So who is gonna get a run out in the test side?

[Lord Snooty]

Same as the Sri Lanka matches I would imagine. Ben Stokes to fit in as well when he's ready. Can't think of any new names coming in unless they decide to bring Roy in to see how he fits in.

[Lord Snooty]

Ballance recalled and Toby Roland Jones is in for the injured Anderson.

[jjamez]

Getting rather fed up of our selectors and some of their policies.

Ballance has averaged 33 this year, yet the likes of hildreth borthwick and westley average higher this year and are arguably in better form.

Also with the tours to the subcontinent coming up a look at westley or borthwick would be ideal considering. But no theyve done what they always seem to do and go for the defensive option. I thought they were getting better when they were looking at playing buttler as a batter or considering roy as a test player. But they've regressed

Cue ballance getting a 500 ball 50 or a duck!
