Be difficult to make Brentford for 12.30 won't it?

Bairstow running away to square leg against Johnson! Absolutely farcical. Get rid.

What's your team DMR? We have to field 11 players, you've dropped everyone and their replacements. It's easy enough to say everyone is shit, and we clearly don't have 11 world class players at the moment but we need to field the best we can. I don't believe that's Bairstow either but clearly management rate him. There aren't hundreds of quality players in County Cricket who are being kept out of the team, there's a lot like Carberry who are quite good but probably not international standard, and a few who might get there in time. We've already lost Swann, Trott and Prior in a series, there's only so much change that can happen at once.

Cook, Compton, Root, KP, Bell, Stokes, Prior (or Butler), Broad, Anderson, Finn. Couldn't give a toss who they pick as a spinner as nobody is top drawer. Probably go Monty for the time being but I'd like to see Borthwick get a go soon, get him and Root bowling 10 a day each and maybe even a bit of KP.

Wouldn't differ too much. Big fan of Compton but suffers from similar problem as Carberry in getting bogged down not scoring. Marginally better in my view but clearly Compton didn't fit in with the England set up for some reason.

I'd give Davies a go with the gloves, Buttler was frankly poor in FC cricket for Somerset. Prior is the best option but is horribly out of form- same thing with Finn for third seamer, England seem to be fucking him up like they did with Anderson early in his career.

Think Bell at 3, Root at 5 is better for balance but there you go.

A key first half hour at the MCG for me tonight...we could be blown away for less than 250 but keep KP and Bresnan in, and we COULD get up to 300+. We're due some luck so hopefully we can get past and bat for the session! Here's hoping anyway!

I've got so much time for KP trying to murder Johnson like a county trundler. The fact he missed it is almost irrelevant.

I question what the fuck these tail Enders do in the nets or get told by the coaches. Is ducking the short stuff not an option instead of waving their gloves around like a Mumbai traffic cop?

66/3 decent start, Anderson bowling well but Bres looks as threatening as a Labradoodle.
