Stuart Broad – Nottinghamshire
Paul Collingwood – Durham
Steve Davies – Worcestershire
Joe Denly – Kent
James Foster – Essex

Steve Harmison – Durham
Robert Key – Kent
Sajid Mahmood – Lancashire

Graeme Swann – Nottinghamshire
Chris Tremlett – Hampshire
Shaun Udal – Middlesex
Chris Woakes – Warwickshire
Luke Wright – Sussex

Its good to see the big names picked, including real twenty20 specialists such as Dimitri Mascarenhas and Graham Napier.
The question is who will be captain, KP or Freddie Flintoff maybe? Robert Key could be a good choice as he has let Kent to many finals day and is definitely one of the best captains and batsman in English cricket.
Strange to see Eoin Morgan picked as he has played for Ireland and another strange pick to some will be Steve Harmison who is known for taking a real battering in domestic twenty20.
Let me know what you think.
