Ashes Zone - Who will go to Oz?

Three England captains - Andrew Strauss, Mike Atherton and Nasser Hussain - run through the likely tourists for the tour to Australia in three months' time. The 13-man nucleus is pretty much set in stone for the panelists, with Jonny Bairstow and Chris Tremlett in that group, along with forgotten man Steve Finn. Talk of the reserve batsman turned to James Taylor, with Strauss picking him to travel Down Under. "I think you need a third opener on standby but he doesn't need to be part of the touring party and instead you need someone who can bat between three and six, and Taylor fits the bill. He has a phenomenal record, while we don't know enough about him to discard him and this is an opportunity to see more of him."
