Gee you really don’t rate Paine then, we all know your dislike for Ferguson
In simple terms his batting doesnt warrant him being in the side
If he can't get the gloves ahead of Wade I would rather a card board cut out behind the stumps

Perhaps the poms will agree to play "auto wickey" rules?

If another batsman is brought into the squad as coverage for Warner - who will it be?
cricket.com.au reports Marsh would move to open the batting alongside Bancroft, while a new #6 would come in.

I'm in the same boat haha, which is why I said I feel the same way, not i'll do the same
I'll no doubt hurl abuse at the tv for 5 days and pray for a double Marsh failure, but I can't NOT watch the Ashes!

I'm sure they'll give it another clip and roll in the morning, wont be that green by the time the game starts.

No, it won't be, but with the chance of a shower or two in 'Vegas tomorrow morning that first hour will be nice and juicy!

Meant to be showers every day which will keep the moisture levels up, maybe no cracking
Sayers is the12th man
