    I think Bresnan will probably play. Finn is perhaps in a bit of a rut where he doesn't know what length to bowl and isn't running in with much conviction. He did bowl one good spell at a fuller length but then got taken apart on Sunday. He's a very capable wicket-taker and will eventually be very good but England are big on this drying up runs thing and probably won't go with him for now. More important part is whether Bresnan is bowling better now, doubtful that Onions would play.

    Forgot the 2nd test was on tomorrow

    Ashes

    Already being forgotten about.

    Anyway Finns homeground so he might well play.

    Root and Bairstow are a bit shit but can't see either being dropped.

    As for Aussies, Cowan has to go, agar at 3

    Interesting to see what happens with Agar actually.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    After his fearless début I reckon he might turn to jelly now.

    Well, whether you like it or not, most cricket observers would argue it is.

    India are big news because of sheer volume of number of Indians and their spread around the globe and lack of alternative sporting interests, but you wouldn't argue a Chinese sporting star is the premier draw in a random competition even though they might have the greatest number of fans backing them. Cricket involving Pakistan nowadays is so frequently tainted by match fixing and off field issues they can't lay much claim to being anywhere near at the top of cricketing interest.

    He's an Aussie cricketer, he's already a bad guy.
