Big Show might struggle to keep his spot, you'd think - particularly given the way he threw his wicket away.

I don't think we can have a number 5 play as erratic as he does, you wouldn't want him coming in if we were 3/50

Sran was very verbal when India were on top

Cheers, mate - I missed that.

That's kinda funny - mouths off when they're on top, and Smith shuts him up when he steals the match from their grasp lol.

Absolutely. I agree.

And I have defended him in the past, because he has something to offer.

But surely we have a better option - Dan Christian, perhaps?

To be fair, if he's coming in at 3/50, he's not your problem.

He's fine at 5 or 6

bring back the west indies..

Yep. Fair point.

It's frustrating, though, that he comes in when all we need is a run a ball, and he throws his wicket away with a silly shot.

Bring back Sunshine?

I'd be happy to award Sharma Man Of The Match, regardless of the result.

In the context of this match, it was a whatever wicket...he tried to finish it off quickly, safe in the knowledge that there was plenty of batting coming in behind him

Exactly what I was thinking!

Maxwell came in 3/30 here http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/743983.html

That's true.

But he is good enough to be there at the end imo.

Won't alter the result, but if the talk that Lehman is not happy with Maxwell throwing his wicket away time and time again is correct, then his days might be numbered.

3-46 here http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/754761.html

Chris Lynn

Decent option. Certainly has good form.

[hineyrulz]

Hes been mouthing off all day.
