Touch and go, I understand and even if he is he won't have time to get too many overs under his belt.

Never did the Windies any harm though! But yes essentially this is what I'm saying. Jimmy is really the only one who moves the ball, Stokes on occasion has the ability to swing the ball (both ways) but I wouldn't rely on it.

Onions has a good right to feel aggrieved. He's taken over 140 CC wickets in the last 2 seasons at a smidgen over 18. Never let England down in the past either. If Jimmy went down, the bowling looks very one dimensional, unless Breslad gets fit.

Oh give over won't you, cricket is easily avoided, the press barely pays attention unless it's the Ashes, it's not on terestial TV (aside from a woeful highlights show & the IPL,) hell you even have to turn over to Sports Extra on the radio. Football takes complete precedence over it in every...

I don't disagree with you but I think they got badly burnt by the Kerrigan selection and didn't want to risk exposing another untested spinner in the Ashes. Let's all be honest here, if Swann were to get injured, we can be fairly sure that Monty would do a decent job (with the ball anyhow....)

Root will open, no doubt. The only decision is 6.

I think this decision stinks. Compton did more than enough to be part of this side, however, I think his response to being dropped was frowned upon. I get a feeling this is a personality decision rather than a playing skill or track record decsion. Who bats at 6 then? Given his form in the last...

Same here, sort of. I'm not sure they had a choice after Kerrigan's failing & Tredwell's gargantuan 14 CC wickets this season. Where else could they go?
