England’s squad announcements offer few opportunities to raise eyebrows

There were few surprises in England’s squad for the Stanford Super Series. It’s pretty much the usual One-Day side.

Sidebottom and Harmison are both included, and Monty loses out to Samit Patel.

It’s a squad of 15 anyway, so the weeping and grinding of teeth by those left out at the last minute will have to wait for a bit.

Also, Michael Vaughan got a central contract. I’ve already said enough about him.
