Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus -

What are peoples' thoughts on the England selection for Thursday?
I reckon Broad and Panesar will be make way for Harmison and Onions, and I would like to see Cook replaced with Stephen Moore...though I suspect the batting lineup won't be changed.
I think England will still struggle though...Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment

the fact that england need so many changes and australia are going in unchanged speak volumes. the psychological scars of just scraping a draw will also play heavy on england in the next test. the captain being a 4th choice and being outplayed will also feature.Comment

I'd say the scars of failing to knock over either of Englands crappest batsmen in nearly 12 overs would bear heaviest on Ponting's mind.
I think the crap-ness of England's attack was more to blame than the brilliance of the Aussie batting for the 600+ in the first innings. That needs to be addressed."See, you think I give a tulip. Wrong. In fact, while you talk, I'm thinking; How can I give less of a tulip? That's why I look interested."Comment
