Any changes for the 3rd Test


I'm not averse to Michael Vaughan's idea of moving Stokes up to 3. He can lead by example. It will kill his body but I suspect he might be ready to jack in after this tour anyway. Bethell in at 6, Jacks at 8.

Only other potential decision for me would be Carse for Potts but I'm 50/50 on that.
 
They are going ahead with their pre-planned mid-series break to Noosa, leaving them with only 3 practise days. They have already had a mid-series break, 3 days off after Perth.

Read the room lads, then again if they cancelled it then McCullum might actually have to do some coaching.

Fail in Adelaide and the knives are going to be not only out, but firmly in, given how they have "prepared" again.

Bethell is not strong enough.

If he holes a 30 foot putt on this trip he might be considered a strong person and get a game.

His putting lets him down despite being the 3rd best golfer on the team.
