    Second Ashes Test - Lords

    Thu 16 – Mon 20 July

    Surely Watson gets dropped and what about the bowling?

    If the selection committee was truthful They would be dropping Haddin as well, give Marsh a go and maybe Siddle in for Starc,
    If he is injured.

      Can I drop the channel 9 cheerleading team. Specifically I cite M. Taylor and Healy when reviewing the Haddin dropped catch at various times then say, (when back live) "oh, but he took that one really well did Haddin" ... Referring to a simple take off the quicks down leg side...

        Speculation that Haddin is out of the 2nd test due to personal reasons. Neville to debut.

          I know its the wrong place to post but Faulkner received his sanctions from Cricket Australia and he will miss the entire OD series.

          Should be good to see how Neville goes.

            Tough circumstances but something did look not quite right in the way he played during the first innings. No doubt in my mind Nevill will do a fine job, he's a gritty customer who has more shots that you imagine at first sighting and is up there with Ludeman and Hartley as the best glovemen in the country. Doesn't get tougher than Lords for a wicketkeeper to debut but he deserves to be where he is

              Watson dropped in favour for Marsh. Nevill confirmed to debut.

                  Maybe haddin and Watsons last test, if so I'm sad haddin didn't get a recognition test.

                    Don't get too excited. Watson has challenged the call and referred it to DRS

                      Hopefully Nevill's test career turns out better than the last Australian keeper to debut at Lords - Tim Paine!

                      Haddin is remaining on tour so there's a good chance he will be back. Will be interesting to see what happens if Nevill performs well in this test and Haddin declares himself available for the third test.

                            But he looks stunned walking off that he could be given out LBW... for the 46th time in his career!

                              Watson getting out LBW so often had become a sideshow, just like Cullinan was Warne's bunny. The whole thing needed to end.
