3. Root
4. KP
5. Bell

7. Prior/Bairstow
8. Stokes
9. Bresnan
10. Broad
11. Anderson

Yeah, pretty much that for me, but I'd give Finn a go ahead of Stokes, Perth could be the place for his bowling. Didn't watch last night, did Stokes do OK with the bat, because he looked all at sea in the first innings. Prior stays in after scoring a few runs, but I genuinely would like to see Jos in there, we need some kind of counter-attack here. It's a desperate measure, but we're in desperate times.

Send the weak ****ers home, so we don't have to endure the gutless wonders here.

Aye, the 1990's revival is up and running, no mistake.

So glad I didn't see our openers' efforts this morning.

Please no.

 

[Top_Cat]

Stokes needs to be picked for Perth. Think his bowling will go well there and reckon he'll bat well with the ball coming on too.

 

[benchmark00]

ICC regulations dictate that you are not allowed to be given out LBW in Perth so he has that going for him as well.

 

[Tangles]

England 98 all out first innings.

Whats the news on Patto. Likely to be ready for perth or not? Wouldn't be opposed to playing 4 quicks, didn't think Lyon provided much at all this game.

They're taking the velvet gloves approach to him, won't be in the frame for this series at all I think.

everyone just shut up about pattinson and bird and all those injured players

ah that's a bit balls. The prospect of Patto, Johnson and Harris bowling in tandem would have been pretty amazing.

 

[Tangles]

Siddle won't get dropped. Lyon on the other hand is very likely.

 

[Spikey]

only losers advocate picking lyon instead of bollinger. dougeh's more fun. even if he performs badly he's more fun than lyon.

Hey is Ben Hilfenhaus fit?

 

[Spark]

I think Johnson bowling like this makes Pattinson slightly unnecessary - two shock bowlers is a bit much.

 

[Tangles]

Ballance at 6 would help the batting but making someone debut at Perth 2 nil down is asking a lot.

dead i'm afraid
