A bit like this you mean (from above):cantersaddick said:
Maybe we should last minute swap Foakes in for Moeen? Shove Bairstow to 3...Addick Addict said:People are now climbing over each other to back the draw and it is now down to 3.65. If we only get two three days of play it's unlikely that it will be the spinners that win the match for either side.
(4) Going without Moeen and giving the gloves to Foakes, batting him at 7 and playing no front line spinner:
1. Crawley 29.00
2. Duckett 50.95
3. Bairstow 30.76
4. Root 52.24
5. Brook 74.69
6. Stokes 37.22
7. Foakes 35.70
8. Broad 21.64
9. Woakes 30.46
10. Wood 16.05
11. Anderson 8.03
In that case I'd bring in a specialist top order batsman - Dan Lawrence for example who's the official batting concussion sub this series.0 -
Mo was looking good in the last test. I'm backing his bowling to perform.Addick Addict said:
With lots of rain breaks there might only be three of them bowling at any given time. If Moeen is hit out of the attack or as ineffective as Head might be then we might have one less seamer than them to rotate. They've also had the same ten day break as our bowlers and they don't have to bowl any of them in three or four over bursts as Wood does to be at his most effective.kentaddick said:i guess aussies are banking on lots of rain breaks to get their bowlers a shower and a massage. V risky to go into a 4th test with such a packed series with all seamers.0 -
A big performance needed in this must win test so Come On England
No Surrender let's do this :

Massive change in prices. The draw is now challenging for favouritism and England are the outsiders of three. Can only think that this is because the Aussies five man seam attack and very long batting line up will make it harder for England to win, in a potentially limited overs game, a Test that Australia do not need to in order to retain the Ashes:
England 3.20
Australia 2.84
Draw 2.921 -
Cummins is a useless tosser
England opt to bowl3 -
England winning the toss and electing to bowl has not meant that their odds have shortened (perhaps a reflection of the fact that the advantage of having a front line spinner in the side is somewhat negated by not bowling last):Addick Addict said:Massive change in prices.

Seems to me that Stokes treats the toss like a 1-day game. Bat last so you know what to chase.0
-
If it's going to rain, set about taking those 20 wickets as quickly as possible3
-
smart in terms of game management to bowl first - gets to day 4 with rain, australia could've just dropped anchor in their final innings, we can go chasing the game.1

always makes me laugh how they stand broad and crawley next to duckett in the national anthem lineups2

Come on Broady - make them play1

It's a good job that wasn't off the bat0
-
Yes Broady0
-
Big wicket that - the one we wanted
0 -
Yes Broad, now get 600!!1
-
Yes 1 gone0
-
feels written in the stars broad's 600th test wicket will be warner...0
-
Shaped away then came subtly back. Reckon the xW off the charts on that one0
-
Well bowled Chris Woakes

Warner is having a similar series to Crawley. Looking quite good without making a big score.0

warner's been playing extremely well, especially with his running, great wicket to get right now.0
-
Well done Chris Woakes, needed that.
Couple more before lunch please.0 -
Why wasn't Wood on the boundary rope?0
-
Wood was probably "10 off" with a view to stopping Smith taking two and not expecting that Smith would take Woakes on first ball like that. Wood would have been told to be in that position rather than just wandering in.kinveachyaddick said:Why wasn't Wood on the boundary rope?0 -
Nothing about this morning suggests an England win within 3 days before the rain arrives0
-
Is englands next test series against the w indies next June? No overseas tests this winter?0
-
Bowling 1st looks a shocking choice. If they bat all day then we're gonna struggle to win this match due to the poor weather forecast late in the week.0
-
107-2 off 25 overs at lunch. Not the worst of tosses to lose it seems.0
-
It seems we have no matches at all between January and May when we have a random home T20 series against Pakistan. Starting 22nd May in Headingley, which sounds grim.Todds_right_hook said:Is englands next test series against the w indies next June? No overseas tests this winter?0 -
Well I thought this and Kent/Essex both started tomorrow so not kept up with this at all1
