Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.

No Obvious Flaws



Commentators have been saying for the last 2.5 days the pitch isn't dry, the square is green and the outfield is lush.

Now pondering after 30 overs whether there may be some reverse swing because historically when the pitch is dry, the square is dry and the outfield is dry it reverses.

[edit] Oh, and Wasim and Waqar used to play.

Seems from what I have watched and listened to when the longer form was being played at County (lol late April / early May Cricket!) there are a few youngster who could do no worse.

My pick is Rory Burns.

Jos Buttler is the perfect man for this situation. A quick fire 50 off 30 and should be right

We have avoided an innings defeat and Buttler has made a half-ton. The most moral of moral victories imo

Shockingly well played recovery by England, and who knows, if they can somehow manage to scratch a lead of ~150 or so it might make for an interesting fourth day

Any guesses?

Here was the team from that game:

Warner
Renshaw
Smith
S.Marsh
Handscomb
Maxwell
Wade
Cummins
O'Keefe
Lyon
Hazlewood

My money is on O'Keefe and Wade - lesser lights at the end of their career trying to cash in.

Shaun Marsh made a 50 with a strike rate of 26 so if it's about batting slowly for a bit I'm putting my money there
