Tredwell for the better this time. I think he's average and still do, but he's never let England down.

He's also miles better than Lyon. Lyon was outbowled by Clarke yesterday. Clarke didn't need the "Jeff" mystery ball, he just turned the thing!

Don't hate Geoff!  Absolutely cracking bloke, and a Palace hero to boot.  Not to mention all his charity work for Leukamia research...

I think Swanny has probably exceeded expectations - and by a vast amount. Came in as support spinner and became indispensable.
