Siddle, Clark and Lee are as different as Anderson, Broad and Flintoff.

And the rest?

Panesar (current) and Hauritz...not much difference.

I was just comparing right arm seamers.

Sidebottom vs Johnson

Experience vs Youth

Jesus vs Midge

Sidebottom won't even play though.

I reckon he'll get a test. He'll play at Cardiff over Onions.

They could do with his left arm variation and accuracy.

Sidearse won't play.

They've made their poxy minds up it'll be 3 seamers, 2 spinners.

There has been no indication he will.

Did he even go with the squad to Belgium?

Can't I just live in a fantasy world up until 11am on July 8th?

My attack for T1 would be...

Anderson
Sidebottom
Broad
Flintoff
Swann

Rob Croft said it's going to be a bunsen.

Mine would be Onions for Sidebottom.

Anderson has the swing covered & Broad can swing it.

Onions would be more useful than Sidders on a 4th/5th day wicket.

Believe me if we've picked our side because of what Rob Croft says, when only 20% of wickets have fallen to spin at Cardiff this year we deserve to lose...

All we need is one specialist spinner to be one up on the Aussies as I doubt they'll pick Hauritz.

We just need Australia to bat 2nd and make it to day 5 when chances are the pitch will be at its turning best.
