    Showing rain all day Monday and tuesday next week aswell and that's as far as it goes. But clearly not reliable as saying 24 and sunny now and its drizzling.

    Could be swing around.

    Hope the strip isn't as dry as they tend to be in the UK these days.

    Why we're laying pitches to suit the aussies I do not know.

    Cheeky git. I've never denied being bicurious or pansexual.

    Joe Burns should open with Warner. He can't bat any worse than Harris or Khawja and the poms dont bowl as well against right handers

    You're right, that's just how I'd describe Warne.

    Not unexpected, but Jimmy will miss the fourth test.

    Added: And fifth.

    Crap decision.

    Ask any Surrey follower.

    Stokes has saved Roy, which just makes no sense.

    I, like most Aussies, am very happy to see Roy included.

    From the reports I've read, he was more interested in getting back to the nets for some one on one training rather than fucking about against Derbyshire.

    Actual game time will help him but it seems, and as this game is proceeding he will not need to bat again.

    Very unlikely he'll ever play again against the Aussies.

    Father Time catches up with everyone, but what a bowler he's been over his career. Especially in tandem with the much maligned Broad.

    It's down to Root to negate Smith's contribution.

    Little sign of that happening so far.

    ^ I've got a mate, Scottish funnily enough, who's always on Root's back as a captain. He can't fucking stand him; I get messages when I'm halfway through a jungle hammering his captaincy.

    After the series he's had, I'd be behind Stokes eventually getting the job and Root going back to what he does best. Whether the toffs would go for that, I'm not so sure, but he's certainly shown he's got broad shoulders and a rapidly maturing brain to go with his ability.

    Yeah, I can see the reasoning there.

    Just haunted by memories of how Botham bungled it.

    However if the captain can't score the runs to justify his selection then it might have to happen.

    Or maybe Broad?
