I know it's been quoted as 4-3-3, but I think we'll actually line up 4-2-3-1.

Looks like 4-2-3-1 to me. Wade Elliot and Gillet sitting, Baldock right, Bryan left, and Pearson in behind JET.

Baldock frustrates the **** out of me. Looks like he's got the ability to do it, but consistently misses guilt edged chances. First half MK played with a ridiculously high line, leading us to get Baldock in behind on numerous occasions- he should of had us 3-0 up in the first 10 minutes, which would have killed the game. Second half MK didn't play so high, therefore we couldn't get Sam in behind as often. The chances that Baldock's had this season, he could've scored 30 already, and if he had done we'd be sat in a much better position.

When Stokes actually bowled yorkers it worked. Don't know why we didn't continue to bowl them. Root bowled well until his final over. Still, that was some innings from Faulkner.

Would love to see us turn it around but just can't see it. Johnson to tear us apart again unfortunately.

Averaging 30 with the bat and just over 30 with the ball, economy of 3. Not a bad test record. On form aswell, has got wickets for the EPP.

Talk of even Swann being dropped for the last test. Perth is a pact wicket with lots of bounce, therefore I'd go with 4 seamers. Swann simply hasn't performed, although it's still hard to drop him. Then there's the question of which seamer to bring in? On current form it's Bresnan, however due to the pace and bounce in the wicket could Finn or Rankin be more useful?

What's our predictions for tonight? Think we need early wickets, Haddin and Clarke can be very different. I think we'll get them for about 400, just hoping we don't loose many wickets before the end of the day.

I agree that our batting line up looks weak. We could really do with keeping them under 350.

Bring on tonight. What team selections are people predicting?

He's a gas****.
