MY SIDE

1.Phil Mustard (wk) (Dur)
2.Andrew Gale (Yor)
3.James Hildreth (Som)
4.Eoin Morgan (Mid)
5.Darren Stevens (Ken)
6.Benny Howell (Glo)
7.Zafar Ansari (Sur)
8.Aaron Lilley (Lan)
9.Jigar Naik (Lei)
10.Toby Roland-jones (Mid)

My early thoughts on a team

Hastings (Dur)
Collingwood (Dur)
Gregory (Som)
Clarke (Wark)
Patel J (Wark)
Rudolph (Glam)
Patel S (Nott)
Bopara (Ess)
Wright (Suss)
Stevens (Ken)
Croft (Lanc)

There is a temptation to include the Big No Show, but whenever I do include him he's hopeless, and when I don't, spectacular

Those early thoughts look similar to mine. Will have a bash at it tomorrow.

Colly (Durham)
Hastings (Durham)
Bops (Essex)
Willey (Northants)
Patel J (Warks)
Patel S (Notts)
Trego (Soms)
Gregory (Soms)
Ryder (Essex)
Kleinveldt (Northants)
Chopra (Warks)

Wanted Will Gidman in the side.

Haven't any clue if any are out on long term injury!

Colly
Mustard
Borthwick
Hastings (All Durham)

Gordon
Hain (Both Warks)

Bairstow (Yorks)
Gregory (Somerset)
Willey (Northants)
Hales (Notts)
Roy (Surrey)

Klinger (Gloucs)
Patel (Warks)
Clarke (Warks)
Sangakkara (Surrey)
Brown (Lancs)
Trogo (Som)
Rudolf (Glam)
Ryder (Essex)
Stoneman (Durham)
Roland-Jones (Middl)
Faulkner (Lancs)

Not long to go before the teams need to be in

not many players thus far.......... which will only help the footman win, with his stellar line up

Jacques Rudolf (Glamorgan)

Jesse Ryder (Essex)
James Hildreth (Somerset)
Luke Wright (Sussex)
Michael Klinger (Gloust)

John Hastings (Durham)
Gary Ballance (Yorkshire)

That'll do.

Chris Nash (Sussex)
Gary Ballance (Yorkshire)
James Taylor (Notts)
Ravi Bopara (Essex)
Peter Trego (Somerset)
Sam Billings (Kent)
Chris Woakes (Warwickshire)
