good toss to win today.

Siddle to play to, as predicted my me yesterday on twitter...! and the Marsh brothers to swap places again

England unchanged

we've had some luck with the tosses this year.
Can't remember last time there was a green track at the Oval, we have turned it round since the Lords road.

Looks like Rashid will have to wait until the UAE tests to play, presuming England still think he's the second spinner by then

Makes a change for a test series to have the captains automatically opting to bowl. None of this bat first and spank up 500 on a featherbed and leave the other team chasing the game. Not a forgone conclusion England will bowl Australia out cheaply, or the wicket will flatten out either. Been interesting, English wickets for a change. England haven't had too many issues batting on them either!

exactly, it makes a far more interesting game, we are in England after all,home advantage is big.When we go abroad we have to take whatever is given, the UAE on slow turner ideal for Pakistan or a trampoline at the Gabba or Perth.
Test runs should be hard earned,the cream usually rises to the top in the end.

Pathetic decision not to select Patrick Cummins for this Test...I'm a fan of Peter Siddle but looking forward the crop of fast bowlers will be Starc, Hazlewood, Pattinson and Cummins.

Broad and Anderson climbing the bowler rankings with their home boosted stats. After the tours of UAE and SA they'll be struggling to anyway near the top of the rankings

ive got Smith leading runscorer for the series for Australia
Root for England
And Starc leading wicket taker for the series for Australia

Smith 72 behind Rogers - Sort it out
Root - 200 ahead
Starc - 2 ahead of Hazlewood and Lyon - Hazelwood out

Please Steve Smith I want this 500 quid for a new bat !

What you think my chances are lads ?

As a treble?

Middling at best, Roots nailed on, Starc is favourite but you never know, not sure SS will manage 100 runs for the test so you're replying on Rodgers to fail, something he hasn't done very often recently.

Root to top the run scorers

Rogers for Australia regal Smith can't bat on green tops

Starc if he can control the swing

Yes done it as a treble.... super annoyed now as my original bet was a four fold with Broad and Rogers in there

Why did i change my mind

Looks like Warner's using a far more normal-sized bat today

Also Will Gidman appears to be 12th man? Chatting to Mark Wood on the boundary, interesting choice. Stokes bowling a much better length than Broad

Better from Aus today looks like you Aussie fans may get to see day 4 of a test match which hasnt happened in a while lol. Would have liked to have seen England play Rashid but understand why they didn't. Really hope Lyth can bat long and bat big and cement the openers place for the winter.
And today unfortunately showed that clarke is a spent force and retiring from test cricket was the right call to make.
