BBC reporting England likely to make several changes, including Bairstow for Prior

It's been a shit tour, but we aren't as bad as we have shown.

England victory by an innings (and now for more sherry)
 

Cook, Carberry, Root, KP, Bell, Bairstow (I'd of kept Prior in), Stokes, Borthwick, Bresnan, Broad, Anderson?
 
Looking forward to this. A week or so ago I didn't want to see any cricket ever again but I'm coming round now. Hope we do see plenty changes, the new lads will have hunger atleast.

Cook, Carberry, Root, KP, Bell, Stokes, Bairstow, Borthwick, Rankin, Anderson, Panesar.

I know it won't be like but I'd love it to be.

Finn is bowling like a tit
 
Maybe he needs a run in the team like Root instead of the hokey cokey.
 
Maybe it is the coaching because he has it all to become the best quick bowler in the world.

Can we please win that toss for once? That would be progress.

With that coin the convicts are using it'll be a tall order ;) A bit of fight in our first innings wouldn't go amiss this time round. Maybe we could be within 50 runs of them after both teams have batted once? Probably asking too much of this team at the moment.

I've got a nasty feeling the Aussies feel they have a big score to settle after what happened 3 years ago, hopefully that will cloud their judgement and we can salvage something from this tour.
