Onions for Monty would be the only change I'd make...and I'd have had him in ahead of Monty in this test too.
The Aussies do not struggle against spin, their main weakness is the swinging ball so we should attack that weakness with the best available exponents of this who are Anderson, Flintoff, Broad and Onions with Sidebottom the next choice.

Onions has more wickets than Harmison at a better average with a better strike rate and has more 5 fers this season...for me he has to be first choice to replace Broad.
What makes me laugh is Ponting's remark about England not playing in the true spirit of the game AND that it was Australia's intention to do just that.
It's laughable when they are the masters of sledging and giving the verbals. Although, sadly, this is now part of the game, presumably it is NOT in the spirit of cricket.
Given, the Australians inability to knock over Anderson, and in particular Panesar, in over 11 overs, what difference would a few more deliveries have made? Not much is the answer.
Ponting should just have accepted the draw gracefully and used his thoughts to motivate his team for Lords. Whinging Poms, I don't think so. Hopefully England's great escape will give them some belief for the rest of the series, and hopefully put one over the Team Arrogance.
