I enjoy 20-20 but find it hard to care whether team A representing an Indian city 5,000 miles away beats team B representing a different Indian city 5,000 miles away.
Lumb did very well in the last four matches. England must get rid of Denly and Trott if they're to do well at the World T20 (or any limited over cricket, for that matter).
Bopara has scored well (was very unlucky with two LBW decisions in the last two matches) but has been way too slow. I'd take Lumb over him myself, but if they choose to take Kieswetter (Prior is useless in limited overs matches) as the first choice keeper, I hope they pick him ahead of Bell, Shah, Trott or Denly.
It has been frustrating to not see Napier get a game. Bravo, Pollard and McLaren have all been very poor but continue to get picked ahead of him. I'd love to see him make a point to the selectors after he was excluded yet again, even after doing so well in New Zealand this winter.
I don't support anyone, actually - I just try to enjoy the cricket. Obviously it's not half as fun as Tests, but there's no way I'd miss the chance to see Warne and Gilchrist play Live cricket...
England always seem to be too harsh on all the Essex boys, dropping Foster after he had a great tournament behind the stumps last time. OK, battting wasn't great but 6 or 7 is a tough position in 2020. Cook's the only one who's ever got a prolonged run in the side but hopefully being in Div 1 will give them more exposure this season.
Yes, the way Foster has been treated is even more shameful. Last year, everyone's batting was way too slow barring KP's and Wright's, so there's no way the selectors should blame Foster. Having a specialist keeper can be priceless in T20s and it's very unlikely that a no. 7 batsman will have to play a long innings, so I'd love to see the selectors' logic behind not choosing him...

None of our pacers can bowl slowers or get it into the blockhole, so it's probably upto the batsmen to bail us out.
