It should be interesting to see if England intend to drop one of the batsmen to accomodate a second spinner in the side or whether we we will be going in one light on the seam front.
Our "standard" team for English type conditions would be Trescothick, Strauss, Vaughan, Bell, Pietersen, Flintoff, Geraint Jones, Udal, Hoggard, Harmison, Simon Jones with Collingwood dropped despite his heroics in the third test against Pakistan in order to accomodate the fit again Simon Jones.
Assuming that England wish to play two front line spinners who would you drop from the above lineup to accomodate the untried Monty Panesar as my own feeing is that I would rather see Collingwood in the side first and the most expendable batsman is one of our supposed matchwinners - Pietersen.
