I wouldn't be suprised. And no doubt he'd be making mega bucks in the IPL if he wanted to.

Cric info makes Swann & Prior the likely fall guys http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/701391.html It would be good news for Sussex to have Prior back with a point to prove next year.

And I had forgotten it as well - that was an incredible knock. That's the thing with Pietersen. He's Mr. frustrating but he is capable of playing innings that only the elite world players are capable of playing. Note, I am not calling him an elite player but that he is capable of playing that...

Firstly can I just say that even I a staunch defender of Pietersen would consider saying thanks but no thanks in test cricket now. If wants to play ODI's & 20/20's then the place is there for him. I suspect he wouldn't after the world cup. BUT He's not been shit for "years." He's not been...

I'm not sure the County Cricket thing is a ll that important. I mean you don't see Michael Clarke turning out for New South Wales too much either...

A massively interesting stat on Cric Info today Since December 2011, no one has faced more deliveries in international cricket than Cook, with Bell and Trott also featuring in the top five. In the same period, no seamer has bowled more deliveries than Anderson or Broad and only R Ashwin has...

We need a Noah's Ark type flood I suspect. We'd have half a hope if a Cook or Bell were still there but there's no-one really capable of playing that sort of innings left. The best we can hope for is Stoke's maiden hundred and Bres & Prior to find some form. I don't think we'll make it past lunch.

Pretty tough on Bresnan I'd say. He's only 28, he's got decent test figures with bat and ball & is only just back from a serious injury, he's defianately a man to have in and around the squad, even if he isn't a definite starter. Other than that I agree with your squad surgery.

I'm interested in what makes you say "right hand man." Is it from a chuck him the ball and he'll get a wicket sense? Because I've never really been under the impression that Swann & Cook are particuarly close. Sure they say the right things about each other in public but I think Cook probably...

I wonder what price you would have got on Ben Stokes being England's first centurion of the series a few weeks ago. It could well happen. He's looking like the only positive from this series so far. Long term it would be a massive positive to have an all rounder who makes the team for his...

I'm normally advsing against wholesale changes but I'd like to see before the series is out; Ballance for Pietersen (I'm his staunchest defender on here but perhaps the time has come to move on in Test cricket, he still has a place in the ODI's and T20's if he wants it.) Bairstow for Prior...

Do you remember day 4 at the WACA, on the whitewash tour, when Adam Gilchrist hit the 2nd fastest ever Test Match century? I think that was worse, just.

I'm not suprised that this thread lay dormant this morning, another day of gutless ineptitude from England. I'm not sure enough has been made of Darren Lehmann's role in this. He took over a young and talented but underperforming side with some massive selection issues (they didn't even know...

Time for me to resume a normal life then rather than watch this s***. Still fancy England to pick up a result before the series is done, they have a good record in Melbourne & Sydney and are due to win at least a toss.
