    *Official* 3rd Test at Edgbaston

    Whats the Aussie opinion on Lyon? As an England fan I think the guy is as good a spinner as anyone in the world right now, but he doesn't seem to get a mention

    *Official* 3rd Test at Edgbaston

    Why the hell are England even looking at Finn? Just when you think they've turned a corner they do what they've always done and go back to old failures. Footitt must be cursing the selectors, probably the best bowler in the country bar Anderson and Broad when hes on song and can't even get a...

    Pick a combo- third test

    Cook Rogers Smith Root Bairstow (should be keeping, much better with the gloves than Buttler) Bell (last chance saloon for him always results in a hundred) Stokes Lyon Jimmy Hazelwood Ali

    Lees is having a **** time of it now to be fair. Bairstow and Leaning are the big thing at the moment

    8th thread - pick the Aus attack at Cardiff

    I really can't believe you guys would drop Starc for Johnson. If Harris hadn't retired I'd of definitely dropped Johnson. Hes by far and away the weak link of the bowling attack, unless you give him the perfect track to bowl on, which England clearly aren't going to do.

    Player Ratings thread

    Cook 6 and Lyth 4 seems a bit off. Cook had a good game as captain, but he doesn't deserve better than average for his 32 runs. Lyth had a below average game, but his 2nd innings partnership with Bell was vital in the context of the game.

    Watson & Marsh

    I can't remember ever thinking Watson was a quality test cricketer, and even before the first game as an England fan was delighted to see him batting at 6, him and Haddin are clear weak links. If I was going into that first test I'd of played a proper number 6 batsman, as the batting is a major...

    Ashes Predictions

    Result 2-1 England Leading run scorer Adam Lyth Wicket taker-Burnley Lara Surprise package Voges Failure-Warner (can't see him making more than 200 runs for the series) Dropping-given Englands selectors it could be anyone, but I'll take Stokes after 1 bad game

    *Official* New Zealand in England 2015

    Loving the new England, need a better bowling attack though. Willey isn't great with the ball, Wood can be expensive, and so can Finn. What does Mark Footitt have to do to get a game? Hes the best bowler on the county circuit and England won't even look at him. Any reason the kiwis aren't...

    I thought he was supposed to be injured and not playing last I heard?

    *Official* New Zealand in England 2015

    Root is world class,but some of the others have been poor today. Lyth you can't really fault, but cooks shot was bad, and ballance was absolutely piss poor. Bells was a beauty so you can't really call him out on it. Unfortunately for Lyth it seems a lot of England 'fans' have already written him...

    Trott retires from international cricket

    Great player, but if he feels done then hes done the right thing. Brilliant player, but we've got some brilliant young batsmen coming through, and I'm excited to see them get their chance.

    ***Official*** England in West Indies 2015

    Obviously Steyn is the much better bowler over a career, but either one at their best a batsman has absolutely no chance, no matter who you are. By far and away the best 2 seamers of this generation

    Jimmy at his best is as good as steyn. Shame Broad looks useless

    ***Official*** England in West Indies 2015

    You seem to have a lot more faith in the ecb than I do...would sticking with Trott be any worse than sticking with Moores after his debacle at the world cup?

    ***Official*** England in West Indies 2015

    You'd think so, but I wouldn't be surprised if he keeps his place with a fifty, and Lyth carries the drinks before opening in the ashes

    ***Official*** England in West Indies 2015

    Bit of a problem considering we don't have a spinner

    ***Official*** England in West Indies 2015

    Is it just me or does Ali look like a walking wicket right now? He looks more like a 9 than a 6. So disappointed to see Trott and Jordan starting too. Neither is a test quality cricketer at this stage

    ***Official*** England in West Indies 2015

    Seems an easy decision really, Jordan out, Rashid in. Makes the batting and bowling stronger
