I've heard a rumour

Question - do they usually take 2 keepers to the World Cup?

Isn't Matt Prior a wicketkeeper but in the one-day series last year in India and Pakistan, he was an opener and Jones was keeping?

I don't mind Tremlett to be honest because his role is similar to Broad, a quick pacemen who can get the odd decent innings.

No there isn't. I know the selectors said that they usually have Trescothick as back up so they needed another keeper, but I think thats rubbish. The fact that theres two keepers in the squad tells me that there is a great divide in the england selection camp.

It seems that Fletcher has finally realised that Jones is useless though which can only be a good thing. Although that saying Read's dismissal today was as bad as any Jones dismissal!
