The pink test (Sydney)
« on: December 29, 2013, 03:24:37 PM »
What are your thoughts
Do you reckon England will win one ? Or will it be a whitewash ?

Whitewash? Nah, pinkwash, quite possibly.

The only pink we'll be seeing in this test will be the colour of England's arses when they get spanked again!!

Who thinks Prior will be back? Wasn't that impressed with Bairstow with the bat or gloves.

Well, the good news is the England head in to this test unbeaten this calendar year (for those in Australia).

Can't see them bringing prior back tbh. I agree Bairstow's batting wasn't great (though no worse than Prior's), but didn't really see anything wrong with his keeping. 6 catches,  generally solid glovework, aside from day 5, when the whole side had a 'mare in the field. I think he acquitted himself pretty well.

Word on the street is that Ballance and Borthwick are in for Carberry and Panesar.
So Root to push up and open then.

Cook
Root
Bell
KP
Ballance
Stokes
Bairstow

Do feel for root. Still if they settle on him opening for a few series then that's good

I understand Finn's confidence / Rythm is shot & Tremletts pace has gone so will be packed off back to Surrey but did Rankin leave Andy Flowers case at the airport or something?! Bresnan has never let England down but we're playing in Aussie conditions not headingley in May! Please a tall 90mph bowler please!

Rankin had a decent ODI series back in blighty so surely must be worth a punt or why bother taking him. Surely if Borthwick is going to play he can bat at 8.

Carbs hasn't done brilliantly but he hasn't been the worst batsman. The only time I have seen Ballance bat was against the Irish in an ODI and I am sure he didn't trouble the scorer at all in that game. Someone correct me if my memory is playing tricks but I am sure he got a big fat zero against Trent Johnson and hes not quite the same bowler as Mitchell Johnson.

Xavier Doherty got Pieterson out a while ago so he shouldn't be judged by who has got him out. He's been picked for his county performances against decent attacks. We can judge him like Compton and Carberry before him, against a test attack. It cant be easy to come in for one test as the selectors might have a different direction in the summer. Hopefully he does well and he's had runs with the EPP so that's a bonus.
