u only gave 11. have they declared their squad ??? any way i have a more complete squad below. and if they want they can still play some from their 2nd string or academy side.

Ravi Bopara, Maurice Chambers, Michael Comber, Alastair Cook, Grant Flower, James Foster,Billy Godleman, Mark Hardinges, Danish Kaneria (Overseas), David Masters, John Maunders, Jaik Mickleburgh , Graham Napier, Max Osborne, Antonio Palladino, Mark Pettini (capt), Tim Phillips, Ryan ten Doeschate, Matt Walker, Mervyn Westfield, Tom Westley , Adam Wheater, Christopher Wright

ravi bopara is with england so wont play. i wish essex fields a better squad than surrey.

[Dilscoop]

I am done with this. I cant really enjoy cricket after reading about behind the scene stuff. [edit] BCB! We will never be professional!

[al-Sagar]

for BD...

shafiul should play.... may be rubel goes out if not recoverd

shakib should have a rest in comes junaid.

raj should only carry bottles.

tamim continue resting

[yaseer]

Riyad and specially Nayeem should bat up the order, like #4 or #5 to have much time for their batting practice. These two are surely going to play the Test, so let them prepare.

Sakib should also play if he has recovered as he did almost nothing in the 1st match. Otherwise Junaed comes in the team.

Shafi can come in place of Rubel.

[Imteaz]

Good Luck. Hope they will be able to utilize the match.

Seems there is no chance for a better squad from Essex either.
They are now playing 4-day match against Kent which will end on May, 13. It is highly unlikely that on the next day they will allow their top players to play against us.

I feel sorry that the boys have to play in this cool chilly damp weather, it gets to your bones, anyhow, end of May should be better weather. I lived in England in 2005/2006, so I know, sunshine will arrive but it will never be be more 65 degrees F, now it may be about 50 degrees F.

[Nadim]

More cold weather is coming English weather sux

I really feel for our players.

Lol! It's rather easier to get hold of them during practice matches. The next one is at the Chelmsford County Ground on Fri/Sat/Sun.

[Yameen]

it maybe cold in england but as professional athletes, you should be able to adapt to such conditions and rather than moan just get on with it..same goes to the english that winge about the heat n humidity when playing in the sub continent

All it takes is a few days for the body to adjust, They'll be fine

It was 80 degrees F last week, than last week it was only just 40 degrees F, my body couldnt adjust to the rapid climate change. But they'll be fine it's only going to take a few days. If anything their bodies should be adjusted to this climate already

This team would be a good test for us...especially our pace bowlers. If RUbel's not 100%, don't play him...Maybe nadim98 can be the sub fielder..rotten eggs coming your way Nadim!

Good thing is Naeem and Riyad will get more batting practice...perfect situation for a practice match...we'd do well not to look like we're about to lose..
