Gary Ballance, where did they drag him from? unless they want a new face to carry the drinks on... Stokes and Rankin deserve a chance and you're right rustee, Rankin may actually give the Aussies some hassle.. Pairing Rankin up with Tremlett at say Perth may be an interesting choice...
Michael Carberry also makes the grade, he has long been touted for a go, and he's been bashing it about at home, but where would they play him, as an opener instead of Root perhaps? or is he there just as a back up in case Root or Cook has an injury? Of course he'll probably play the limited overs games if not the tests...
I hope England are prepared to play some of these new guys and not stick with the usual team. Perhaps Perth will be the game to try them out after seeing how they get on after the first 2 tests, and of course who then wants to look Pretty In Pink at the MCG for the Boxing Day test.
At least the picks have given them some options, with just under 2 months to go, there will certainly be lots of speculation now... and I'm calling a 3-1 England series win...
