The England side appears set for an overhaul after the humiliating defeat by an innings and 80 runs at Headingley. Ravi Bopara and Ian Bell have come in for the greatest criticism following the defeat in Leeds, with the likes of Surrey veteran Ramprakash, Somerset's Trescothick and Kent captain Robert Key put forward as possible replacements for next week's decider at the Oval.

"All of a sudden you stick in Trescothick and Ramprakash and then you have two very experienced players," said Lamb. "I'd bring Trescothick in to open, drop Alastair Cook down to three, play Ramprakash at four and have Paul Collingwood at five. If they don't go for Ramprakash, they have to play Key at four."

He added: "If they pick the right side we've got a chance of beating Australia.

"I've always said that with the talent we have and the players we have, it's been poor selection."
