I would like to see T Briscoe keep his place, he is definately one for the future and we should use the the opportunity to blood the younger lads (Tomkins, Myler etc) against the Aussies and Kiwis.

Can't see how wearing some sort of Elizabethan fancy collar is going to particularly help?
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

I would because playing against the very best players in the world doesnt happen that often and what better experience then actually playing against them? If the younger players you mention are going to develop then they need to see the standards set by the Ozzies. It may be painful but hopefully will make our players better for the experiance.

I would keep Briscoe in personally, but there is growing opinion that he doesn't offer enough going forward which i have stated on here before and got shot down for it, but it could cost him the England jersey.

If you mixed up your trolling with an occasional positive comment, then your criticisms might be viewed as legitimate topics for debate. I'd be happy to discuss RL with you - you clearly know enough about it to be capable of being interesting - but you do understand why the attritional 'banter', can get tiresome and make people reluctant to engage?
