England name unchanged squad for final test

Long time no hear rich, I hope all is well with you mate. Had a good summer? We can't complain about test match cricket can we?

yeah its been above average

i do most of my posting on another forum , just pop on here occasionally

Good to see this forum is too good for you to not to pop into now and again

A lot of good England cricket fans on here, and even some good Indian ones too on the odd occasion their team is doing something quite well. I haven't seen them for a couple of weeks though. Probably due to religious reasons

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see changes in the pace attack. Broad and Bresnan will be playing T20 and ODI games after this series so one or both could be rested for Tremlett on his home turf.
The schedule of 4 T20 and 15 ODI games at home and in India this year is a lot for the same bowlers to play.

It sounds very unloyal but I hope Bopara flops. That number 6 spot is the only position up for discussion dor me, Morgan has done OK.

But I want Taylor in there.

No way should we bring in fringe players like Finn and Shahzad.

Winning a Test Match is an achievement in itself. Bringing in Tremlett would be fine because he's a central figure in this side when fit, and he would be suited to the Oval pitch.

But 'resting' Anderson/ Broad/ Finn for a Test Match against India would be wrong.

Well it looks like I am getting my wish after all Andersen out and one of the bowlers I wanted to see will play. Fantastic. This series is over and my interest has almost gone due to the lack of competition on show.

Brilliant that we can try another man and that makes this test far more exciting for me. Personally I would have put out an entire B team against India because lets be honest, they can not take 20 wickets. I will take the draw and gladly send India packing.

Maksi, did you see our young Lions were walloped by SL "A' the other day.

I did mate, 10 wickets, but we are not playing Sri Lanka, we are playing a rather weak India :p

We won the first game...
