Well I'll kick it off. Reckon Lehman's appointment was a masterstroke - it will be much closer as a result of his appointment.
Who's going and when? |  |

Sounds as if the kid spinner Agar starts for Oz.
Big surprise. |  | | |

Let's hope it's not shades of Shane Warne in '93 ! |  | | |

Yeah hopefully not but he's very young and it's a bit more likely that they're feeding him to the Lions. Will be good experience for him if he comes through it. Probably no more of a risk than opening with Root. | | | |

He doesn't sound a complete dumbo, looking at Cricinfo:
Ashton Agar has so far turned almost as many heads as he has turned cricket balls. At the age of 19 he has a place in the squads of Western Australia, the Perth Scorchers, and also the national team, having sensationally been upgraded from an internship on the 2013 tour of India to a more expansive role in Michael Clarke's squad. Agar's rapid rise continued when he was included in Australia's XI for the first Ashes Test at Trent Bridge in 2013.
Of Sri Lankan background and possessing a frame 187cm tall, Agar has the pedigree and the physical attributes to suggest his left-arm spin will be successful, impressing many on his first-class debut for WA against New South Wales at Blacktown Oval. He had been Australia's second spinner behind Ashton Turner at the 2012 Under-19 World Cup, but developed quickly in Perth after being plucked from under the noses of state selectors in Victoria, where he was raised. An intelligent, considered young cricketer, Agar has also aspired to a career in the law, though a degree with Deakin University has been deferred due to his burgeoning cricket commitments. | | | |

they rushed through his citenzenship so he could play so no real shock, he's obviously a bit special otherwise they wouldn't have rushed it through. Going to be a tough series this one |  | | |

Wouldn't've been my choice but now it's made, get 350+ first innings score and let's see the Aussies take it on. | |

Would have been mine. Knacker out their inexperienced attack. Get a sizeable score to allow our bowlers room to be aggressive and take wickets. | |

We'll be thinking spin and Swann though. It's a dry wicket.
Bold decision but I'd have batted first. Smack the cnts and break their morale!

I hope they are going to prove me wrong but given the conditions I think we'd have been better off putting them in.With the amount of movement out there I think we could have had four or five out by lunch. | | | |

surprised at the weather in Notts, grey and overcast. I thought it was blue skies like it is in London.
Shaky start. Cook a disappointment. We've given them confidence which is annoying.
They've edged the morning session.

Overcast conditions, ball swinging, we should've chose to bat IMO. | |
