As an Aussie I'm too sure on who to go for 
Really don't like the indians as they are poor sports. I really like the English spirit and the team but its England and supporting Enland would to be too weird.
Should be good cricket though

OP Updated with England squad 
End of the warmup match. Draw. Horrible cricket from India
But positive signs from Strauss.

Strauss battered the Sri Lankans right before that series - I'm not convinced he'll perform that well against India yet!

India appears to be the time against which players find their form. Strauss hit 138 against them in the world cup. In the world cup also Ponting had been struggling and he too hit a century against India. Then in the Windies Test Chanderpaul found his form with a brilliant century. I wouldn't put it past Strauss and KP to get many runs, and Broad to get a lot of wickets.

I think you're being a tad pessimistic - because if those lot get runs/wickets it will be a hammering, unless Cook/Trott/Bell/Anderson suddenly have a massive slump at the same time!

Pessimistic? Did you see how badly India got raped
? I'm trying to be realistic about India's chancesI reckon that Strauss will score more runs in the Lord's Test alone than he did in the entire Sri Lanka series.
I don't think England can hammer India. There's too much experience in the Indian team to allow that to happen.

i wonder how finn is feeling at the moment as the lad has been getting wickets but has been left out of the squad.

So angry right now
My dad is going to a charity dinner thing tonight, guess who's going to be there? The England cricket team, the Indian cricket team and a load of bollywood starts.
It's for 2 different charities:
M.S. Dhoni Charitable Foundation and Habitat for Humanity India
My dad is going, and I can't
The home team selects the squad for each test match. The away team needs to bring a squad for the entire tour

As said, it's the England squad for the first test only. Being as it's all in England, they can change players between tests at will. The 2nd test squad could quite easily be an entirely different twelve players.
