I think this is being forgotten. Lead by 500+ and bowl them out for under 200. That's the plan!

Aside from Clarke, I'm not sure which of this Australian team would be in the frame for the England side. Siddle probably instead of Bresnan?

No thanks.

I'd have Finn, Onions or Tremlett ahead of any of their bowlers. Not sure I'd even have Clarke in the team, quite happy with our Top 7

what do you lads and lasses think about Agars bowling?

looks average to me although he is still 19.

Smith looks a better bowler and even he is poor
 
In for his batting Agar.

When Smith gets it right on pitches like this he is a decent bowler to be fair

Would be tempted to have a 10 min slog tomorrow.

I'd have Clarke ahead of Bairstow every day of the week like.

Clarke is the best batsman on show. Cook just behind with Kp

Fair one. First thing they should do is bring Lyon back because they need a proper spinner in there who can tie up an end AND bowl wicket taking deliveries. They wont though cos they are obessing over Agar (:lol:). Also they have too many batsmen who play in a more of a limited overs manner, so chances are always there to be had.....

Saying all that, good! Nothing better than seeing the Convicts getting physically and mentally destroyed 8-)

Don't get me wrong, I want to see a whitewash but either as a result of a close contest or as in 2007-08 as a demonstration of absolute prowess, not just cos one team is rubbish. But to be honest a lot of them don't look like they give a fuck and the rest look scared. The spirit of the baggy green has been absolutely broken it would seem.
 
I know we have batted our way into certainly winning the test and although Im not a fan of limited overs crap - today has been awfully boring. Bumble has said the same...

Ive loved sitting here, having brews galore whilst watching Root and Bell play some quite beautiful cricket!
