Wouldn't be surprised if Wood's gone by then as well, and I think we've all written off Woakes overseas now. It'll be pretty much an entirely different bowling attack in Australia.

Have we written off the next series in Australia already?

Immediately before we lost either match to go 0-2 down?

I didn't think it likely but there didn't seem to be anything else it could be.

Highest run total without a century?

Ask me in [checks calendar] 8months time. :lolol: Seriously though, without applying too much thought to it: 1 Crawley 2 Duckett 3 Bairstow 4 Root 5 Brook 6 Stokes 7 Foakes (w) 8 Ahmed (realistically, "whoever can bat a bit and bowl spin") 9 Wood 10 Robinson 11 Leach Could pick Anderson...

I definitely wouldn't want Bairstow keeping in India this winter.

We have a top class wicketkeeper, we need selectors willing to pick him.

Just remembered that Broad's first test 5fer was in the 2009 Oval test when Flintoff signed off by running out Ponting. Something nicely symmetrical about that.

I think some people were writing England off around the time they were 100/0. Anyway, one wicket often brings two and all that. I'm certainly never surprised when England lose from needing 120ish with only 3 down. You'll have to take my word for it that I'm not surprised by this turn of events...

I know that this isn't over yet by any stretch, and also that this is massive aftertiming on my part, but I never understand why some people are so quick to write off England's chances when the chasing team make a good start. Obviously you'd rather take early wickets than not, but unless you run...

Wood wasn't fit at the start of the series. A point Ian Chappell seems incapable of grasping in his columns for Cricinfo. You're not Ian Chappell are you? That would be a turn up. :lolol:

I've not seen the catch he's just taken, but consistently taking the easy catches relies on technique, practice and fitness. It doesn't have much to do with the ability to take screamers.

Even when I'm not watching, I'm immediately cheered by news that other people won't be subjected to watching that twat bat.

I blame the Imperial Cricket Conference.

He's made starts without going on, but I wouldn't go as far as to say "shocking". He scored a possibly match saving hundred in the last test match.

Broad hit the las Could be worse. There's no women's test at all next season.

Sure. I was born in Brighton, grew up in Newhaven and have gradually moved north since I have extended family in the area, it's cheaper to buy a house and Darlington's on the East Coast Mainline and A1. My ultimate aim is to get one of those jobs you see advertised sometimes where you live alone...

Stuart Broad's first match for England was a T20 against Pakistan that happened to coincide with Sussex playing Durham in the Pro40 up at Chester-Le-Street, a couple of days after the 2006 C&G final. Sussex won comfortably, Montgomerie top scoring, and I remember following Broad's debut by...
