Fabulous start from Mitch.
Well at lunch the 400 looks on.Think we'll get 400 to be honest. Unless Johnson has a brilliant spell first up in the morning no reason why we shouldn't as the attack isn't that threatening.
On what i have seen of their spinners this winter i'd take O'Keefe and Hauritz.Next test engagement for Aus is in Sri Lanka. Can't see Beer playing there and probably a good chance he won't even tour.
Hildreth is still a road warrior for me. Over 75% of his FC hundreds have come at home. Don't like watching Taylor bat. As tortuous as watching Cook. Best batsman in the country after Morgan who isn't playing test cricket is Jimmy Adams. Shame he is an opener. Had a phenomenal past few years and he is very easy on the eyes.Well I would, but you're right, Morgan is the next in line. Should have listed him.
**** knows. What a horrible selection. A specialist number 7.So why was Steve Smith picked in this team if they are going to bat him below the wicketkeeper and not bowl him at all in the first 80 overs?
So would I and presumably Aus will play two spinners. Good job both men can bat, probably going to need it there.On what i have seen of their spinners this winter i'd take O'Keefe and Hauritz.
Would leave Smith out, not ready yet and can only harm him playing him now.
That's exactly what I came here to postSo why was Steve Smith picked in this team if they are going to bat him below the wicketkeeper and not bowl him at all in the first 80 overs?
If he keeps this up, he'll surpass Herbert Sutcliffe (734 runs) into second place for most runs in an Ashes series for England. If he gets another 199 runs, he'll knock off Wally Hammond (905 runs) for most runs for England in the Ashes, but it is fair to say that it won't be happening700 up for Cook
... which guarantees him a series average of 100
Not so hard to do that when you chuck it like he does.
To clarify, I meant spin bowler. Smith bowls darts and Hauritz just floats it up there without anything on the ball.Mitch bowls them as well.
Pics or GTFO.Smith is like the guy you let in the team purely to satisfy his milf mother who picks him up every day at practise.
He can't bat, can't bowl.

Wish I had sky.70 more runs and Nasser is wearing the pink suit...
