Any changes for the second test?
Finn in for Bresnan. 1-144 in the match isn't great, Finn is a wicket taker.

Yes, but he's 12 for 12!!!

Finn will play in the second test, Edgebaston is a faster, bouncier pitch and I think the management will want to rotate workload - watch for anderson and broad to be rested for the third test if we have already won the series.

[Talisman]

I cannot believe Finn hasn't had a game, either terrible or great management which we'll only know at the end of the summer....

I'd have to agree - Bresnan is one of my favourite players and I think he gets an unfair rep at some points, but on balance I think Finn is the call for Edgbaston.

[PedalsMcgrew]

I was actually more surprised that Onions didn't get the call for this particular test match........he seems to me the perfect bowler for the conditions and his record at Lords is pretty good.

Next test is Trent Bridge I think, which traditionally swings so think it will be unchanged.  Final test is at Edgbaston as I have tickets for the Friday

To be honest, I have always wondered how this Bresan guy is selected! Finn is a very good player all round, I don't know how many times Finn will have to prove himself. Poor fella sat out complete test series against Pakistan in UAE but when got a chance in ODIs he bambloozed Pakistan.

I'd rate him higher than Bresan.

England are always worried about batting so like to have Bresnan in but I agree Finn all the way for me as bres will go for less runs but finn will get you more wickets

With Finn in broad would be 8 swann 9 so if that lot can't get the runs they need to look at the batsmen not sacrifice a bowler to help them out

[tim2000s]

Think they have done very well with the players they have playing.

So many good players not playing for them.

Gayle,Nash,Sarwan,Bravo,Dwayne Smith,Andre Russell,Tino Best,Narine,Jerome Taylor,Pollard (not test),

Well, you can take one of them out easily... "Mind the windows"....

[Cover_Drive]

Why is Nash not playing? He was there vice captain at a time, he Is in county if I'm not mistaken so why not call him?

Roco agreed mate, to be honest I'd even take Ajmal Shahzad over Bresan.

I think Bresnan is underrated. Really hope he keeps his place for TB. One quiet game does not all of a sudden make him not good enough.

[uknsaunders]

think you'll need bresnan's batting at trent bridge. He'll get a bit more assistance from the conditions, as will all the bowlers - scary thought with Anderson!

Not saying what I said on premises of one test match.

The thing is, he's now moving it too much! beating the bat by quite a bit, when it could be seen that getting only a bit of movement can cause the most damage.
