Should be in around half an hour, but apparently it's threatened by rain.King_Ponting said:
Australia named their team anyway, resting Gilchrist, Martyn, McGrath, Lee and Warne. Haddin, Hodge, Tait, Kasprowicz and Macgill come in.

Except that his average isn't "infinity" - it's "undefined".King_Ponting said:Yes he does have the highest average as infinity is higher than any number.....
(I realise you've already copped heaps on this, but it's not below me to kick a man when he's down.
)Is it raining in Worcestershire right now? The scoreboard reads "start delayed by rain", but it also lists Langer having hit a boundary off the first ball...

England unchanged.
Chairman of selectors David Graveney told BBC Sport: "We met on the Monday after the first Test and the performance of the side was very vivid in our minds.
"We have managed to become the second-ranked team in the world by being as consistent as possible with selection.
"There has been a lot of debate about those under pressure in the team and the outstanding form of Paul Collingwood but we decided that we wanted to stick with the same 12 and didn't want to shake up that squad."
No suprises then, rightly giving the chaps another go IMO.

I'm slightly surprised. I thought Colly would've been added to make a 13.
I really don't think there's much point including Tremlett either, I can't see him replacing any of the other seamers on the basis of one test. Hoggy probably had the weakest game, but if Tremlett has been included just to keep him on his toes why not Colly for Bell and/or Gilo?

It's a strong signal from the selectors that they have faith in the side that reached the dizzy heights of No 2 in the world - something that was achieved in part through consistency of selection. A single defeat doesn't make England a bad side (yetBoyBrumby said:
