I think it will be a very even series, I don't like Root as an opener and think it was a mistake to take Finn instead of Onions. The one good thing is if we get on top the Aussie media will crucify their team and undermine their self belief, they're even worse than British press.

I think Carberry will open with Root dropping down to 6

Cook
Carberry
Trott

Bell

Looks good to me Marky, Tremlett was brilliant out there last time hope he can do the same this time

 

[markysimmo]

Yeh defo loves a fast bouncy pitch does Tremlett..

Match against Australian XI on Sky tonight 23.30, going to have a kip soon so I can watch

 

[markysimmo]

318/0 or 0/318 depending on where you come from

Carberry and Cook both with 150s

Nice

 

[Jurgen the German]

Root and Cook need to up their game in this series. They were both below par and so fecking boring to watch.

[awesome dawson]

Watson, Harris and Clarke are all potential major injury worries - what happens if two or more of them break down on day 1?

[P.D.]

Greatest player in the history of the game plays his final match tomorrow, salute.

 

[awesome dawson]

should have quit a couple of years ago at least. Recent average is terrible.

 

[P.D.]

Still has a higher average than anyone in the England team.

 

[Superted]

Greatest player in the history of the game plays his final match tomorrow, salute.

Fix your picture link. It's showing a pic of Tendulkar, not Don Bradman.

 

[awesome dawson]

Still has a higher average than anyone in the England team.

So?

My point is that over the last four or five years he's been a passenger.

 

[Mulletperm]

Greatest player in the history of the game plays his final match tomorrow, salute.

Up with the greatest, but not the greatest.

 

[markysimmo]

Always loved watching the little master bat, but as a few say above he has been nothing more than a passenger for the past few years, do hope he goes out with a bang though

 

[markysimmo]

Cook and Trott in he runs today, Cook looks in ominous form so far in the warm up games

 

[P.D.]

So?

My point is that over the last four or five years he's been a passenger.

which only shows how great he was in his prime.

 

[markysimmo]

78 for the LM today, shame he didnt get to 100

Thanks Sachin
