England squad for the start of the Ashes

Surely it'll be

A. Cook
J. Root
J. Trott
K. Pietersen
I. Bell
J. Bairstow
M. Prior
S. Broad
G. Swann
J. Anderson
T. Bresnan
S. Finn

 

They will name 13 with an extra bowler. Maybe Onions

 

Do you think KP should be picked Phil? I'm not so sure anymore. We're a bloody good team without him, good enough to win the Ashes so do we take a chance on his ego disrupting the spirit and harmony there is in the squad.

 

I think he should always be picked.
From reading and listening to things from people who know him hes not anything like people make out.

Last summer was a problem but he was proven right in the End. He can not keep playing every game for England. Not many other players do it. Root's only just got in to team and maybe Broad and Swann but the rest of them don't play at least one form on the game. Most of the test team don't play T/20's.

Matt Prior did a interview with Sky and said yes, things did slip in the changing room and what KP told him in a phone call was true.
