Series XI

[GIMH]

Seems unlikely much will happen to change our minds on this tomorrow so here goes

Root
Rogers
Watson ()
Clarke
Bell
Pietersen
Haddin
Broad
Swann
Harris
Anderson

Siddle unlucky. Been more consistent than our quicks but hasn't had that defining spell.

Smith probably deserves to be in over KP but I don't like his face. Watson arguably deserves exclusion for coming to the party too late. Root questionable as well, in fact I would argue Bell is the only nailed on batting selection

 

[Cabinet96]

Pretty much agree with the line up. Cook v Root and Smith v Pietersen/Clarke the only things I might consider changing.

 

[grecian]

One day to go ****, it will all change when kegga and Woakes claim an unlikely victory, to make history.

 

[Howe_zat]

There's one day to go.

 

[Furball]

Anyone want to guess who'll miss out on my side?

 

[Cabinet96]

Trott.

 

[Furball]

I might actually side with Cook over Root. Would need to think it through.

 

[GIMH]

There's one day to go.

Which is why I've opened by saying that it seems unlikely anything will change tomorrow

I hope it does as it would surely mean the series hasn't ended in such a damp squib

Well that's no excuse, think how we feel after nearly 45 k of posts with only a great plateau of mediocrity.

We all know you have every single one of those bookmarked

Yep but still the CPS do nothing about it, apparently being cretinously tedious isn't a crime.

 

[Spark]

Would do the same tbh

 

[Riggins]

I would have smithy in there over watson. bell can bat three.

Can't really fault this. Tempted to say Smith for Watson as he came to the party a lot earlier. Would be tempted to say Siddle ahead of Anderson if he wakes up today, but it's unlikely.

 

[Spikey]

Cook
Rogers
Watson
KP
Bell
Smith
Haddin
the usual bowling attack

don't really like watson at 3 but I can't put Trott there.

 

[GIMH]

Anderson put in the best bowling performance of the series, IMO. Same reason why I didn't have to think much about putting Clarke in there.

 

[Spikey]

Agar put in the finest batting performance ****

 

[BoyBrumby]

Think Clarke/KP at #4, perming 2/3 of Broad, Anderson and Siddle for the two seamers who aren't Harris & ditto Cook, Rogers and Root for the two opening spots are the only serious discussion points.
