    David Lloyd- It will never get tougher than this
    Micheal Atherton- good against a brilliant (or he might have said great) Aussie attack

    Really well done, One of a top set of youngsters, bright future for England. Don't care what anyone says

    I agree Hemmsy, that's a truly excellent innings. He is certainly a top prospect, if he can keep it going. I just wish there were another half a dozen such talents coming up behind him. It's a shame he is likely to run out of teammates before he can really make a name for himself in this innings. I do like the look of him, I really do.

    There is. Just look at the performance program scores.

    Sorry but i keep saying it.

    Balence, Root Bairstow Robson Finn Mills along with a couple more i can't think of there names. Get a good spinner and England will be fine for the next 10 years.
    I don't know much about him but some will, Lees is apparently a talent and Jason Gillespie said Rashid should be in the england team.

    I'm with Boycott ,I don't think as Aussie attacks go they are brilliant or great, decidedly average (like Athertons commentary)

    He definitely came from a test tube.

    Doesn`t matter who is coming through if they don`t get selected, if my past knowledge of England is owt to go by then we will hang on far to long with some of the over the hill players.

    Is this the only crumb of comfort we can take from 3 tests?

    Boycott has many faults but is one of the best batsmen we have produced. I like to call this dismissal of sport in the past the premiership syndrome because as we know football was rubbish before 1992

    His old house got knocked down some time ago - used to be opposite the train station down the cul-de-sac that runs past the side of Hemsworth CC.
