ok, now i have convinced you about that idea, what about this one ?
free strauss up by moving him down the order.
cook
trott
bell
pietersen
strauss
prior
broad
how about it ?
Personally I'm a great believer that scoreboard pressure is better than the extra bowler, Although I would be hard pressed to name another batsmen to replace an injured Trott. Perhaps Chopra at 3 on his home ground would be an idea. Hopefully Trott will prove his fitness in time.
"Leave out Swann.He has looked toothless against the right handers.He hasnt even managed to beat the edge of a right handed batsman in this series.The two wickets that he got were down to the batsmen playing across the line.I know the wickets havent suited him but I think India would much rather face Swann than Tremlett or Bresnan."
No no no no no. The guy averages below 30, a strike-rate of a wicket every 59 balls, and a an economy below 3!
Hes played two games where theres been nothing for spinners. At Lords he played an important role in holding up an end, in both innings'. Here he simply wasn't needed, that happens.
Dropping Swann should class you as insane along with putting your underpants on your head and sticking pencils up your nose.
And I would keep Bresnan for Edgbaston, give Tremlett an extra week to recover for the bounciest wicket in England.
