I know our batting struggled last Test but I'm not sure bringing Mark Cosgrove into the squad is going to fix things.

It's to get inside Bairstow's head before the lunch break. 'Hey, did someone see Stewy Dew go into the tea room?'

It will be a farce if they shuffle Warner back in the batting order to protect him.

Absolutely….changes nothing….one hand tied behind back before we begin…nice guy but this is a chance to win series on their turf….l hope lm proved wrong about my feelings.

Murphy dropped for Green.

Murphy dropped for Green.

Fair enough as Cummins won’t bowl him

Forecast not looking good.

2mm rain Friday, 15 Saturday and 10 on Sunday

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Murphy dropped for Green.

Good decision. Strengthens the batting and with rain forecast the conditions will suit the quicks

Looks great - we only have to draw.

What do you mean? Thats a fantastic forecast. Ashes retain by shitty english weather would be sensational

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Murphy dropped for Green.

I had forgotten until reading it this morning that Old Trafford favours quicks. Also that Australia hasn’t lost there for about 50 years.

 

[Marstermind]

Having a bowler in the team who the captain won't bowl is like playing one short. A bit of a kick in the teeth for Murphy but ultimately the right call. So is dropping Boland. But retaining Warner is pretty spineless. His record in England is poor. His record in this series is poor. His record in the last 2 years is poor.

I know you are a little bit older than me but why would you need a blankie to watch The Front Bar for?
