Drop Woakes. Doesnt get out world class  batters out everytime he plays.

He will get an opportunity next week onwards  hope  he takes it.

Does anyone here have the cricket Australia app? Just wondered if it allowed you to stream the warm up games?

If you are in the U.K. BT Sport are streaming it on their Facebook page, not sure what affects there are if you are anywhere other than UK though...

Another 50 for Stoneman, 4 from 4 innings so far in this tour.
Let's hope he keeps this run of form going

Ton for Stoneman in the end, Vince thou gets in again and gets out-that’s how he bats it all looks easy enough but no real contribution-we need a lot more than that batting 3

This number 3 spot in a worry

To be honest, a few starts and an average of 25 for the series would do for Vince really, just keep the middle order away from the new ball.

You're probably right tbh, the way they are playing though it looks like Malan would be more suited to the gritty no 3 spot (never thought that watching him play for Middlesex) and Vince as a strokemaker at 5 a'la Ian Bell, I've been really impressed with Malan's tenacity especially as I (as I'm sure others did) had him down as a bit of a white ball dasher.

Possibly, that'd be 3 lefties in a row at the top of the order though.

If you want that approach you’re better to pick Ballance.

I wouldn't actually move Malan to 3 I was more just trying to highlight the fact that I've been impressed with his grit and willingness to bat time. I'm one of the few who quite like Gary Ballance but I'd bat him at 5 if he was going to play, I'd also bat Vince at 5 though to be honest.

Yup. He obviously doesn't want to though.

In most recent tests he probably feels like he does.
