It is very surprising that both Broad and Anderson aren't playing (if true). I can only guess the complete lack of match practice in their cases has ruled them out more than anything. Broad was injured at the end of the English summer and Anderson being 39. Both warmups more or less been rained off, plus the outside netting they've missed due to the rain. It ain't much but Wood and Woakes have been playing some cricket even if it was 20 over stuff. Not exactly promising for England's chances to have neither of them playing.

I've just reached out to Maximas to ask about an update from Geelong. Eagerly awaiting his response.

Really? He nicks Warner off in the first five overs it's on again. They seem to be placing a lot of faith in getting result in Adelaide. Ballsy. Aus hasn't lost a D/N test to date afaik.

Presumably Robinson, Wood, Woakes, Stokes, Leach is the attack then?

If the new Kookaburra doesn’t swing today, it should be fired into the sun as it’s perfect bowling conditions

 

[Red]

Gilly just seems like the best bloke. What a fantastic cap presentation

 

[Alex0paul]

Would’ve gone for Broad over Woakes

 

[Burgey]

Poms win toss and bat. Root confirms no Broad or Anderson.

 

[ImpatientLime]

Absolutely, unless he as going to bowl absolute piss like in 17/18.

Predicting Starc to fire up deluxe here. Very lean last summer under tough circumstances. Hope Warne chokes on his own erectus by the end of the second test.

 

[Starfighter]

Damn I was hoping England would bowl first so I get to see some different bowlers.

 

[Alex0paul]

Gilchrist looking a bit rough

Oh god I’m so tired

BT coverage is terrible. Is Cook on a bonus to pretend England are competitive?

 

[Starfighter]

At least England haven't meme picked five fast bowlers.
