I have this feeling that Aussies will chase this down and win by 3-4 wickets. Warner, Smith, Clarke can play big role.

Oh and England get rid of Ballance.
If you think there is a better English test No.3 than Ballance, please enlighten us as to whom that might be. Or are you suggesting England play with 10 players?

Agreed, out of Warner, Smith, and Clarke two of them would need to score big centuries. The other batsman would then need to hold their nerve. Infortunately the bounce of the pitch is too erratic to be able to settle easily, so I can't see any of that happening - but you never know.

Not sure which of those ideas is worse to be honest.

You really do just post **** all the time don't you?
Playing Ballance in a test team is the worst idea of all. He's far from test standard.

I am a far better poster than you can ever dream to be.

Must mean that those attacks he's scored runs off are also by definition far from test standard.

As for the other part of your post, I refer you to the second part of my post that you quoted you ignorant ****ing troll.

Why are there calls for Ballance's head after he did better than many dared hope for by gutsing out a knock in the first innings?

It's not like he's facing his Great Satan Trent Boult for five tests in a row.

The difference in quality between mine and your posting is as much as the difference between test careers of KP and Ballance.

I think you have anger issues. Cool down. Have a milkshake.

Oh that is harsh "all" the time is a bit of an exaggeration.

But yeah pushing root to number 3 when he's been godly at five to accommodate an aging guy who doesn't play much cricket, over one who averages 50 at 3 isn't an hugely brilliant idea in my lowly opinion.
