Cook, Strauss, trott, kp, bell are defo top five. Then what, prior at six, patella at seven, or will patel replace Monty, a little unfair.

In October ICC ended the mandatory use of DRS and reverted to its pre-June 2010 position.

He can certainly add value with bat and bowl. Patel is still in learning curve however Bopara prooved himselfhttps://community.betfair.com/cricket/go/thread/view/94046/28955625/what-will-be-starting-line-up-first-test-england-v-sri-lanka?post_id=517008131#517008131I would rather Vote for Bopara as compare to Patel.

Patel is still in learning curve however Bopara prooved himselfThu, 01 Mar 2012 00:41:13 -0600Certainly not Patel.He's a decent enough all rounder at one day level but very much a bits and pieces player at test level and not good enough at either discipline to warrant a place in the side.https://community.betfair.com/cricket/go/thread/view/94046/28955625/what-will-be-starting-line-up-first-test-england-v-sri-lanka?post_id=517002903#517002903Certainly not Patel.He's a decent enough all rounder at one day level but very much a bits and pieces player at test level and not good enough at either discipline to warrant a place in the side.Wed, 29 Feb 2012 20:05:48 -0600Patel would be my pick. A third spinning variation to mix things up can make a huge difference in breaking partnerships in the subcontinent. Don't need to be too exotic but the change definitely adds to options. Also the batting is good strong enoughhttps://community.betfair.com/cricket/go/thread/view/94046/28955625/what-will-be-starting-line-up-first-test-england-v-sri-lanka?post_id=516991079#516991079Patel would be my pick.

Broad is the first fast bowler on the list now. Maybe they'll wait for the summer to give Finn a go, it really is a bit of a selection dilemma,https://community.betfair.com/cricket/go/thread/view/94046/28955625/what-will-be-starting-line-up-first-test-england-v-sri-lanka?post_id=516989811#516989811Jimmy did alright in Pakistan, unfair tomsaynhe is ineffective.
