England squad.
Not particularly sure about this. Onions does not quite give us the 'bite' we need first change? It also looks like we're going into the first test with Prior at 6 and Broad, Swann or Bresnan at 7. Jesus: Andy Flower BETTER be a genius...

I prefer to look at it as Broad/Swann/Bresnan being our 7/8/9. Not much between them all but a tidy tail.
And Onions is currently much "tastier" than Harmison, though less so without Mustard, I'd imagine.
Plus, at Lords, experience suggests we need bowlers, not batsman.
Plus, it's the frigging West Indies. We declared, like 15 times or something on the trot against their bowling attack.
Oh, and very pleased Bopara has been given the nod over Sherminator, Cool Hand Shah and Old Man River.
Actually, didn't they only bowl us out once: when they won the first test?
I agree on Bopara.
Good to have you back by the way Mr Kendal King Pin.
I don't have a baby yet in case you were wondering why you hadn't heard. currently 5 days late.
'Known simply as Onions (he once said "the last person to call me Graham must have been the vicar at my christening,") the 26-year-old moved past Steve Harmison in the England pecking order and now has a chance, if selected ahead of Tim Bresnan, to put forward his Ashes credentials.'
Quality.
welcome back kkp- 'less tasty without mustard' ferfucksake.
Onions- don't rate him. and after all, I should know.
have to disagree about the batting. we might just get away with broad at 7 against the windies, but with that late order it's starting to look like a one day side. why didn't they pick heymascharenas if that's there attitude. don't rate bresnan either. too fat.
I didn't started the unnecessary Onions puns (or should I say, buns, b'dm t'sch) - I feel confient I've finished it, however.
"we might just get away with broad at 7 against the windies" - well, that's fortunate as the windies are exactly who we're playing. I don't claim that the squad is the long term answer but it's the right balance for the game in hand. I reckon.
Obviously, as I was writing about G.Onions, who you may recall I don't rate, said bowler was in the process of taking 6 for 36 at Taunton.
Might I just add, I 'don't rate' any or all of the England team. There, that should do it.
