2nd test - England v South Africa

[Safc_Luke]

Taylor will play I'd think.

Finn or Bresnan? I'd go with Finn.

[Aleem Dar]

Agreed on both points.

Taylor for Bopara, and Finn for Bresnan.

[Safc_Luke]

They were saying during the interval of the Notts/Surrey game on Sky that Swann might be out with an injured elbow.

[The Breen Machine]

Also would push Finn or Onions over Bresnan, mind I wish the selectors had the balls to pick 5 bowlers.

[Dreamboat]

Taylor for Ravi, Finn for Bresnan, but if it's a total green-top with miserable weather forecast I'd play Onions.

I'd actually be tempted to play four seamers and no spinner if he is.

what would be the alternative, panesar? who else is in england reckoning as a spinner? james tredwell? cant think of anyone else, except of course borthwick

[S'land till i die!]

think this is gonna be a huge mistake, who is gonna bowl the hard overs, trott? kp? no spinner is a joke, strauss has lost the plot, shit or bust i reckon

Its certainly a brave choice not sure yet if its the right one. The problem it leaves is there's nobody to change the bowling around unless you count kp to bowl a couple of overs.

[Steak Pie]

4-5 field and only 2 slips for Broad v Smith, in the 2nd over of the Test.

Going for the draw already.
