Will be a few raised eyebrows if it doesnt happen, after all the discussion about it over the last couple of months.

Officially the male members of the Royal family dont have one. Mountbatten-Windsor has been proposed, but apparently its a constitutional mess. "Wales" is used as Harry's and Willie's surname as a stop-gap. EDIT : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_William,_Duke_of_Cambridge "For the male-line grandchildren of Elizabeth II, however, there is currently some uncertainty over the correct form of family surname to use, or whether there even is a surname. The Queen has stipulated all her male-line descendants who do not bear the titular dignity of prince shall use Mountbatten-Windsor as their family surname (although Letters Patent exist stipulating the name Windsor, but with the same caveat). According to their flight suits as seen in television interviews, Princes William and Harry both used Wales as their surname for military purposes; this continues to be the case for William since his creation as Duke of Cambridge"

Ay up, my abusive judgmental stalker is back, right on time...

I dont want Osvaldo here. He thinks we arent big enough or established enough.

Patience...we'll find out in oh, 3 months time when the snail-like committee concludes its discussions.

They will be 5-for- by the end of play. guaranteed. WTF is Pietersen doing back, really ? Is it like how Rooney and Lampard still get games for England ?

Its Shaw, FFS. Its his birthday tomorrow so he can sign. Pilch is being disingenuous.

No sh*t, batman..........

Broad finally gets him on 98. Tw*ts.

I think hes already got it. and now they have a new WR for the 10th wicket. Wholescale England changes for the 2nd Test beckon.

What utter b*ll*cks, Nick. Come on, wake up and tune into Reality FM, FFS. If you bought a car from a dealer and tried to take it back, do you think he's going to give you what he paid for it ? EDIT : not even counting what we paid him in wages - to do the square-root of bugger all in return.

So was he brought in just as a sop to the fans over NAs sacking ?

I wonder how much of Markus's money was lost on this transaction.

Theyve already added 20 more to the lead. Embarassing.

Nope, its not rocket science. And to think some posters want you banned

Australia ahead. Absolutely appalling last hour from England.

Ridiculous.

Finn should be dropped for what hes done here. Line and length - schoolboy stuff.

England have let Australia off the hook

I did open an account, but I've only ever sent one Tweet. And that was to a specific person to get some information, not a "look at meeeeeeee, pleeeeeease" tweet.

114-7. Blimey...

Aus 113-6. What a stonking game. One batsman's innings is going to win this.

Moving the discussion back to something closer to home and slightly more mundane, what squad number is he likely to get ? I havent seen a list (with gaps) yet.
