EXCLUSIVE: England give Test debuts to Steve Finn and James Tredwell against Bangladesh By Sportsmail Reporter England will give Test debuts to Steve Finn and James Tredwell against Bangladesh tomorrow. Kent spinner Tredwell gets his chance after spending the tour of South Africa as cover while Middlesex pace bowler Finn replaces Graham Onions who is returning home after a back injury ended his tour. It is a remarkable rise for 20-year-old Finn, the 6ft 7in England Under-19 man having played just 30 First-Class matches for his county. England's bowling attack against the world's lowest-ranked Test-playing nation will be spearheaded by 6ft 6in Stuart Broad who has recovered sufficiently from a back problem to start. Yorkshire's Tim Bresnan will take the new ball in what will be his third Test as England opt for a five-man attack with two spinners. They will also be looking for Broad and Bresnan to add vital runs, as Finn has a batting average of just six. England coach Andy Flower has selected out-of-form Kevin Pietersen for the Chittagong series opener. England last played Test cricket in Bangladesh seven years ago when they won both games easily and in 2005 they warmed up the Ashes with two innings victories at Lord's and Durham. ENGLAND TEAM Alastair Cook, Jonathan Trott, Ian Bell, Kevin Pietersen, Paul Collingwood, Matt Prior, Stuart Broad, Tim Bresnan, Graeme Swann, James Tredwell, Steve Finn

Tredwell is garbage.

test result : England win on day fourth !!! and for BD : a ton by shakib, tamim or mahmudullah .

Steve Finn is dangerous. I saw him in the practice match, he bowls at a good pace and gets good bounce because of his height. I was hoping they didn't play him. Tredwell is nothing to worry about. We are comfortable against off-spin as we showed by toying around with Harbhajan. It's legspin and left arm spin which troubles us, which is ironic since we produce more left-arm spinners than any other team. And Carberry folded to Dollar Mahmud. Nuff said.

Looking forward to watching Finn bowl. There's been a lot of talk about him for years now.

Finn would still probably walk into the Indian team, certainly taller and quicker than Ishant. Although he did bowl pretty poor in his first spell he must have been nervous.

Woakes is really too slow, he is my homeboy though playing for warks so guess I wish him well.

[Serani]

He is mid to late 70's in the games on sky, pretty much carbon copy of Keith Barker another warks player who also plays club cricket for a local team. Not much fast bowling from Warwickshire although I did play against a kid last year who plays for Warks u19 and got sent to India for further training and he looked good for a 17 year old.

[Serani]

His name is Tom Milnes, google him, have seen little of Harris mainly because sky seem to only show Lancashire, Sussex, Yorkshire, Surrey and the rest get less time.

[Serani]

Chris Jordan from Surrey? I know he has the pace but he hardly plays, Surrey are not exactly the kind of county you want to start a career at.
