Declare before play today and get stuck in to em!!!!!

I think, drag the bowlers onto the field this morning, attack from the off, then send them in for a few (maybe 5+) overs before lunch.

Play starts earlier so I think they should go out for a while this morning and just try and smash everything.

Warne would be foolish or patriotic to don the whites again.
He would turn the ball but get hammered and he knows this not the England of old.
Would be sad to see him come back as he left as an absolute legend with no comparison.

England are poor players of spin, so I doubt Warne would get battered.

IPL is nothing like Test cricket. Dale Steyn gets mauled in the IPL, yet in Test cricket he's amazing.

If Warne returned he'd be the best Aussie bowler on show

Disagree with England being poor against spin, Pietersen Bell and Strauss play them extremely well, admittedly Colly Cook and Trott not so much, but we certainly wouldn't get torn through. He'd still be the best bowler on show, not gonna argue that at all!

Completley agree and could see warne doing some damage, anyone who can turn a ball like that will always pose a threat (more than doherty anyway!)

100% agree

Pietersen is a fabulous player of spin, Warne has the wood over Bell and Strauss.

Warne did over most batsman around the world. Collingwood and Bell are fantastic players of spin.

Bring back Warne! lol

Bell's good vs mediocre spinners, like Bangladesh, yet is found wanting against top class spinner. Collingwood is ok, nothing to shout out about. Pietersen head and shoulders ahead of his team-mates.

Warne does look fitter than his playing days though haha.
It would be bad for him IF he did as he'd be on the end of a losing cause and it wouldn't say much about Australian cricket.

He'd also always be remembered for it.

[Colesy]

Not necessarily sure KP is the best against spin. I'd say Bell is better, Pietersen maybe more destructive.

If Warne came back, it would give the australian dressing room a MASSIVE lift!
