Won't be surprised if Head rises to the occasion.Tongue will give Head a hard time
Good though in it?Interesting to note that, with England's new style of play, opposition's bowlers don't get as many miles in their legs. Disparity in the overs bowled by Aus and England bowlers is quite significant so Aust bowlers would remain comparatively fresh
I’m hope they go hard after HeadWon't be surprised if Head rises to the occasion.
Nothing is easyGood though in it?
should be an easy 5-0 to Australia then, don’t you think?
Not really though. It’s only attacking cricket trying to win the game.Nothing is easy
But England has to win this. If they lose here, all the good work they've done last summer and over in Pakistan would mostly go down the toilet as their own media and pundits will turn against them. For the short term future of bazball, this game is a knock out
Well you are losing the Ashes at home after 22 yearsNot really though. It’s only attacking cricket trying to win the game.
that word is seared into the heads of overseas cricket fans. It’s just media driven rubbish
all they are doing is playing in a T20 style in a test match. That’s all it is
so no, it’s not a knockout even if defeat comes. It will continue for a whole lot longer and England attacking makes a change from just let the opposition walk all over them, which happened between 1987 and 2005
I know it’s not accepted but that’s all it is
To be seenWell you are losing the Ashes at home after 22 years
I'm thinking there will be better puns when he's bowling to Head.I'm really looking forward to a Tongue-Root batting partnership in this match.
with those bouncers he will ironicallyTongue will give Head a hard time
Cummins will then be all over them.Won't be surprised if Head rises to the occasion.
I don't think that will be the case unlike we got an absolute hammering in the series.Nothing is easy

I would not count wickets or runs against Ireland whatsoever. Tongue for me has not played a test match and to give him his debut against the best side in the world is high risk to say the least.I'm surprised a bit by the Tongue selection, he really has come from nowhere.
He bowled decently enough against Ireland but no more than that and not well enough to leapfrog the likes of Woakes and Potts.
Presumably they like what they see and maybe he's been tearing it up in the nets.
A bowler whose probably not gonna take the new ball , will probably come on as 4th change seamer and bats at no.10 ..That's a tough ask setting the youngster up for failure.I would not count wickets or runs against Ireland whatsoever. Tongue for me has not played a test match and to give him his debut against the best side in the world is high risk to say the least.
I bet you can't name the other 7?
- Nathan Lyon, who becomes the eighth player to put together 100 consecutive Tests, needs five wickets to reach 500
