[King Pietersen]

I guess Compton would help bring back a much needed South African influence to this team.

Wont happen and neither will a Carberry return

Pick Hales or another youngish player as at least they have potential

 

[grecian]

Cook and Jimmeh can't handle someone better-looking then them in the England team, only reason Compo was dropped in the first-place. Now it's Lyth in there, I think this conspiracy theory has legs.....

Guess that rules Wayne Rooney out

decent work by neville and starc,

I would still give Lyth one more go, I don't like using 14 players in 4 tests. I doubt he comes good but his hundred against NZ was class and the style of player we want.

Hales killed Bears in 50 over stuff the other day so he is striking it well, might be a decent option.

We'll have used 14 by next Test anyway given that Anderson is out. Unless Wood comes back in for him I guess

The question has to be asked - at what point do we bowl Rogers?

Why not. Lose to win.

not before Clarke bowls himself and picks up 6 wickets

Wood will 100% be back for next test. It was a minor niggle here and I think the team fancied Finn.

Will they pick both Wood and Finn though?

I think it states explicity in the rules that if he does bowl, he has to do so in a terry towelling headband whilst wearing a Dennis Lillee wig and a fake moustache.

Just a number

Players are either good enough or have the potential to be so

I'm happy for Oz to pick MMarsh/Starc as I think they are in the latter category

To me, Lyth/Voges look like ordinary players that have happened to have one good season late in their careers and probably wont amount to much in test terms

Gonna be odd going into Trent Bridge without a convential swing-bowler if that is the case.

 

[Uppercut]

That Clarke drop fairly cost us a shot at a decent game. Would have been interesting to see Bairstow coming in at 51/3.

 

[Jono]

this is crap

 

[Son Of Coco]

It's quite an effort to bowl a wide in a test match.
