Where's Narine, Shillingford, Bishoo?
Does Sammy know he's allowed to pick a spinner?
I posted that same question earlier
What happened to Benn???
what do ppl think about shoving Bairstow up the order at this point especially if we get to 200 b4 we lose another wicket?
I think Lumb should've played instead of Bairstow...
3 days and a session left, no need to do it, imo
always going to be debate about that, but this stage in this match...
I dont think he`ll get a bat, we`ll declare on 600-1
true there is quite a bit of time left.

================
not very much.
no need for this at all. you cant disrespect the opposition - this is a test match.
England should declare now
Why put Bairstow in next when you've got Pietersen?
KP needs a rest after IPL
Are we batting very well....or are they just cack....
To give Bairstow a chance to develop as a test batsman (more than coming in when England are 450-4, then he's almost guaranteed to fail), more pressure coming in now, see what he's really made of.
Bairstow will show what he's really made of against Steyn and Co. Other than Roach, this Windies attack is pretty poor.
true, but will he be playing in that series if he doesn't get a chance now
39 overs to be bowled in final session, I see a fine and a warning for Sammy looming.

It just doesnt happen in test matches mate. the only time you'll see the batting line up changed is on the afternoon of the 5th day during a run chase.
yeah, i know it wont happen, just a musing really.
any way back to the cricket Trot 50
Bairstow will play all three games in this series so he'll get his chance to shine. Anyway in this game England will want over 600 in this innings.
Strauss should go for Lara's record
my take is they'll be looking to get as bigger lead by the last 10 overs of tomorrow then put them in...
