Will be fun to see how many Aussies turn out for it

I really hope they give Morgan a chance to prove what he can do because he is in poll position to take over from Collingwood, and after Collys own admission earlier that he is probably going to retire soon, and they cant just chuck him in with very little experience next summer! But unless they replace Colly himself I cant think who else they will bring Morgan in for.

My prediction is probably an unchanged team unless they bring Finn back.

I can't see them bringing Finn back in after Tremlett/Anderson/Bresnan have bowled well

Harsh on Finn, but no need to change a winning team

What would everyone's view be if Colly got a big 'un?

I still think it's his time this series or have the next one at home as a kind of testimonial as he deserves it for all the crap he has got us out of down the years

It would be typical of colly to come good in this test, but, he has looked horribly out of touch so far

If he does thats great, but it would just be a great send off I think. There are so many good youngsters out there, like Morgan, James Taylor and even a slightly older head like Bopara would do a better job. He doesnt offer too much bowling anymore, except possibly in ODI's. The only thing I think he offers more than some other players is his fielding.
