After a week of intense debate, England last night were still debating their options for today's Test with the one likely change from the Adelaide Test being spinner Monty Panesar sacked for a seam bowler, probably Tim Bresnan. Swann initially looked poised for the cut after averaging 100 runs for his four wickets in the series and also conceding more than four runs per over, meaning he has been neither able to penetrate nor contain. But the heatwave which has scorched Perth this week and is forecast to continue over the weekend may prompt England to consider retaining Swann and young all-rounder Ben Stokes for the tourists may need five bowling options in the steam bath conditions. Swann, England's best slips fieldsman, was given an extended hit out at second slip in England's fielding training yesterday, seen as an encouraging sign for his prospects. England captain Alastair Cook has dubbed his 100th Test the most challenging of his career. Fast bowler Mitchell Johnson has terrorised England in the first two Tests and Cook said there has been extensive discussions over the past few days over how he should be played. The partnership between Joe Root and Kevin Pietersen ... they played him very well but is dangerous to concentrate on one player in the series. We have spoken about a lot of that in the last few days. It is a huge honour for me to join the 100 club, one I thought I would never get when I started off playing for Essex as a youngster and making the steps along the way. It is a special day and it will be more special if we can produce a performance we know we are capable of.
