England squad for South Africa tour
No real surprised although the selectors have pretty signalled the end of Harmison's test career. I'm sure an announcement saying that he's retiring from international cricket can't be that far away.
Other than that, it seems that Steven Davies has moved up as reserve keeper and Liam Plunkett gets a recall. He had a reasonable season for Durham but I expect the fact that he can hold a bat swayed his inclusion.
Not happy with Luke Wright being in the squad, the guy isn't test class - surely there as a drinks waiter?
Test squad: Andrew Strauss (Middlesex - captain), Alastair Cook (Essex - vice captain), James Anderson (Lancashire), Ian Bell (Warwickshire), Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire), Paul Collingwood (Durham), Steven Davies (Surrey), Graham Onions (Durham), Kevin Pietersen (Hampshire), Liam Plunkett (Durham), Matt Prior (Sussex), Adil Rashid (Yorkshire), Ryan Sidebottom (Nottinghamshire), Graeme Swann (Nottinghamshire), Jonathan Trott (Warwickshire), Luke Wright (Sussex)
One day squad to follow...
Predicting that LionsthenDaylight will post to say how shit England are.
