Good article in yesterday's Sunday Times by Simon Hughes about the appalling bowling by England in the 1st innings, basically bowling half trackers trying to bounce the Aussies out.... of the first 380 balls bowled by England only 20 were hitting the stumps.... doing that takes 2 forms of dismissal out of play, bowled and lbw.... and I thought the batting in the 1st innings was brain dead, seems the bowling was as well.....

Given that we also drop more than we catch, there's not many dismissals left!

Where are we losing next, Adelaide?

My one remaining hope is we have the best of Boxing Day at the MCG. Not necessarily winning the test, but winning the first day of it. Not too much to ask?

Wood out of the series.... who'd have thunk it?

Replaced by Matthew Fisher...... nope me neither?
 
Hazelwood out for the series also.. Hopefully Cummins is back for Adelaide and I imagine Lyon will be in the team. Unlucky for the 2 who will miss out.

Why, other than injuries, would the Aussies change a team which has crushed the opposition so far?

Although Starc obviously needs a rest.
 
Cummins will come in because he is the captain and our best bowler and he's one of the top 10 all rounders in the world. It's Adelaide so I think they'll play a spinner therefore Lyon will play. I doubt they'll rest Starc. So 2 others will have to drop out.

Starts in an hour! Will we have learned our lesson from the last two matches & bat sensible, must take the catches this time round which cost us dearly in last match& pitch the ball up instead of bowling too short
 
Oooh I’m on my way home from a reasonably nice but ludicrously priced curry if the train ever gets to its destination. What an unexpected treat.
