Well the batting is fairly decent, and I have to agree regarding Strauss lacking form to the same extent as Vaughan.

The bowling has been very "moderate" but with Jones the bowler coming back to fitness and Harmison appearing to have found some form we are probably looking at Hoggy, Harmison, Jones/Anderson (Jones fitness depending) along with freddy and monty.

So only the Keeper is very much up for grabs.

Cook
Vaughan * (I wouldn't but I don't get to make the selection)
Bell
Peiterson
Collingwood
Flintoff
<Keeper>
Jones/Anderson/Plunkett
Hoggard
Harmison
Panesar

I include Plunkett because he can actually bat a bit.
Keeps the up and coming Bopara, Mahmood, Broad and Rashid in the county scene for a year or two until they get a bit more experience under the belt.
