I reckon Sidebottom will replace Bresnan in the only change for the 2nd test.

I think he felt, that he'd been diascarded, and one or two interviews he gave, he wasn't best pleased. By calling him up, he knows he;s in the selctors thoughts, and the pressure is put on, well, realistically only Collingwood, unless they were brave enough to drop KP. (Not that I would.) I suppose Sidebottom for Bresnan, if there's swing, different angle etc. It's be tough on Bresnan, not sure.

Probably although I think Bresnan deserves anothe shot.

Absolutely no need to change anything for me...I'd expect a much better effort from the Windies (unless its the usual freezing May weather in Durham) so we can check Bresnan a bit more closely.

that would be my side, tough on Bressy but Sid just gives that extra variation in the attack.
