Interesting comments from Cook who said he should make technical changes halfway thru a series…which perhaps is a last chance to get some runs. He’s done ok since he came in but maybe England do have an option.

I think he will play the whole series myself but he does get a lot of low scores then a 50

We have just been docked more WTC points for slow over rate, we are better off not playing!

Also in other news.... a bloke was seen holding up a sign saying 'Rory Burns Can't Bat' at the darts! 🤣

😂😂😂

Any information on why he is back in England?

The Lions tour is over. He was never in the Ashes squad.

Depriving yourself of sleep to watch this is the England cricket fan equivalent of self harming, probably still going to do as well though  :)

So can we build a batting unit around Root and Malan?

The catching is just such a difference between the 2 teams, let alone the batting and bowling

It was so predictable what I was going to wake up to, was hoping for maybe a Ton from either Root or Malan but after that most likely a procession of wickets.

The fact is they are quicker when bowling, have better batters in the top 5 and they catch so I will be looking out for the job advertisement for head of planning and strategy for our cricket team as they current one seems to have missed these vital points when planning or 2 years for this ashes series.

Another one of those counter attacking innings that Jos is in the side for 🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s been a while since any selections based on white ball form have worked hasn’t it?

They won't catch us this time! Not this time! They haven't spotted us! No, they're all snoring in their bunks! Or, you know what? They're drinking at the bar, celebrating our sinking! Not yet, my friends. Not yet!

The only two batsmen worthy of a spot are Root and Malan.

At this point, I think we have to make changes.

Crawley, Bairstow, Lawrence in?

Burns & Pope are very vulnerable.
Hameed, Stokes, Buttler also not performing so far.

What a fine mess this test side is.
Given what is/could be available, I think my side would be:

Crawley 1
Hameed 2
Malan 3
Root 4
Lawrence 5
Stokes 6
Foakes 7
Bess 8
Wood 9
Robinson 10
Broad/Anderson 11

I don't even like Crawley that much, I'd rather have Bracey.
