I nearly agree with you. I think moeen has earned another home series after last summers performances. He wasn't brilliant in West Indies, but hopefully with a bit more fitness he can come good again.

I too hope we don't go with stokes and Jordan. They are both 4th seamers currently. I'd probably go with stokes, but wouldn't argue if it was Jordan instead. 3rd seamer in that case - probably plunkett, although I'd like to see wood given a go. I'm fully expecting England to go with stokes and Jordan though!

It'll end in tears, New Zealand will be too strong or we'll be too weak.

Wood deserves a call up, long overdue.

I still don't get Plunkett playing, we got shot of him as he was inconsistent even between balls of the same over, he's lost pace but because he can swing the bat he keeps getting chances.
