Have we had BG's squad and new captain for the Third Test yet ?

No doubt he is on the phone to Banger as we speak...

Simple if we could talk Cook ninto coming back

Cook
Burns
Bairstow
Root
Buttler wk
Stokes Capt
Curran
Woakes
Archer
Broad
Leach

If we cannot talk Cook around we are in the s..t and will lose The Ashes.

A nice burst of JOFRA tonight would be exciting

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Not optimistic enough it seems, although I wasn't anticipating tea to be this late, at the close

262

38-2

Nudging towards the first prediction...

Incorrect as BANGER should be OPENING!

 

[Taybha]

Not sure Archer will get first dibs with the new ball but must get a bowl tonight surely

Well if you can get your final number sightly low (by two or so) as well then that'll do.

Hope you had a spread bet on today. [emoji23]

It would never happen if I put money on it, hopefully I will be two under on the right hand side

Broad & Woakes (given his prowess at Lord's) will open but Archer but must be first change...

[Hugo Rune]

It’s always special when Warner is put back in the hutch!

Three in a row for Broad v Warner, and that was a beaut! Nipped back, through the gate and hit top of middle and leg

The commentators are determined to get Archer off bowling duties

 

[dangull]

Its the national duty for the Australian convicts to beat England. In the same way New Zealand put all their best efforts in being the best in the World at rugby.

Archer will win us this series and many more to come.

I'm sure I saw a nine pace run up ball that was 89.6 mph.

Effortless.

It may be blind optimism but I really think Archer will get Smith early in this innings. I'm predicting a short ball (chest to armpit height) that will get Smith in an almighty mess and fending to gully.

We've got to get Khawaja or Bancroft out before that can happen
