England call up Finn

England have called up Steven Finn ahead of the second test this morning as cover for Chris Tremlett if he hasn't recovered from his hamsting problem, I really hope he isn't injured cause I don't want Finn in the team, why isn't Bresnan getting the nod if he does get injured, I know it's all to do with like for like replacements but in my opinion Bresnan adds for to the team than Finn. It's not like Finn is a confrontational or intimidatory bowler like Tremlett who's built like a brick you know what house.

I think they have brought him in to give an option. Listening to the radio this morning, the talk was about Bresnan doing well should he play.

I think Finn took 4 for not very many in the CB40 yesturday against Derbershire, but Bresnan is the better replacement, especially if it swings, and it means we bat even longer than we do now.

Yeah only watched up until his forth then went out so didn't catch his 5th

Yes better choice in my opinion

Finn is a better bowler IMO. He is young and has something special. Will be the lead of our attack in a couple of years. Bresnan's a pie muncher with limited ability....

Consilio

Bresnan is a great all round cricketer, he's worked hard to get his weight off and it has payed dividents, he was great in the Ashes and had a bowling average of something like 15, I must admit when he first came on the scene I didn't think he was a great choice but when I saw him in the Ashes I saw what he could do and he's a great man to have in the squad because he offers a bit of everything.

Bresnan is only 25, and the swinging conditions will suit his bowling better than Finn's. Plus with him in the team, we have the top 10 all with FC tons.

Perhaps I was a little harsh on big Tim, as you can probably tell i'm a Finn fan!

Their resective test records are similar...

Finn has took 50 @ 26.92
Bresnan 25 @ 28.28

Bresnan is obviously the more talented batsman.

Here's hoping he picks a few up in this match and has a decent knock with the bat

good to see bresnan in the team - finn was called up a extra cover he's a top prospect he'll get his chance
