We will then hit 500 in 75 overs to set them 470 to win, Joe Root will then take 8fer as we bowl them out for 88

How is Robinson an in form replacement for Broad? Broad has been THE man. Sure, you could say he needs a rest, but the game England won had Broad contributing and Robinson pulling out like a battered wuss and the game they were going to win had Broad contributing. The best thing England did was get Robinson out of the team and replace him with woakes/wood. He has not been better than Broad. The game he got his 5 were cheap wickets. Broad was, is, and always will be the man against Australia, and always plays except when he says no.

Robinson wasn’t actually pulled out for Woakes/Wood but I agree generally. Broad has been our best bowler this series and that’s the main reason he is playing.

Thinking about it, the scorecard's not dissimilar to when Broad delivered his first ever match winning spell at this ground back in 2009.

I think he may have faked it, to save his average. He is a weak **** - makes big trolling press releases and then can't handle it when others don't set him up to look good with cheap wickets. Anderson is a better pick than Robinson. When Anderson gets it right he is much more dangerous and when he doesn't he Robinson with better economy and speed.

Again this is another good opportunity to get a good lead after bowling England out under par. Think there’s only been like an 100 plus lead once after both teams have batted their first innings this series
Before yesterday Robinson had a better series average than the three Aussie quicks.

if an aussie quick has gone past him after the 4th test debacle, that just shows he is tosh.

I hope we bat all day and end up with a decent lead midway through tomorrow.

That's the dream, but no chance it will be the reality.

Well, I'm much better at hoping than you are, so strap yourself in.

Broad looked knackered at OT, Robinson has had 3 weeks off and has a great record at The Oval. It's not rocket science. But I could've gone with Broad and just swapped Robinson for Anderson.

From an England perspective, that's what I expect to happen. But this series has generally seen teams quickly throw away any kind ascendency they seem to have, so who knows?

Robinson was way off the boil earlier in the series. There was a mild hint from Ali Martin in the Guardian that he's not kept up all the fitness work that clearly helped him so much last summer and in the winter.
