    Woeful and Embarrassing.

    It's like watching barnsley under Flitcroft. Two main bowlers and two spinners. Yeah that'll win us the game. It's like playing with COG on the wing and wondering why we didnt score enough.

    And choosing either swan or panesar over Bresnan is like picking Wiseman over Hassell.

    Playing for a draw. Watch us get arse ***** all game.

    Fingers crossed I'm proved to look a complete moron now and we thump em.

    What are you on about.
    It's a thoughtful selection from England.

    It's nothing like choosingWiseman over hassell. Firstly Wisemans by far the better of the two even though they do the same job.
    Choosing Panesar and Stokes over say Bresnan and Ballence is a good choice. If it works then it will be very good.

    Firstly. My post was tongue in cheek but thank you for treating it seriously and making it about which right back is better.

    Secondly your genius response of "if it works it will be very good" says all I need to know about your intellect and relevance to, well, anything.

    I'm going to win the lottery. If my numbers come up.

    Your not joking at all. You mentioned those two Reds players.
    Secondly why not just trust this England team and selection panel.
    This teams got more Test Wickets than any other England Team.

    Sorry but he mentioned those two players.

    Listening to Botham and Bumble they are quite happy with this team.

    How is playing going in with a 5th bowler a defensive tactic? It's an attacking way team selection!!

    Glad you're enjoying it Hemmsy. It must be sleep-time soon though - it's almost time for me and we're 7 hours behind you. Might stay up a while longer if they get a couple more wickets after tea.
