    <p>I think on pitches where a 4th seamer is handy, a 2nd spinner wouldn't be. But yeah, there is no obvious case for number 5 but Will Young, Popli, Munro, Nicholls, Tome Bruce and maybe even Guptill are all options there.</p>

    <p>Good thing about my plan is that any of Anderson, Santner or Neesham could come good as a number five, since any of them is already easily good enough to bat seven and probably six.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Need to start looking around for Watling's eventual replacement - especially since Ronchi's not got far to run.  </p>

      How old is Watling? Surely we don't need to find a replacement just yet.

        <p>31. We need him to stick around because we don't have deep keeping stocks.</p>

          <p>Just turned 31, so he's hopefully got a couple more years. But, Ronchi is 35 and not done much in the past 12 months.</p>
          <p> </p>
          <p>Never too soon to start looking. :)</p>

              Ronchi's a busted flush, no doubt about that. 31 isn't that old for a keeper, especially a relatively new one to international cricket. He might have another 4-5 years in him.

                  The pitch curator looks like a fun guy to hang out with.

                                <p>On the other channel the Aussie - Sri Lanka test is shaping up as a great finish... Aussie shit all over them for 3 days & now Mendis has smacked his maiden ton (160 odd) to well & truely stick it up that stroppy child captaining straya. </p>
                                <p> </p>
                                <p>Warner will probably stroll out & smack 100 off 60 balls & it'll ber all over, but its a good test so far</p>
