Given some of the selections I've seen it certainly isn't the worst squad I've ever seen. There are only four names I would say are genuinely idiotic selections, Wharf - age, ability, form its like Ian Austin all over again, McGrath - picked as an all-rounder and can't bowl, could only score runs against Zimbabwe, if they want a bit part seamer who can bat go for one with a bit of potential, ie Gidman, Bell, and forget about some fat, balding diddy, Key - if your fat you don't play for your country, Flintoff now looks like Foreman when he was whipping Frazier, Key looks like Foreman when he was selling grills, Gough - GET RID OF THE FAT LADS!!!!!

18 months ago Shah was a regular in the ODI squad, what the hell has he done to get chucked, Swann's been bowling well this season yet we stick with Blackwell, another pie muncher
