With his wicket might be his place for the Brisbane test. I had thought that Anderson was going through a rough patch too
it's on Mr Watson's broad shoulders to make a match of it

I did say to you at the start of the series that we hadn't a row of batsmen worthy of a Baggy Green.... And so it has been proven That allied with young fragile quicks has been awful to watch. It was always going to be difficult to replace so many world class players in a relatively short space of time. 5 nil will be a disgrace

Mr Lehmann has spiced things up I see Well he will say he was joking of course , but the thing should have been left dead and buried ......just a ploy to deflect his problems with his team ....he should be more concerned about his poor team than calling opposition players cheats ! To be inciting Australian crowds to barrack Broad is childish and to be honest a disgrace , poor stuff from the coach of a national team.....it won't have the effect he is hoping for 4-0 looks good to me He is a bitter bastard, there is doubt that he is trying to deflect the problems with his team....and he had major problems!

Kerrigan and Woakes getting hammered all over the park. The pitch looks flat as a pancake glad I put £50 on the Aussies when I saw the team now.......

I keep an eye on the county game and obviously he's played for the Lions but is Kerrigan good enough? A left armer is interesting of course if we play the two but I really don't know that much about him? Any help? Up until the the last couple of seasons he was playing for a Preston based club in a local league around here .....I never saw him bowl but my son played against him a few time and said he was nothing special....obviously he seems to have improved in the last couple of years ! On the evidence so far this morning ....my son was not far off the mark ....early days for him yet though

In danger of gifting Watson an easy Hundred , to take the pressure off him .....

Not sure there is much sense in giving two bowlers a debut in the same match .....two youngsters under pressure , puts it all on to the other three bowlers

Woakes will never be a test all rounder whilst I've got a hole in my arse and two spinners isn't necessary when you've got Swann, it's hardly Delhi or Calcutta. Tremlett for Bresnan and if they were desperate to blood a so called an all rounder Ben Stokes should have got the nod. Talk about giving the Aussies a hand up when they're on the floor, I honestly thought we'd hammer them in this test.........

Yes very odd selections , I am not sure about Woakes at all and I don't think there was any need to try and replace Bresnan with another cloned version of him....pick bowlers for their bowling in my opinion , I don't like bits and pieces players

We claim that this is best team to claim victory in the match.....rubbish. A gift of a session for the Aussies, runs galore. Lets hope broad and Anderson bail us out again!

Anderson, Broad and Swann will all have to bowl at their best here, and in fairness to them they're all looking good......

Just got back in and I haven't had the chance to see the cricket all day. WTF is with that selection? Why no Tremlett? Woakes at 6/7?????? He shouldn't be at 11 nevermind in as an all-rounder. It's a bold I guess but Jesus wept.

I don't know mate .....I certainly can't throw much light on it for you .......strange not playing Tremlett .....and Kerrigan nervous though he must be , has bowled total rubbish ...and that's being kind to him

I don't for one second thing he's good enough but I don't think he's been helped by the selectors who have give him no cricket in preparation for it. He deserved one more chance imo. And then to see his place go to someone who has been nothing but shit in an England shirt is just bizarre.

The selectors have got things completely wrong in this Test ......I don't much rate Bresnan , but even he looks more dangerous and liable to take wickets than Woakes , he looks nothing more than a fourth seamer....Kerrigan could turn out to be a one test wonder in my opinion

Just turned on the radio to hear the test report. No, I didn't watch through the night. A good score for the day with Watson having kept his legs away from danger and Smith trundling on for a timely half century. We need to bat on through the second day on a receptive wicket to build a decent target. With a limited spin attack we can only hope our fragile, injury prone, quicks can do the job. Wondering what Boof had to say to Warner after his woeful display. Had great hopes for Davey going into this series. We still have enormous issues with the batting line-up and to be frank I don't see any solution in the short term.

I think you have hit the nail on the head with the Australian batting .....in the short term surely it would make sense to try and shore things up by bringing back some experience , Simon Katitch is playing for Lancs and could have done a good job ,David Hussey , Marcus North and Cameron White are all in England and would have been better bets than the batsmen who have been selected, I don't think it would have altered the result , but the batting would have been stronger
