If what you are asking for is not hard enough Cummins and Hazelwood are back in the Aussie squad.
This may be tempered by Starc having a twinge in his back and not being 100%.
The Root situation is a bit troubling to be fair.
Find it really hard to believe that he thinks “the emotion got the better of some players”
Your job as captain is to realise this and get in players ears if they are not doing as you are asking.
Great cricketer
Poor captain.

I find it hard to believe that amongst all of our professional cricketers we cannot find a better opening batsman than Rory feckin Burns. A halfway competent test opener would have clipped that leg stump half volley for four. To be bowled around his legs first ball is just shocking. His technique is utterly dire.

Wouldn't suprise me, due to the lack of obvious 'in nick' replacements, if Burns was selected again.
There are signs that Root & Silverwood are losing the plot and over thinking matters, expect more decision that fly in the face of logic. We are told we have been planning for this series for 4 years, well you could have fooled me.
We need to bat all day on day 3 and the next 4 wickets get us past the follow on score. Big ask !
If Root & Malan go early we will be following on at tea.Offcomedun and bailiff bridge bantam like this. -

Come in Root and Silverwood your time is up.
Australia scored 267 and won by an innings.
Let them numbers sink in England cricket fans.
He said after the 2nd test that they were determined to put the mistakes right.
Wow.
I’m glad they were up for this match or it could have been very embarrassing.TallinnBantam and Craven Koppite like this. -

Overcast.
Why did we not ball. Why, why, why??
Harmy and Cook called it before the toss. We opted to bat in overcast conditions with sweet FA preparations. The ball was always going to nip around. Maybe the omission of Broad and Jimmy, was an acceptance we had to build a big score, with the 'attack' light.TallinnBantam likes this. -

One positive on the first days play though. No Michael Vaughan.

It's like us going in at half time leading 1-0. You just know what's coming....

Sticky start.
Up to Stokes and Buttler to dig in or hope the tail wags.
Big ask on both parts.Offcomedun likes this.
