What's the FLA?

Anyone think they might leave one of the openers out, move Labashagne up to opening and Mitch Marsh comes in and bats 3? Marsh batted 3 in the tour games I think

Justin Langer has indicated that Warner will keep his spot for the fifth test while Cummins may be rested.
England announced an unchanged squad for the Oval test.

With Stokes unlikely to bowl.

Why try and solve one problem but create two?

We basically have 3 blokes opening the batting each innings.

Khawaja opens, Warner Out
Pattison in, Starc out
Wade or Head out, Marsh in if they are tempted to give Cummins a rest.

I'd rather that they elevate Wade to open if they wanna bring Mitch in, I think our bowling lacks integrity with no Cummins, he creates wickets for his team mates even when he's not taking them himself.

I'd be more inclined to give Lyon a game off, he's taken 4/358 in England's last 5 innings'.

Reckon Wade did enough in the last test to keep his spot

Smith will always be remembered as a cheat - Harmison

Shouldn't play the World Cup and the Ashes in the same year - Prior

The pitches suited Australia - Anderson

Whinging pom wankers - Booney

Suck on another salty breath mint Harmison. This was the joker who pioneered the mints and then in later Ashes series would bowl his 5 overs and then go and sit in an ice bath whilst a professional fielder came on as 12th man and he reckons Smith is a cheat.

The last one is fair, these pitches have been much flatter then prior english summers and our only chance was a green seamer which we havent seen. It may have also back fired but on flatter tracks we have seen aussies are much better over 9 tests.

What rubbish the one pitch that had something in it, our bowlers knocked you over for 67, granted you did win it though haha

Lyon's spinning finger is rooted, a rest wouldn't kill him.

Langer said in his press conference today that Lyons finger is fine and he will play in the fifth test.

Wondering when was the last time an Aust Test player has had worse performances over 4 consecutive Tests than Warner and still held their spot?

Head dropped for Mitch Marsh.
