Neville and Starc hanging in there. England don't have any reviews left either.
They're showing a bit of fight and a bit of discipline. The more runs the better - another 100 would be nice

Jeez mate calm down, not sure why you've got such a bee in your bonnet about Voges. Not like he's failed horribly. Hard to judge what happened at Lords, given he came in at 3-400 in the first dig and didn't bat in the second.
He will live or die on his form, just like all other Aussie bats. Age doesn't really have much to do with it. With Shaun Marsh in form he might not be in for much longer. That doesn't make the selectors original decision any less justified IMO.

Well, does coming in at 3/34 and getting out for 16 in the 1st innings and coming in at 3/76 and going for a first ball duck qualify as failing horribly?
Yikes. Fellas need to take a long hard look at themselves before Trent Bridge.
Look at the scores he was coming in at. Surely some of the blame must fall on the blokes above who failed. Smith in particular threw his wicket away softly in both innings. Clarke scored 10 and 3, why aren't you calling for him to be dropped?
How has he gone in county cricket? Did well earlier this year but don't know his other scores in EnglandActually he has had one excellent season - 2014/15, but other than that he's been nothing special. He's never been in serious contention for the test team during his previous 11 seasons of shield cricket.
In the SS runs scored list he is
2014/15 - 1st
2013/14 - 5th
2012/13 - 23rd
2011/12 - 7th
2010/11 - 10th
2009/10 - 27th
2008/09 - 25th
He's hardly been knocking on the door has he?

Yes he failed. Your glee at pointing this out is a little weird.
His spot is certainly in jeopardy. Still doesn't make the decision of the selectors wrong in the WI.
