The Ashes: Pick James Taylor if Kevin Pietersen isn't fit, says Nasser Hussain

James Taylor deserves a shot at rekindling his England career if Kevin Pietersen fails to recover from injury in time for the third Ashes Test, says Nasser Hussain.

Ridiculing

The changes mean that rookie off-spinner Ashton Turner could make his first-class debut for Australia at Hove, while seamers Mitchell Starc, Jackson Bird and James Faulkner will vie to fill the Test spot vacated by James Pattinson, whose tour is over after he sustained a stress fracture of the back. Meanwhile David Warner, who was sent to South Africa with Australia A to find some form after he was suspended for punching England's Joe Root in a bar last month, has pressed his claims for a full recall by striking a century against South Africa A. "Australia are at sixes and sevens, aren't they?" said Sky Cricket pundit David Lloyd. "They are looking to replace James Pattinson and that is tough because he's a very impressive young fella and I'd say he's their best bowler. So they need a pace bowler to come in. Will it be Mitchell Starc again or will they go for Jackson Bird? "They said that David Warner would go across to South Africa to get some time in the middle, score runs and then come back. "He's batted at No 4 and he's scored 193, so I'd expect him to come back into the side as well - for anyone they want! "Everyone's ridiculing myself and Botham for saying England will beat Australia 10-0 over the two series - and Australia might well get a draw here at Old Trafford because this is a flat pitch - but I've seen nothing so far to make me change my mind."
