All eyes will be on Adelaide on Wednesday to see how England respond to their first Test mauling. Since that Brisbane battering, Jonathan Trott has headed home and the discussion about who should take his place at number three has intensified, as has the debate about sledging. Greg Blewett believes the behaviour of both teams in Brisbane was above the board and, looking ahead to this week's Adelaide Test, reckons England could do well to bring in Monty Panesar as a second spinner. But with Tim Bresnan back in the frame for the tourists, Mike Atherton - who would pick Jonny Bairstow at six - believes England will opt for Joe Root at three and bring in Gary Ballance at six for his Test debut.
