Morning all - so only a few days to go until the third test. The question is simple - who will get the final spot in the England team?

If this was the Vaughan/Hussain and Fletcher era, Bresnen would be a shoe in - but this is Strauss and Flower.

Will they take a bit of a gamble on Tremlett or will they stick to the "next cap off the rank" Bresnen who can bat a bit too..

If it was Finn out then I think Tremlett would be a shoe in, but as it is Broad and the pitch is the WACA this is a bit of a tough call. Then again the Ausies haven't looked like knocking us over twice at any stage this series.

Vote now!! I think they will go for Bresnen in a safety first move, but would be happy to be proved wrong.

I think it will be Bresnan - he is the solid, dependable choice.  If we had a 5 man attack, then one of the other two would be the more attacking option.  But you know that Bresnan can be relied upon.

I think Bresnan I hope Tremlett

I hope they go for Tremlett as with his added height will take advantage of what I hear this morning is likely to be a pitch that will only last for 4 days. However, my instint tells me they will go for Bresnan for his all round ability

[RoCo Da Pixie]

I hope Tremlett, But feel it will be Bresnan

[Howzat]

Apparently Tremlett has been bowling really well in the nets so I hope he gets selected

[jimba101]

i think all 3 of them are rather un-inspiring! i reckon they will go with tremlett. my pick would be shahzad

[Buzz]

I have been bowling realy well in the nets too... not sure I will get selected though

You need to work on your twitter-ing before you get selected Buzz, it's poor!

[Buzz]

I'm not on and am not a fan of Twitter, but I take your point - I will open an account asap and start tweeting about my 90mph away swinging, rearing off a length and unbelieveably accurate bowling as of 12pm.

not sure I will get any believers though!

[Johnny]

I know it's good to have have a bowler who can bat at a bit at 8, but Swann can do that job anyway.

I'd like to see Tremlett in too.

I think they will go with Tremlett on a 'hirses-for-courses' basis, even though Bresnan is really next in line

[Tom]

I'd go for Tremlett - he's one of the most feared on the county circuit and with a couple of Aussies looking susceptible to the short ball I'd give him a go. Don't really rate Bresnan.

[Simmy]

im going Bresnen cos he can bat as well

[eaowbear]

According to the Guardian, Tremlett is going to play:
