Who would you pick for England?
We all love to play England selector from time to time, so here's my team for the Twenty20 and ODIs coming up against New Zealand. This is from the squad that has been selected, rather than considering from scratch - personally I'd definitely have used a different keeper if I had a free choice over selection! The squad is: Paul Collingwood, Tim Ambrose, James Anderson, Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Stuart Broad, Alastair Cook, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Kevin Pietersen, Owais Shah, Ryan Sidebottom, Graeme Swann, Chris Tremlett, Luke Wright.
Twenty20: Wright, Bell, Pietersen, Bopara, Collingwood, Shah, Mascarenas, Broad, Ambrose, Swann, Sidebottom.
ODI: Wright, Cook, Bopara, Pietersen, Collingwood, Shah, Mascarenas, Broad, Ambrose, Sidebottom, Panesar.

you have to find a place for Jimmy Anderson somwere.
Cook shouldn't play for England in ODIs and how can you give Bopara a chance up the order before Shah?
Cook
Bell
Shah
Pietersen
Collingwood
Wright
Ambrose
Broad
Sidebottom
Anderson
Panesar
My concern with Anderson is that he got taken apart by McCullum in NZ. His total figures for the ODIs in NZ were:
37-1-270-4
Average: 67.5
Strike rate: 55.5
Economy rate: 7.3
And McCullum's in form after his innings against Worcester today.
