A bit? For Strauss 09 read Atherton 94.

Oh dear, the exclusion of Trott is starting to look like a very poor decision.

With England not having to win another game in the series can someone explain the logic behind going into this match a batter light, particularly given how shaky Bopara has looked in the series so far?

Comical decision making from Strauss and Flower - should have been a straight swap Trott for Flintoff.

I makes no sense, Trott should have come in for Flintoff and Harmison for Swann.

This pitch will be a belter once the cloud cover goes, we will end up 200ish all out and they will score 450 and will end up up winning by an inngs.
