Swann and Wright in ODI squad for Sri Lanka

England have picked Graeme Swann to act as the second spinner in Sri Lanka during the ODIs, supporting Monty Panesar. I think that's the right decision - time will tell I guess! Luke Wright is also in the squad which isn't much of a suprise considering that England dropped Alastair Cook on Saturday for him.

Quite rightly, Prior hasn't been given a central contract. Despite Moores' public support for him, and the excellent stumping he took on Saturday (the first time I have seen him do anything even aspiring to international class behind the stumps), Prior's position is sufficiently under threat that the selectors didn't have much choice but to go into another season without a centrally contracted keeper.
