England starting 11 v. Switzerland

Fabio Capello's first list of players really shocked me. While I miss some key players due to uncare like Micky Shorey and Ashley Cole, I did hit with Agbonlahor (now injured ) and Carson as good surprises. Talking about surprises Heskey and Defoe were obviously one while regular Gerrard was named again. I thought he really would name Mr. Beckham for his 100th cap, but his reason is undeniable; lack of regular play. I really was very confident in my different choices but Capello obviously is more intelligent than me and named the right squad. One thing that did not even pass my thought was the U-21 friendly against Ireland. Many of my main picks were called up by 'Psycho' Pearce.
Here is the comparison I hit 12 of 23 Capello's presumptive list by me:
