Morton, Dale Steyn and Yassir Arafat. Could bring in Hafeez for Morton?
