Ashes squad

So, its been decided:

Andrew Strauss (capt): good
James Anderson: good
Ian Bell: d'oh. but i guess his performances of late warrant getting in the squad. at least its not shah.
Ravi Bopara: good
Tim Bresnan: um, i guess ok
Stuart Broad: good, not a jibber
Paul Collingwood: still average...
Alastair Cook: good, but clarke the bowler will get him out every time
Andrew Flintoff: good, and about time he performed
Graham Onions: good, but too much like anderson
Monty Panesar: i still love monty, but other selections are better
Kevin Pietersen: good
Matt Prior: good, would probably play as a batter if necessary
Adil Rashid: good, but isn't he small
Ryan Sidebottom: not a jibber, but is he still any good (probably)
Graeme Swann: good, but a bit of a dick (see recent interview in wisden)

It's not often I agree with Ponting (cunt) but this team has pretty much "picked itself".

Irrespective of whether they're up to the job, they're the best we've got.

Swann is a complete tit, you right.

I must say, I'm slightly relieved at Sidebottom's return to form/fitness. He's bowling pretty quickly at the moment, and he has two things that are sorely missing from our attack- loads of experience, and long, wavy ginger hair.
I would suggest the following, slightly amended entry-
'Ryan Sidebottom: not a jibber, good.'

Sorry if I was a touch brusque yesterday Ben.

Can someone put in a link to the interview with Swann? I thought he seemed alright when he was on cricket a.m.

I think this may be the article that Benji is referring to...
