As a small aside I hated Test cricket until I discovered you could drink all day while watching it (back in the days when pubs shut it the afternoon). That made me want to go to a test match or two, and the rest is history...

I think it's always been my favorite form of the game, possibly from sitting in front of it on telly from an early age. I still like 50 over games as compared to T20...

Agreed Wriggler, so many test matches, and series stick in the mind but, oddly, ODI's and T20's do not in the same way.
Re tomorrow:
Finn back, Ball and Raschid miss out.
Vince and Ballance both start their last ever test matches.

Watched Wood bowling at 90mph off 6 paces the other night. Impressive

The only Face Finn's actauly fits is that atop a very tall bloke with long arms and very long legs.
He's a good fast bowler who needs overs, which you don't get mid season in England.....could be short term though if Wood kkeps his fitness.....which he won't. That 6 pace run up is his problem...

Crikey that would bring us to 60-5 then, and a rescue job by Bairstow and Ali to recover to 425-7...;-)
