Great, Hayden's impending fifty against Essex will prove he's 'found form.' Why couldn't you just fail!??

I'm actually surprised Essex declared, they should have batted again all day. Wouldn't have helped Australia's cause.

the agreed rules for the match limited them to 115 overs i think.

Anyway, England have announced 13 for the Oval test, the eleven from Trent Bridge plus Anderson and Collingwood.

No place for Tremlett, Nasser seems to think the selectors were seriously considering Cork, but if Jones isn't fit i guess Collingwood is the favourite

That's a serious kick in the nads to Tremlett. & hopelessly conservative call by us. & why Anderson suddenly? Has he pulled up many trees for Lancs? It's passed me by if he has.

I'd be thrilled to see Collingwood in for Bell and Anderson in for Jones. Just what Australia would have wanted really.

Well, I'm sure Australia would have wanted to be 4-0 up, really :p

Can't see Bell missing out unless his "cramp" in the C&G was more serious than our medical staff are letting on.

Anderson is just insane tho. He's taken 51 FC wickets this season (I've just been to cricinfo to check!), but at nearly 32 each. That is not form that demands a recall. It boggles the mind. :wacko:

Good, good. That keeps him in the side for the Oval.

Please, please, please be fit Simon. I couldn't bear to see Anderson playing, it would just be too horrible to watch.

Well if we have to keep Hayden, it's only fair that you guys have to draft in a mediocre player too!

Ha ha the Ginger in a spin eh with that Essex report?

It was Shaun Tait who finally separated the two, bowling Bopara for 135 before seeing Mark Pettini caught by Matthew Hayden for only eight. By now, however, Cook was playing the innings of his short career as he raced to a double century at barely slower than a run a ball, including 30 fours and a six
Cook was second out, then Pettini then Bopara :p
