They could set them 160 and be pretty safe...
Faark 2 fa already
Oh... looks whose decided to show up at 4-0 and 200 behind in the 5th... Hi Jimmy Anderson, didn't know you were in the squad!
Drop Warner! Drop Watson!!
Drop Warner! Drop Watson!!
We would have won the series 7-0 if they hadn‘t been dragging us down.
Anyone who thinks we will roll the Saffers are kidding themselves. Top order is as fragile as ever, how many times this series have we been 4 or 5 for under 100?
The brilliance of Haddin and the Poms drop in intensity has bern the differance, Steyn and co wont let up so easy

I was hopeful that we had found one in Usman Khawaja but alas
Looks like George has booked his trip to Jaapieville
One line I’ve liked…if James Cook were as good a captain as Alister Cook, we’d be speaking French

I’d be struggling to think why bailey should go to south africa. he’s pretty much done nothing all series bar that 50 odd or whatever it was

Didn't say he would be playing but he will be on the tour.
Selectors will give Bailey every single chance to cement a spot in the side.
Some people you just want around the team and Bailey is one of them. I am a very biased fan of Bails. One I know and like the man. Two I am a somewhat passionate Tassie Tiger fan (Hi Reboot, Watsonstroops and Rossenari) but even I don't think he will be a long term test player. That said until someone demands his spot he will get selected.
Watson would be the one I would drop
That is just nonsensical Nickyd.
At least you admit your bias.
Bailey has to go. Doesn’t matter if no-one is knocking the door down. You don’t keep him in there just because of that. He is clearly not up to it.
Only way bailey can stay in is of he raises the bat tomorrow with a century.

It kinda does matter if someone is knocking down the door.
Slightly related I hate the timing of the big bash

Woot, and I haven't even played a competitive game in about 9 years... (Something about form being temporary and class being forever?)
On another note, are we allowed to bag Watson in here again?
I wish this group of batsmen would learn to build partnerships at the top of the order.
Maybe the extra experience they have gained batting together in a settled and successful team will teach them how to build an innings.
Or maybe they are not quite good enough either individually or collectively to ever become a reliable batting line up.
I fear the Sth African pace trio will sort them out.
