Not open for further replies.
athers and strauss? i enjoyed that cllip they showed the other day of nasser being bowled by napier and they put up a pic of him aged 19 and abatting index of 22

Like Athers as well. Not a fan of Strauss or Knight but he doesn't do much covering England tests.
 

athers is good value, i dont mind strauss to be fair but he is still a newbie. i hope he gets the tennis racquet out and hits nasser again
 
Ballance to bat 3 apparently so likely team

Robson
Cook
Ballance
Bell
Root
Ali
Prior

Makes utterly no sense to go with woakes but it wouldn't surprise me if he's the 4th seamer :rolleyes:
 
Love that bit about the 1st morning of the summer. Class. :cool:
 
Pitch quite dry then, may turn later on but first three days are going to be testing.

Grassy wicket, Eng prob wanted to bowl first...

Like the look of our 4 man attack on this pitch, Plunkett is bowling quick...
