    And probably for England too. Really thought we could get this Test across the line, but not looking good now.

    Bairstow only justifies his position as wicket keeping all rounder if he consistently contributes with the bat


    But right now he's out too easily too often, and drops too many.

    Foakes in please!

    The Ashes are alive!

    (Lawrence and Foakes for Moeen and Bairstow. And either Jimmy or Tongue to come in if Robinson isn't fit.)

    Woakes for me. Consistently good bowling in both innings, and invaluable runs at the death.

    Good thing that Australia fell into the same trap that we so often fall into: the trap of thinking that you must select a spinner no matter what.

    If they are good enough to bat in the top 7, then fine, pick them. No problem at all. But if they aren't good enough to bat that high, then they actually need to be a very, very good spinner in order to accommodate one of those final four spots in England. I don't really care how many wickets Todd Murphy took in India. Conditions in England could barely be more different.

    Across the entire match, he faced 22 balls (scoring 24) and bowled 9.3 overs (taking one wicket). What a waste of a pick.
