If weve picked him, Stokes is injured you dont have much choice do you!
My views on Ed Smith are pretty well known lol

These England players do not know where their stumps are.
First one plays when he didn't have to.
Second one didn't protect them.
Jeez
Edit. What part of " stay there" does Denly not understand?

We need a full scale change. Not sure Root is up to the task especially in matches aren't going his way (easy when you're bossing a game) and definitely sure the selectors and ECB don't have a joined up plan to develop the next test players and make test cricket a priority

You have to laugh, we move Roy down to 4 and he still faces a ball before Denly does in this innings!

Sometimes you have to give credit to the bowler.
The one that got Root was a terrific delivery.
So much for trying to hide Roy a bit further down the order!

Cummins has been superb all series (without much luck), super super bowler

I like him. Not easy to say about any Aussie cricketer! Does a great job and doesn't feel the need to add the extra sledging and faux aggressive crap that Hazlewood does.

Hazlewood fulfills the perfect stereotype of almost every overseas pro you used to see in our league from Australia many years ago!

One of my sons and I attempted to pick a team of the series.
Obvious ones were Smith, Stokes, Cummins, Hazlewood and Broad.
Says a lot that we couldn't pick an opener or a keeper, weren't certain about a spinner and certainly failed to decide upon a captain!

An inexperienced Burns is averaging 40 so he deserves a spot, Labuschagne done pretty well for Aus coming in in tough situ too. Lyon flattered to deceive after his start, Leach done as well as could be expected for me.
Theres plenty of very very poor series on show though!

Yes, Labuschagne and Burns both made our list after a fuller "selectors meeting"
As for the rest perhaps we needed to take a leftfield Ed Smith approach.
Just need to find some square pegs for the round holes.

87 overs in 7 hours is an utter disgrace supposed to bowl 90 in 6 hours!
and the ICC just dont care, the umpires do nothing to stop the constant time wasting and the paying fan gets sold short time after time

Warner and Paine really don't get near it although neither do their English counterparts.
After Edgbaston Lyon hasn't really done anything. Bit like Archer post Lords although he did bowl much better this afternoon.
The seven we did pick would probably be too good for an eleven selected from the rest.😥
What a sad state of affairs.

Totally agree but then batsmen don't help.
Considering they were looking to set a target it was amazing how many times the Aussie batsmen weren't ready and the bowler had to wait on his mark.
