At least they've given odds on KP!

And Blobster is 2nd fav with PP!

Geoff Miller to put a sneaky bet on Joyce......

Steyn ruled out.

Straw has to be the captain.

My Oval XI -

Cook
Denly
Key *
KP
Bell
Flintoff
Foster +
Anderson
Si Jones
Harmisson
Panesar

Fast track, sun shining ... nothing to lose ... and not a single Middlesex pick!!!
Blend of kiddies with some older heads.
Won't happen of course!

PS.. Long tail !

Yep, could surely do with some weight loss there.

Seriously - whilst Blob might still retain his man-boobs (albeit a slightly lesser cup size)
the guy has worked on his fitness successfully and, judging by his two blinding catches
and running between the wickets with the kiddie Denly at the Rose Bowl in the T20 thrashabout
two weeks back, I'd say he was probably fitter and leaner than some of the trough-gorging piggies
in the present Team England.

Who are they then? Smiffy and Shark seem the stoutest on the field at the moment - but as we have said with Key (and Sales) size is not important, as long as they perform, shirley?

[FIXED]

Who, Jack? Combining the job with PM after he has similarly forced out G Broon in another tearful farewell:

"Mah myynd told me it wa' time to go."

The executioner.

You wouldn't give Flintoff a run, despite his form? Harsh.

Botham is the surprise for me.

Bah, he's become Sir Bargearse of Combox.

HA ha ha ha ha!!

Smiffy and KP at the toss for the 4th Test is going to be amusing!

Wonder if they'll do a handshake grind-off, be there for 20 mins.

They won't toss, they'll arm-wrestle. Or maybe Ro-Sham-Bo. That would make for some quality entertainment. Someone should suggest it to the ECB.

"Idiot"
"Qunt"
"Spiv"
"Tosser"
"Err ... oh yeah ... call it."
"Tails"
"Ha Ha you lose - you fat qunt. We'll bat."
"Ha Ha ... 200 all out then."
"F**k off you Jaarpiee prat."
"Eh ?!! "

Surely Ro Shamboing would be unfair. The away captain would get first kick every time.

It would be grand if KP mumbled just audibly under his breath "ya farkin gay fat c0ck juggler."

That might be construed in some quarters as gamesmanship.
