They declared after 50 overs?? I think its pretty apparent where the focus is..they are trying to find a bowler who can dish it back to the Aussies!! Does this performance do any good to Mills' chances of playing in the third test?

He probably just fancied a game.  :)

Bairstow scored a ton in the 2nd innings when they were chasing 340 odd to win. They declared their 1st innings with Robsom scoring a ton and Balance 89

I'd be very surprised seeing as the next test starts less than 24 hours after this game has finished. Also hugely surprised that Rogers played the full game for the same reason. Could be 14 straight days cricket for him!

Oh yeah..strange for Rogers to play then..probably he felt like he wasn't in the best of forms..although this match wouldn't have done too much good to his confidence! :D..

Cricinfo haven't updated their scorecard.

Maybe Rogers had his knock and then went back to the Aussie practice?

That's also a possibility. I see that the teams were 14-a-side, name 11 to bat, 11 to bowl! Good thinking batman!

Played against that Dixon who's bowling against them and played in a earlier tour match against the full England set up! Young lad but quickest I've seen!

No. He is not in the England squad.  He is there as a net bowler and EPP.

Bresnan, Bairstow and Ballance have all put good performances to warrant consideration, depending how the England management want to set the team up.  It will be an interesting decision.

Honestly, I would have thought the fact that both Bairstow and Balance played in this game, would mean they won't play tomorrow. Essentially, there will be what 15 hours between Bairstow finishing his knock and potentially fielding in the heat. I guess he would have kept wicket too for the EPP, so that's 7 days continuously in the heat (-45 overs of their first innings)

it's ok bairstow and ballance are batsman, not like they do much apart from hit boundaries and stand around in the field  :)

Buttler was in the team so presume he kept. does seem a little odd to play them if they have chance of playing in the test. maybe they are thinking they are young and fit so they will be ok.

Unless the Cricinfo scorecard was wrong, Bairstow was down to keep! Will be interesting to see what happens for sure!

Buttler, Bairstow and Foalkes all playing wasn't it, Buttler was down as keeper in the scorecards I saw.

Yeah, that is quite a big ask for a ginger lad...

I think it is a toss up between fitness and a bit of middle time.

I saw a cross-thing showing Bairstow was keeping, at least in the 1st inns.
