May as well bat till Bell gets another ton then declare. That is more than enough and plenty of time to win it.

 

[TT Boy]

Aus have gone.

huge call

 

[TT Boy]

huge call

I thought they were bowling well and keeping England in check?

 

[Maximas]

huge call

still favourites IMO

 

[LegionOfBrad]

They're talking about KP maybe out next test with a calf strain. Considering he's been dog**** this series maybe not such a bad thing.

 

[Furball]

Surely if KP is injured then Compton bats 4?

i thought that ceased to happen on day 3 at trent bridge

 

[LongHopCassidy]

Yeah, look, Ashy boy, you're the feel good story of the series but you're carrying two niggles and your batting average had dropped by two thirds.

Lyon to prove the doubters wrong.

Cook to four and Compton to open.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Bell bats 4, not sure if Bairstow moves to 5 but if KP is out then Bell moves up.

 

[ajdude]

i knew we should've picked philander

 

[ajdude]

Bell bats 4, not sure if Bairstow moves to 5 but if KP is out then Bell moves up.

yeah bell needs to stop hiding down the order, a senior batsman shouldn't be batting at 5 imo

 

[Cabinet96]

Surely if KP is injured then Compton bats 4?

Yup. Don't know why they're looking at all these other middle order guys. Compton is a number 3 FFS, he can bat 4.

Meanwhile. #BellsAshes

 

[Spark]

Mmkay. Night all

1 bad test and KP being out is not a bad thing?, absolutely mental.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

I would have Compton in. But I doubt they will. The guy has 2 test centuries vs non for the competition.

As an aside I think they're going to declare tonight.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Bat all out today I think. If they'd not have batted like they were in a coma earlier then declaring tonight would have been fine.

Now you're looking at setting the crims 600 over 2 days.

Yeah perhaps a little harsh from me there heh. I asked Selvey on twitter. He says possibly Taylor or Balance.
