And bring in Harris?
Warner batted well first dig against India and I thought looked good in the First Test without cashing in (probably more the second innings, didn't see much of the first). Very useful in the field.
He can have the whole series IMO.

5-183 would've been hard to go to bed.
We'd have been decent favs at that point

I didn't get up and go to bed, I fell asleep on the couch and woke up a few hours later after the Cum Man had already won it for us.

"CumBall" was trending on twitter.
Was a risk to click on that, but thankfully was Ashes related.

I stayed up until about 1.30 when Carey got out. We'd just lost Green, Khawaja and Carey and still needed 55, I thought we were done. I was surprised and Stoked when I woke up.
After getting a firsthand look at Bazzball I'm not sold it will work against the better teams. Especially away from home in India or Australia. Its just attack at all costs but test cricket ebbs and flows. Sometimes you have to stick in there and tough it out when the other teams on top. I like the defensive and hard yakka of test cricket. It just seems a bit arrogant to think you can bully and attack no matter the situation.
Might be why I'm not a huge fan of T20.

Nice stat from Cricinfo: The last time Australia successfully chased a 250+ total was against South Africa in 2011. The winning runs were hit by Pat Cummins.

Checked a forum at around 4am this morning, for a while I was confused when the post was 'CUMSHOT WRECKS 11 MEN"

Of course that flog was born in campaigner.
Also, turns out declaring early in the 1st innings is NOT a good idea. Whodathunkit.

Hopefully they don't.
One of Hazelwood or Boland needs to be dropped for Starc. They are going to score at a quick rate no matter who we bowl. So best off selecting the bowler who is the best striker and balances the bowling team with pace and being a left armer. Also deepens the batting.
Astonishing win considering we got next to nothing out of Labs or Smith.

I like the idea of Boland using the Lord's slope like McGrath used to. I also like Hazelwood in the side And I like the idea of Starc's point of difference.
Decisions decisions. There's no wrong answer here and whoever the selectors go with there will be plenty who disagree.

If you get a proper English wicket for the next test you’d keep the same attack and say ‘best of luck’ to England maintaining 5 an over against them.
Another road though and I agree Starc should come in.

Without the declaration we probably wouldn’t have won. So it was a fantastic idea that worked out perfectly!

The biggest downside of bazball is England didn't score any more runs than they would normally have .
They just scored them very fast leaving our bowlers fresh and Cherry ripe for the next test. Unlike their bowlers who bowled 217 overs and did a mountain of work our bowlers bowled 144 overs .
We hardly even used green
