Bump for Brandon 
Broad still a doubt with his shoulder. I bet if he's out Finn will keep his place and onions still won't get a game

He won't, England would never go into a game with three number 11's. As wrong as it is Bresnan would be in as much for his batting as his bowling.Bump for Brandon

But there'd only be 2 , jimmy and onions....
Both capable of blocking for half an hour
Can't quite see what the obsession is about everyone batting myself. Bowling teams is is more valuable, ask Ashton agar

Depend on the wicket for me. If they are going to prepare another baked spinner then there's no point picking Finn, might as well let Bunny pound away on line and length - would be much more effective.

He says performance at that ground will be considered though...
Finn's is good iirc, dunno about bres and go?
Go's is good everywhere like

Mind I think Bunny has a good record there. For Durham atleast. I always feel too, that bowlers who have great accuracy will always get help from the Lords pitch. That is Onions.

Would be stupid to change a winning side IMO
Not if you can improve it. Finn, one over in the first innings aside, was pretty shite.

Batsmen often get no runs in a test and and stay in for the next.
How many Ashes did he win?
Rumours are another dry and slow one, although Im not convinced.
20 wickets at 33.5 in 6 tests this year, economy 3.74.
20 wickets at 31.5 in 5 tests last year, economy 3.16
1 5 wicket haul in those 11 tests.
He isn't a match winner in my eyes, I think Onions will be a better bet in English conditions. Just get the feeling that Finn needs to go away from England from a bit and come back when he's happy with his run up, is more confident and cuts out the number of 4 balls that he's bowling at the minute. You can't rely on him to keep the pressure up if he's not taking wickets and he's not having enough good spells at the minute to justify keeping him in in case he bowls one.
Add to that the fact that Cook bowled Bresnan and Onions more against Essex and only gave him 10 overs in the second innings at Trent Bridge (15 in the first when Broad couldn't bowl for most of it) and you've got a captain who isn't confident in his bowler, he should be dropped.
