Yeah, but hasn't bowled enough to play Tests. He only just played his first BBL game last night.

Patto fit, Patto play. It's basically a commandment.


(because it's just that simple....)
That's actually largely true I reckon, but if Johnson, Harris and Siddle are all fit in SA who makes way? Nice problem to have I suppose.

Very few people rate Bailey, today or weeks ago

I'm sorry but throwing in a young leggie when you're 4-0 down against this batting line-up seems crazy to me.

Looks like Matty Prior is back. Don't see the sense in dropping him for just one game. Looks like we are heading back to the bad old days of chopping and changing and then changing again. Madness.

Normally i'd agree but what have we got to lose?

Going to get hammered whether we play Panesaer, Tredwell or Borthwick so may as well bolster the batting.

Yeah, I could see Bresnan going for one of the other pacers but anymore than 1 change is silly.

Nah Borthwick's just a year late. Lets play Adil Rashid instead… oh wait, they're all the same, and all ****ing rubbish...

Seems all the press are going with this so probably true.

Pleasant surprise this side.

Scott Borthwick will get hammered all over Sydney. His pasting will make Simon Kerrigan's self destruction at the Oval seem like a walk in the park. We have not been able to live with Australia's aggression, planning and commitment. Can't say fairer than that. Better in every facet of the game.
