Trott is coming home, "stress related illness" sounds very Marcus Trescothick like

[Alex]

Think its a good thing. If he isnt up for it, which his batting has shown maybe hes not. Its best he gets right mentally.

Move Root up to 3rd and then stick Bairstow in at 6th. Either that or bring Bell up the order and put Bairstow in the line up.

[RichC]

Agreed, if he's suffering with this then best to get him out of there and let him get away to relax and get better.

[Shaggy]

Wow. Amazing. Is this convenient or genuine?!

[Shaggy]

Clarke fined 20% of his match fee

[Shaggy]

I bet Warner feels an even bigger cunt than usual now.

[RichC]

I think its genuine, not something they'd come out with if it wasn't IMO.

He's been well below par so far, I guess Bairstow comes in then.

[RichC]

I bet Warner feels an even bigger cunt than usual now.

Doubtful, not smart enough to think that way

[RichC]

Flower had a dog at Clarke taking about leaders that know where the line is and having role models suitable in leadership.

I hope we smash these ****ers now, finally managed to win a test and they're back to being top of the world.,

Atherton: "Flower said Trott has been dealing with this condition for a long period of time.Made up mind on third evening couldn't carry on"

[Shaggy]

Stupid of me to even question whether it was genuine - in my defence I'd just woken up, saw the news and was in shock.

I feel bad for Trott. You'd think this will galvanise the England players even more, to do it for 'Trotty'. We need Belly, Cooky, Rooty, Swanny, Broady et al to do the business for him.

[EwarWoo]

Feel bad for calling him a prick now, guess he had other reasons for being dismissive to fans. Hope he's OK.

No ballance?

[Shaggy]

Yeah I'd like to try someone other than Bairstow. He's not up to it.

Shane Warne @warne888
On another note, I think it's a disgrace that @MClarke23 has been fined. What about what Jimmy Anderson said to Bailey, which wasn't heard.

[Shaggy]

Shane Warne @warne888
@MClarke23 stuck up for his debutant Bailey as he should have too as Capt after Anderson said he wanted to punch Bailey in the face !

Shane Warne @warne888
Unfortunately only Clarke's reaction to Anderson's was heard live, we all heard Anderson's sledge that led to Clarke reacting !
