We'd get trounced with that ODI side.

Giles is actually all right in the ODIs, because he can keep it tight.

No KP or Strauss? That suprises me, looking at their track records.

England - One Day (Main Role/Secondary Role)

1. M Trescothick (Bat)
2. A Strauss (Bat)
3. M Vaughn (Bat/Bowl)
4. P Collingwood (Bat/Bowl)
5. K Pietersen (Bat)
6. A Flintoff (Bowl/Bat)
7. V Solanki (Bat)
8. I Bell (Bat/Bowl)
9. G Jones (Wicket/Bat)
10. M. Hoggard (Bowl)
11. S. Harmisson (Bowl)

Sorry, youve gotta be kidding. 3 main bowlers with Collingwood and Vaughan backing up. We'd lose to Bangladesh with that side.

ENGLAND TEST TEAM:
Marcus Trescothick (VC)
Michael Vaughan (C)
Andrews Strauss
Ian Bell
Ed Joyce
Freddie Flintoff
Geraint Jones
Ashley Giles
Simon Jones
Steven Harmison
Matthew Hoggard (He's a crap batsman.)

You've got play Giles. He bowls tightly and can get wickets, he also Bats well and is a good fielder at Gully. A second all-rounder really .

 

[britishchampion]

i have no doubt that Gilo is a great player however i believe that we could add more power to the batting without comprimising the bowling too much.

Jefferson and Irani?

Good players, Irani has had his chance and isn't fit enough.

Strauss has been one of the reason of our success over the last 2 years.

1,700 runs in 5 series, before the Pakistan series.

(SA away, NZ, WI, Bangladesh and Aus at home)

Didn't play in WIndies iirc

Jefferson and Irani?

Good players, Irani has had his chance and isn't fit enough.

Irani can't even bowl any more either!

[ZoraxDoom]

Hmm...

My Ideal Bangladesh XI:

Javed Omar (BAT)
S.Nafees (BAT)
H.Bashar (Bat)
M.Ashraful (BAT)
Tushar Imran/M.Rahim (BAT) - Rahim is also a part time keeper
Aftab Ahmed (BAT/BOWL)
Mushfiqur Rahman (BAT/BOWL)
K.Masud (WKT/BAT)
M.Islam Rana (BOWL/BAT)
M.Mortaza (BOWL/BAT)
M.Rafique (BOWL/BAT)

Good long batting order, with Rafique having a test hundred. They also have 5 good bowlers, with Ashraful a useful 6th bowler.
