Strauss's nearly-men have work to do 1:55pm on 11 Mar 2009 This article was a really good read.

In the tests after the shambles at Sabina Park we showed that we having the batting capacity to put runs on the board especially after the summer and the tour to India.

What I can't understand is that people tend to forget Plunkett. Now he is exactly the same as anderson but better with the bat, I mean there were numerous times I saw in the county championship where he got runs batting at 8/9. When we won the ashes in 2005 we had two seamers that used height and bounce Harmison and Flintoff and we used two seamers that swung it in Jones and Hoggard. I think if we were to have Broad Plunkett and Anderson give them the tests in May to gel, all three can bat aswell and have Flintoff and Swann Playing either side of Prior or hopefully foster as his glove work is better than Priors.

At number three Shah had his chance so did Bell, I think we should have someone like Key or Sayers in there just to see us through patchy spells as they play moderately and can also be aggressive when needs be. I personally think we shouldn't have collingwood in the test side and keep him fresher for ODI's when he can play like he has done in the test series.

My Personal XI

Strauss (C)
Cook
Sayers
Peitersen
Bell
Flintoff
Foster (WK)
Swann
Broad
Plunkett
Anderson
