Difficult times ahead as we look to bring in and bring on new, younger players.
Prior's loss of form with the bat has been especially damaging to the whole tail it seems
Think Cook needs to get his snr pros to take responsibility as follows:
1 Cook
2 Carbs
3 Bell (take responsibility!)
4 KP
5 Balance
6 Root
7 Stokes
8 Prior
9 Broad
10 Anderson
11 Monty

At a guess, Prior. |

Looks like Borthwick will get a debut in the final test.
He bats at 3 for Durham and got over 1000 runs in the CC last year. But he barely bowled and if he does make it to the summer watching him bowl to the Sri Lankan's and Indian's might need watching from behind the sofa!

Yeah, we're essentially picking a player not unlike Steve Smith as our lead spinner. On the bright side, he's got a decent chance of doing an Agar...

Borthwick a much better batsman than Agar Nemo, he's really come on last few years but his legspin has gone the other way. A definite Steve Smith-type selection here. Ballance and Rankin also tipped to make debuts in final test match in place of Carberry, Bresnan and Panesar. Root back to open, Bell at 3, Borthwick at 5, Ballance at 6 with Rankin taking Jack (or 11).
Personally I can't see anything other than an Australian win, and thus completing one of the most remarkable come backs you'll see - 3-0 series defeat only 4 months ago, lost 3 consecutive Ashes series and now 4-0 up, with a chance to whitewash England!

3 debutants as expected in the form of messers Ballance, Borthwick and Rankin.
Biggest surprise is Root not Carberry dropped.

Me neither, Joe Root the future - would rather he played than Carberry. Happy with the other changes though, good to see England finally win a toss, some early wickets would be nice!

Clownberry over Root is an absolute joke.
I'm going to bed. What a bunch of cunts.

Good session there from England. My worry is that Haddin and the lower order get runs and England collapse like they have throughout the series. I guess only time will tell.

Sweet mother of Jesus. From 97-5 to 201-5 and Haddin off and at it again. Rankin has buggered a hammy by the looks of it leaving England with a 4 man attack one of which Borthwick has served up 3 overs of the kind of utter filth has remembering Simon Kerrigan from the summer. Glad Borthwick bats at 3 and his batting and come on because going into a test with him as your main spinner could be about to backfire badly! |
