Harmison in for Sidebottom, Swann in for Panesar, official
Slightly surprised at Sidebottom's dropping though Sky have been hinting at it all day. Pleased Anderson gets a go though. Really surprised about Panesar being dropped, wouldn't have been had he not been picked on Friday, anyway, time for change etc. Scaly will be pleased.

Harmison replaces not Anderson but Sidebottom and, interestingly, MSP out with Swann in. Blast that Corrin.
Think MSP needs that break and Swann deserves his chance - if you insist on picking a spinner. Sidebottom being dropped is a terrible decision though, whatever way you look at it.

So what changed between the second and third Tests to make Swann a better option than Panesar?
I would have supported the decision if it was actually made for the second Test, but I don't see how the change in conditions actually dictates that change at all..

Because preparing pitches isn't as simple as saying "I want this" and getting it. You need the soil to be right.

Dropping Ryan after a bad game.The selectors have clearly lost their minds though I'm happy Anderson gets a game,
Yeah, agreed.Sidebottom out seems pretty stupid. I like watching Jimmeh and Swann though.
I don't agree with the Sidebottom dropping and the Panesar dropping just confuses me, but I don't really mind as I like Anderson and Swann.
