Who's talking about England?

McGrath
Marshall
Ambrose
Donald
Wasim
Lillie
Hadlee
Bond
Holding

Don't get me wrong, Steyn is excellent, but the best ever? I think you've had too much XXXX

Who is Bond ?  the only one I know is 007

[L21]

James Anderson out for the remainder of this test and the next test match, possibly out for the rest of the series.

I wouldn't of been bothered if this was announced at Lords,

Time for Finn and Broad to step up.

Who will be the new bowler, suggesting that Wood is still injured.


Big big big loss in the view of opening bowlers for England.

[Alvaro]

Footitt
Jordan
Woakes

One of those three

Brookes or Plunkett, perhaps get a turner and take Rashid as well as Ali.

The bat first wicket gifted him his runs at Lords also it was pretty obvoius to anyone who saw the pitch before a ball was bowled that  which ever side batted first would get a big score.

It must Be really annoying that he averages more than any of the English batsmen and only 1 is even close. That and the fact he is the best test batsman in the world

It's not annoying Steven Finn.

What do you class as close? 

Smith only averages about 8 more runs per innings than Ballance :-)

Is Plunkett fit?

Is Plunkett fit?

He has been playing for Yorkshire recently.

Bold call but got to be Footitt for me. He bowls at a decent lick, bowls goood areas, takes wickets for fun all be it in Div 2. the variety of a lleft armer is a plus point for him too.

Personally I think that, they will go with Woakes. h had the nod last year he is a similar bowler to Jimmy (obviously no where near as good)

[uknsaunders]

Apart from the fact he's retired, isn't Sidebottom still the closest swing bowler to Anderson? I can't think of many genuine swing bowlers playing county cricket, though I would admit I don't watch much CC!

[Johnny]

Woakes is only just returning to county cricket after a long lay off.

How's Onions getting along these days? I always felt he was considered too similar to Jimmy, otherwise he'd have played more test cricket.

That said, I expect they will go with someone who has been in and around the set up more recently

[Buzz]

Sidebottom or Woakes for me. This isn't the time for a new cap.

[Johnny]

Sidebottom won't be considered, he's retired from international cricket

[Akewstick]

Isn't Mark Wood back available for next test?
