Ballance to come in. World class player - and I've got his amazing record for Sussex over 10 seasons of International Cricket Captain to prove it.

In Bangladsh, just waiting for the call.

Ravi's Ashes.
It's time for the man to take centre-stage. Ozzies will be quaking in their sand-shoes.:cool:

Mind you I'd be happy with the Beard playing too, surely the most like-for-like replacement at 3?

Compton the most like-for-like replacement at 3 IMO.

England's side should be: Cook | Carberry | Bell | Pietersen | Ballance | Root | Prior | Broad | Swann | Anderson | Finn

Wish they had brought Compton instead of Stokes in the squad. Rankin the only other replacement for Tremlett and I don't think that's the way to go, yet.

When is Bresnan set to come back?

Adelaide is doomsday for England. The media aren't going to go any easier on them, so if they're like this after one loss, imagine what it's going to be like if they drop a second.

I said this previously but I think we've really missed a trick by not going Gabba-Perth 1-2.

That Cricinfo article posted by Spikey mentions that they could consider a second spinner. Obviously they won't, but interested to see who it would be if they did. Probably Fawad - especially for the variety if he was playing alongside Lyon - but you wonder whether SOK/anyone else has done enough to leapfrog him.

If they pick a second spinner I'm pretty sure they'd him to be able to bat, either that or they go 4 seamers with Faulkner coming in at 7, can't see Fawad or Doherty coming in. Agar could be a possibility with the bat but his bowling hasn't been great lately.

How about Ashton Turner? :ph34r:
