Good job Chris Jordan isn't playing.

Not food related, just good job he isn't playing!

What about Jimmy - suppose they'll all need one at the end....as long as it's not on the pitch..

A bit surprised Finn is there, on the back of an ordinary CC. I really hope Rashid isn't in the 13 without real intent to play him. But I guess the team that played NZ will start.

This test feels ages away.

Maybe it's because it's in Cardiff.

Has M March done enough to get a game in the first test. 2 100's in the tour games suggest he should probably get the gig over Twatto.

I think he has. I think the selectors will go with him too.

Yep i think they have to reward the player in form. Watson has batted well in both games, but like his test career he could not go on for the 100. Marsh has gone back to back and should be picked.

Of course i am assuming Voges is getting picked for the number 5 slot..........

I'm pretty sure Voges is safe at 5. He has a Test average that is Bradmanesque. Shaun Marsh is also another option at 5, but for this series at least, Adam Voges is the man, and I reckon he'll make a truck load of runs.
