TOPIC:

Haddin is out of the side for the 2nd Test at Lords

Did not train with squad today

Has withdrawn for personal reasons - Peter Nevill will make his debut

Breaking news at 8.40pm AEST

be interested to see if Neville does well with bat and gloves and Aust wins that Haddin gets back for the 3rd test......obviously don't expect Neville to have a blinder, but his record with the bat surely lengthens Australia's batting line up and unlike Haddin, he is willing to graft and work for his runs......

Reckon with Haddins experience gone, Watson will stay purely on the excuse that Clarke "needs" some experience on the park for this must win game.....

Hmm what are the chances of Watson moving up to 3, Smith dropping to 4, Clarke to bat at 5 where he has had most of his success & M.Marsh comes into 6 with Nevill coming in at 7 freeze?

BH just read that Watto is out and MM is in......so I guess with Watto and Haddin out and Starc more likely an in, one can only hope the Aussies can turn it around.....I reckon a lot depends on the accuracy of Starc and Johnno....can really only afford one to be wayward.....because MM the back up goes for a few too when he bowls.....touch wood he is fit enough to bowl decent spells at Lords.....on the other hand hopefully his bowling isn't needed because Starc and Johnson have gone crazy and bowled Eng all out for below 150!

What the fark was that shot just played by David Warner???
Mindless, dumb, ridiculous!

Yeah what spell does this Moeen Ali guy cast over the Aussie bats. He looks totally innocuous but he keeps picking up wickets

Close to the worst shot I have ever seen in 35 years of watching cricket from all around the world ..hang your head in shame Warner!

A waste as well, he had got over a tough period at the start and was just starting to play with some fluency. His game awareness is pretty poor at the moment.

Hopefully Rogers and Smith can continue on and make Warner rue his brain explosion even more.......touch wood after reaching 550 the pitch turns to custard

Haha the poms so scared of Mitch Johnson prepare a pitch where edges fail to reach the slips and balls get over waist high on the first day of a test at Lords, I hope Aust bat them into oblivious tonight and then have the last session and three full days to bowl them out see if they can handle the pressure of surviving.
