Watch Chris Tremlett causing havoc amongst the Aussie batsmen!

According to the BBC Sport website: "Yet to begin", does this mean a that another draw is on the cards?

Oh No. Not a draw at all. An emphatic England WIN. I expect Tremlett and Finn to play in place of Anderson and Bresnan.

Personally I feel this is going to be very interesting. The Ozzies dont want to lose again and England want a white wash. The previous games if you study the stats are a lot closer than you think. Its all been down to a few players in a 'team game'.

Being an Aussie, I think I will close my eyes for this one!! 9 loses on the trot. Maybe this one will see a revival

Finn, hmmm. Can be really good but equally can be very poor.

Weather permitting hard to see anything other than England win.

Can't understand the selection policy to bring in Woakes and Kerrigan. They should have brought in Tremlett and Finn.

I know it is easy with Hindsight but they should never have given Two Bowlers their Debut's.

I think that the selectors have looked at the weather forecasts and introduced two new debutants for a bit of experience.

I think not Nathaniel, it doesn't rain down-under, does it?

Shows how clever and crafty the England selectors are. Knowing that this is a dead rubber and and after checking out the weather forecast, they have introduced two new rookies to test cricket to see whether they are ready for "battle" or not. Full marks to them but I am very sorry for the new spinner, Kerrigan, and a bit sorry for Woakes. He has batted well for a new recruit.
