Taking a big risk on Leach. Even missing just one match for international duty would be him out for 20% of the time. I might yet change that. Can't find any info on whether Jeetan is available.

Leach not being in tomorrow's squad helps me make my decision. He's out.

Next decision is Virdi or Crane. I'm going to regret this, but please replace Leach with Crane.

I'll set this up later

I fancied picking a non Irish Murtagh again, but he didn't feature in the warm ups and I thought perhaps he might be stuck in SA so I went for Finn instead. Naturally Finn isn't playing today but Murtagh is

hey ho

No ZBGB or TRJ for me.

And picking Livingstone and Vince will prove to be a big bloody mistake. Not like they can nip off and play a match once released by England.

May I presume that Cook is Sir Alistair and not Sam?

I'm going to assume Sir Steely unless I hear otherwise

You would be correct. Even though I do really like Sam, and came very close to picking him.

(That Essex bowling attack attack, even minus Siddle, has to make them big favourites for the crown.)
