Could Clarke have declared at 9 down after the rain delay? As in within the rules of the game?
With the forecast much better tomorrow and the conditions today must be a line worth thinking about?
Obviously 10th wicket will get 50+ now.

Shit post Nakor, such a clown.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? |

could have declared whenever he wanted, but of course never would.
facing johnson and starc now is not going to be fun
at last a fun pitch with some grass and bounce

Surprised this hasn't appeared yet Name the lady's partner? (please keep quiet if you have already been told) Ah just seen this. Roland was at a cricket/charity poker event a few weeks ago and seemed good friends with Eoin Morgan. |

Bit aftertimey but since we're not betting I guess it's OK.
Was thinking how the Wood injury might really help the team when it was mooted yesterday. So focused on Batters after the last test didn't consider bowling changes we might make but I like this one, however we got there

Haven't seen that yet but looking forward to highlights obv, He's just so obviously a proper test bowler whenever he's near his best so really good for us potentially that he is back near his best this year |

Lyth can't continue opening, surely?

who would you open with Compton (not persona grata) Stoneman (unfashionable) Chopra (not a heavy scorer this year) Westley (young, but cook rates him) Robson (tried once) Hales (not seen as a red ball opener/technique) a n other? not an easy or clear choice.... Since Strauss retired, Cook's 6 opening partners have scored 1717 runs in 63 innings at 28.61 so its an ongoing problem |

Clarke not looking so clever as a skipper here
Gower with a gentle dig about the defensive field already. Be laying into cook if positions reversed

Hales is not a long form of the game opener, he has batted 3 for Notts this year with some success certainly has improved his technique over the last couple of years but not a test opener. |

Don't know enough about the county game to suggest an alternative but that post-Strauss stat is rather damning...
