Who deserve to be in the Three Lions starting line-up?

JAMIE CARRAGHER'S talismanic performance against Barcelona has proved that he can cope with the world's best attackers.

Carra kept Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi at bay throughout Tuesday's Champions League tie.

The Kop hero also marshalled his defensive line superbly and was only undone when Barca piled on the pressure and Eidur Gudjohnson netted his 75th-minute winner.

After the match Liverpool and England ace Steven Gerrard hailed Carragher as the best centre-half in the world.

And with John Terry doubtful for England's qualifiers against Israel and Andorra, Carra is pushing for an England start.

But who do you think is the nation's best centre-half?

Is it Rio Ferdinand who has been at the heart of Manchester United's rise to the top of the Premiership?

Or England skipper Terry whose passion and commitment have never the country down?

Maybe you reckon Jonathan Woodgate should get the call for his displays at Middlesbrough this season?

Or is it Carragher, who has never really had the chance to shine for the Three Lions but has starred for Liverpool in recent seasons?
