side for final

if they want any chance of winning it then england have got to drop trott for the CT final. time after time he takes up valuable overs at the crease, scoring 50, 60, 70 at a miserly rate like he did today, when others could be throwing the bat at everything and knocking a rapid fire 20 before getting bowled or caught.

england seem to have learned nothing over the years, wasting time building partnerships and amassing a reasonable total when they should be packing the side with big hitters who will thrill the crowds with the occasional quick fire forty once every dozen or so innings. I felt completely cheated of the opportunity to see another buttler half dozen because of trott's refusal to get out. selfish, slow, boring and seems to have no idea that the one day game is there simply to please the fans who turn up to pay their hard earned cash once every eight years or so.

and while the so called selectors are at it, about time they ditched jimmy anderson, who is quite useless with the bat. when did he ever get a rapid fifty to save the day like the south african tail did today? in fact, I wouldn't even bother with specialist bowlers as nobody is that interested in the bowling part of ODIs anyway. which means bresnan's position is safe.

i'd like to see the following side for the final:

luke wright
prior
bopara
morgan
buttler
kieswetter
napier
trego
bresnan
root
KP

i'm sure all of my fellow cricket fans who only watch or talk about the sport once every 4 years when there's a world cup on sky will agree.

This is my problem with Trott.

He should not be permanent at #3. If Cooke is first out, then yes, Trott goes in at # 3.

If Bell is out first, then Root needs to be next in, to keep the scoreboard moving along, and so forth.

Haha claiming that regardless or where you were born, you are still Indian, and then claiming that Trott, KP etc. have no right to play for England is such a contradiction.

Trott is a very good batsmen and his strike rate of 77 isn't too bad. Anderson is also a world class bowler. So OP I think you're a little deluded.
