Right, here's my team at the moment - it'll probably change very quickly after some discussion but then thats the point isn't it.

1. JL Denly (Kent) - okay, I've put my reservations aside for a minute here. He did play a few games in 2006 as well (and hit a couple of fifties), and has had a superb breakthrough season this year. Is also a handy leg-spinner, who can claim Warne himself as one of his victims.
2. PJ Horton (Lancashire) - classy batsman, and very solid. Whilst Lancashire's top order often crumbled, Horton was the only one to put up a hesistance on most occasions. Dependable.
3. MA Carberry (Hampshire) - I was always annoyed at the lack of opportunities he got at Kent. Now at Hampshire, he's making the most of it.
4. OA Shah (Middlesex) - 'nuff said. Solid run-machine, as ever.
5. RS Bopara (Essex) - again, 'nuff said. Already has ODI honours, should break into the Test side soon, I'd have thought.
6. AU Rashid (Yorkshire) - Batting all-rounder. Willing to overlook the poor bowling average owing to the fact that this season has been exceptionally bad for spin bowlers.
7. JS Foster / TR Ambrose - keeper. Not fussed which.
8. SCJ Broad (Leicestershire) - future England hope, useful with the bat makes him the obvious number eight.
9. K Ali (Worcestershire) - Much as I hate the idea... he has had a good year.
10. CE Shreck (Nottinghamshire) - Couple of good seasons of late for him.
11. G Onions (Durham) - Sharp bowler, could be another England bowler from the Durham stables.
