Agree with other posters in that I dont think we'll see a debut but I wouldn't mind seeing Virdi given a go.

Root has said the only spinners considered are the 2 in the �actual� squad. So that definitely rules Virdi/Parkinson out.

Not surprising, can't see that it would be beneficial for either of them to be thrown into this game. Parkinson hopefully gets a bit of a go in the white ball stuff.

Totally agree with others here if we were going to try Virdi or Parkinson they should of at least had one test in SL, it's not really a game for debuts.

One seamer def will be left out, I know others won't agree but I def would not play Archer, he's a non batting bowler so Bess in for him.

I was real impressed with Stone, it's gonna be spin dominated again we think but I'd have him in probably leaving abroad out, just in case the wicket goes up and down after a day or so.

England probably will just make the one change for Bess to come in thou, they will want Archer in I think.i think Broad may miss out from the final 11 for Bess.

Would agree you need one of Archer or Stone in, especially given that Stokes doesn't seem to be capable of bowling much at the minute.

He's hasn't bowled much at all, im not convinced he is fully fit to bowl.

He hasn't actually been that effective in this series, he's done some amazing things for us but nothing here. I guess everyone e has an off series now and again.

Must be a really tough situation for England...do they pick their best XI, aim for a win knowing that the win would mean that arch rivals Australia qualify for the WTC finals...or they do use the 4th test as a good oppurtunity to try out their bench strength.

I don't think England will be thinking about the WTC at all, just purely on levelling the test series.

It's a pretty tough ask to just win this match, I can't believe anything else is in their thinking at all.

Bess in for Broad would be my only change.

A sensible post.

Good point. I say throw the test. The Aussies don't deserve to qualify on sportsmanship alone. They're still cheating, still sledging unfunny, pure aggression. Fck 'em. I only hope that they end up being marginalised as the only team in world cricket playing that way and their public turn against them.

They won't do but I would like to see an extra batter, I really don't see the need for 2 seamers and Stokes if we are going to get another pitch like we have had.

Stokes clearly isn't fit to bowl though

TBF we would only need 1 seamer on a pitch like the last one anyways and the way we are playing the more batting the better!

I'd go Bess, Stone and Virdi for Broad Archer and Anderson myself.
