Didn't England drop Anderson and not play him for a few years while he worked on his game and came back stonger?

Oh I don't think we should go back to those days, i just think Finn's been poor a while and needs sort himself out in a less pressured environment

Bresnan and Onions know how to bowl an over. If Finn goes for a boundary on the first or second ball of an over, he seems to just disintegrate now and panic

Finn's looked a bit lost this year, he's tinkering too much with his run-up and needs a spell in CC to figure out what he's doing. Bresnan in which will also strengthen the batting

Even if they and Bell don't score runs this could all be about batting time. Not for the draw but for the fact that we'll have two spinners on something that should be pretty messy at the end of Day 4 and for Day 5. KP got Clarke out last series as well.

Where's that really good middle order batsmen gone? Oh we've moved him up the order so we're left with Unfulfilled and Promising

I think the only mistake they made was picking him in the first place. He wasn't awful, and the press were poor to him, but all you could blame the ECB for is giving him a game

They played him one game, he didn't do great, they didn't select him for the next match, How is that treating him badly?

It seems to run in the family. There was an article on him the other day where his dad was having a whinge about how badly his brother was treated by the English cricket.

Mine was more of a dig about the Aussies spin options. But for a part-timer he is bloody good

Swann might have a battle on his hands to be the best spinner in this series. Roots improving all the time
