I'd put the captain back in in place of Mahmood, Ali will get carted and should not play ahead of Hoggy, and Jones out-performed Solanki with the bat in the third game. I don't know why Prior necessarily deserves to be in ahead of Jones either.

I don't understand why Solanki would captain. Collingwood would seem a better prospect to me if you seem to want to rest Flintoff.

All in all I have little optimism about this game, but maybe some freak event like Shah or Blackwell making it past 10 will happen and we'll compete. Not saying anything about winning or not...
