All he has to do is turn up to make a better impression than Mahmood :icon_roll

Which final, it's a best of three final so no one can fluke it, and they can thrash us 3-0

The final is a one off match.

Funny when I wrote that I hadn't read this

"I'd always hoped to see 'caught Nixon bowled Mullally' for England but obviously that didn't happen," Nixon laughed.

"Now I'm looking forward to 'caught Nixon bowled Broad'. That could be just around the corner!"

The aussies do it differently!

I think Webbo means the World Cup final.

Yes, because that's what Glyn was talking about, he gave a bit of a clue when he called it the "WC Final"

I think he may just miss out, hes probably 6th choice fast bowler for ODIs but we'll probably only take 4 or 5

Anderson
Lewis
Plunkett
Tremlett
Mahmood
Broad

Hope Nixon goes, although I still wouldn't be surprised to see Chris Weed called back up.

The squad is a no-brainer for the selectors now (presuming they take the 3 injured players). The starting XI is the only question.

Vaughan
Joyce
Loye
Colly
Strauss
Bell
Pietersen
Flintoff
Nixon
Dalrymple
Panesar
Plunkett
Lewis
Anderson
Mahmood

After what has happened in the past week and the team spirit they have shown, my only change to that would be Broad for Mahmood who I still see as a liability

 

[MHS]

I agree, I think you have got the squad spot on there Glyn.

If only Gough could have got himself fit and gave it one last go. Wouldn't take much to oust Mahmood

He was on Sky Sports News the other day saying he was 100% fit and desperate to play.
He seemed pretty upset that the selectors had declared him unfit when he said he was in "great shape"

Gough's last 10 one-dayers have almost been as bad as Mahmood. Too late for Dazza - the selectors did exactly the right thing.
