    But then you are changing the side a lot.

    Could kevin pietersen open? Chris Gayle style?

    Also who could go in at 3?
    Could England get a chris woakes type of player in the team and play bell at 3?

    Trott opening with cook, bell at three KP will be back I reckon, at four. Taylor Bairstow bopara fighting for five and six, or possibly they will be four five six if KP doesn't get back in.

    Not ideal for the tour of India.

    If KP's to go on tour to India everythings got to be sorted because if it isn't it will come out over there as they will spend a lot of time together.

    Would feel very uncomfortable if Pietersen walked straight back into team now Strauss has gone.

    Would give Root a try and maybe look at Compton but Taylor appears a bit light weight.

    Cook
    Trott
    Bell
    KP
    Bairstow
    Taylor
    Prior
    Bresnan
    Swann
    Anderson
    Finn

    Give Taylor & Bairstow the chance in india & NZ , if either of them don't make it, bring Root in next Summer and shuffle the top order down one

    Can't see them bringing Root in just before facing Aussies.

    Would like to see Root play over in New Zealand because they are shocking.
    Watched some of there stuff in India and any decent test team should be thinking, i can't wait to play them.

    No way back for Pieterson. He spoke to a mate in RSA team, informing him of best way to get Strauss out. Well Strauss is out now (permanenly), and therefore so should Pieterson.
