Prior is the best pick being that Read won't be picked, with respect Rachael sounds like you are willing to settle for second best with Foster - who unless I am mistaken does not have as good a stats keeping than Prior thus far this season.

In any case if Prior is that bad - then the selectors might see the error of their ways, and bring back Read.

G O Jones would have been a better selection for that reason.

As for the rest of the side - they may beat the West Indies, but if this is the best side England have to offer, they can forget the Ashes in 2009.

Picking an out of form player as captain is ludicrous.
