Sigh. All too predictable.
May I do a Glenn McGrath and predict 5-0 to Aus?You may.
Looking at England they've still got quality - scoring 300ish in the second innings is a solid performance - but Australia found a way to come back.
With Warner probably broken and a couple of the bowlers already looking a bit shabby, the question is whether they can do it again.
Nice try mate but your kit are still unbackable favourites.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a turnaround though. The pitch is different. Bowlers will have worked out their plans better. Root may have woken up in his captaincy etc etc.
It is cricket and stranger things have happened.Our attack consists of two guys that are legends but so old they need to be “managed”. Plus Stokes who can come up with the goods occasionally but has had no cricket and Robinson who is a guy who is not yet trusted.
Our batting is all about one man.
We have mediocrity in depth.

I’m not sure I’d call Anderson or Broad “legends”……I mean they’re third and sixth on the all time test wicket takers list but that’s probably down to extreme longevity ( which is still to be admired ) more than anything.

Hazlewood ruled out of the Adelaide Test - @mariner4life instantly loses his stiffy.

Bogan Name warning:
Jhye Richardson is probably favoured to replace him but Michael Neser just took a Michelle and averaged 9.28 with the ball in a MOTM performance against the English B team

NSFW - this is what Head got done for in the pitch mic. Yeah he's calling himself a fluffybunny but still...

I think every bloke on earth has done that no matter what the level of cricket they were playing.

@nta Richardson has more pace and probably a little more along in terms of his development, but I’m hearing that Neser is a bit of a gun with the pink ball.
If I were an Oz selector I’d get rid of Harris and open with Kawaja

Apparently the ribs are bruised and he should be right to play.
Got to agree tho - Harris has done fuck all to justify his spot at Test level. Boot him.

If Cummins is a potential close contact, and tests postive, then the whole fucking team is a close contact.

@nta Well if the circumstances are as reported (a diner at the table nearby received his COVID positive notification while at the dinner table, and proceeded to inform nearby patrons) that's not the case as presumably Cummins would have had no contact with teammates after that moment.

Seems seriously strange that he was out at dinner at all given what the commentators have been saying about the protocols.
