10 days to go until the test series begins in the carribean... The series between 2 giants of cricket (irony).
England should win with ease. due to the w-indies being vastly depleated. But with England you never know.
Be interesting to see who England chose to open the innings.. Trott of Lyth.The wickets are slow over in the carribean these days. so should be good for batting.
No idea who will be in the west-indies 11..I suspect Chanderpaul will be there. Hes very close to becoming leading run scorer for them.
Glad test cricket is back

KP sure knows how to keep himself relevant.....gotta be bought back into the fold....and all players told.....get on with it.....everybody can't get along all of the time.

Owd Straussy will have a sweat on. Not the ideal first day in his new job

Against Australia he is needed,someone that has scored runs under pressure and is now hungrier than ever,let's face it he could make far more money ala Gayle if he wanted but he has unfinished business,far less ridiculous than Trotts selection.
If ecb want to get people interested in the game which is their responsibilty too picking KP to balance out the non-personalities in that team is vital.

Let's get this in reality. He's scored runs against by far and away the poorest team in the country. There 4 day record is nothing short of shambolic
Very impressive still, and if he was an opener there would be a much bigger argument to get him in the team

But would he displace balance, bell or root?? Not for me

Old boys network close ranks and when your face don't fit you don't play as was mentioned on 5live tonight.
Chris Read told 'go and score runs blah blah' did for nigh ten years and never picked again.
