Selected AGAIN! I am all for continuity and loyalty, but this is getting silly. I could also understand if he was way in form - But he isn't.
With Taylor, Stokes, Vince, Chopra, Ballance about, I find this a poor selection.

It's that division 2 Essex connection that keeps getting him selected. He's been woeful in division 2 this season

`i do find it an odd selection but Stokes is in no sort of form with the bat so won't get picked yet, Taylor, Vince Chopra and Ballance are batters only and offer nothing with the ball, in picking Bopara England are looking for someone to offer something with the ball, which Bopara has done well of late in terms of economy in ODI's. I don't agree with it and think there are others but not many.
Vince for me is really kicking on this season and those of us who saw his innings last night can see just how good Vince is going to be.
The usual Essex connection stuff will be thrown about with this selection but that's insinuating that Flower is pretty bad at his job, which he clearly isn't. To pick players on their club will divide the dressing room and cause problems and we all saw what Flower did with the last thing that disrubted the dressing room !

Agree on Vince. He oozes class. Lost his way last season, but only 22. Should definately be in the T20 team.
