Interesting round. Almost all star players are unavailable.

#R2

Matthew Wade was disappointing in the first game, but we are forced to play him nevertheless.

Alastair Cook

Kane Williamson
Marcus North
Rangana Herath
Ryan Duffield
Michael Hogan
Tim Southee
@Dipak Batting order is unchangeable since we've a total of 7 batsmen available and none of our bowling all rounders. Have a look at the bowling lineup. Hilfenhaus didn't perform well in the first game but was excellent in the warmups. And Behrendorff too. Should they come in for Hogan?

 

[Umair7]

You still have 4 overseas players in your lineup

 

[Varun]

But we lost Mitchell Johnson. Yeah, I hope Southee and Herath live up to the expectations.

Btw, the "chin music" was really nice, @arun_8 - I hope there's plenty more where that came from.

There is a return match at our home ground. So this is not the end.

Hate the injuries. Feel even more trolled after seeing you ava @Aggz

1. Lets give Hilfy another chance if possible.
2. Lets play Wade at 6 and have Cook open, don't the keepers play at #7 in tests anyways?
