Read this in the paper today - A tweet from KP:

Deep in thought right now ... Ridiculous that I'm lying on a beach when I should be prepping for the 3rd test! So silly really! Sad

Sounds like he is working his arse off keeping fit just in case the unthinkable happens and he gets recalled to the Test side

Ballance dropped and Bairstow in. Bairstow's scored a load of runs recently in the County Championship, but he was in the England set up a couple of years ago and couldnt cut it at Test level. Hopefully his technique has improved, otherwise his selction will make little difference to the piss poor batting performances.

Very true but apart from Bairstow who else could they bring in ? Shame Bell didn't get the boot too

I would have went for James Taylor who IMO should have been given a longer run in the Test set up than he had. I reckon he has as much ability as Root. But there's nothing better than seeing a player dropped, go away improve their technique, come back and weigh in heavily. Gooch comes to mind. Hopefully Bairstow has upped his game and proves it.

Hard to think of an Aussie batsman that hasn't been through that. Makes them appreciate having a test berth. Look at Justin Langer. Dropped more times than a pair of knickers on soi 6, then scored more tons than Ian Chappell or Mark Waugh.
