England has named it's 17 man touring parting for the upcoming Ashes series:
1 Alastair Cook (Essex, capt),
2 Joe Root (Yorkshire),
3 Jonathan Trott (Warwickshire),
4 Kevin Pietersen (Surrey),
5 Ian Bell (Warwickshire),
6 Jonny Bairstow (Yorkshire, wkt),
7 Matt Prior (Sussex, wkt),
8 Stuart Broad (Nottinghamshire),
9 Graeme Swann (Nottinghamshire),
10 James Anderson (Lancashire),
11 Steven Finn (Middlesex),
12 Boyd Rankin (Warwickshire),
13 Ben Stokes (Durham),
14 Monty Panesar (Essex),
15 Michael Carberry (Hampshire),
16 Gary Ballance (Yorkshire),
17 Chris Tremlett (Surrey).
The big surprise has to be Monty Panesar after his recent behaviour. However, the spin cupboard didn't offer too many other options.
