Ashes 2025/6

...and from England, Root takes Marnus' spot, Brook takes Inglis'spot - and I'd take Stokes over Green. Maybe Duckett over Weatherald? Pretty much the same as NZ - our best batsmen supplant their worst.
You might briefly look at Archer vs Hazlewood, but nah...
Bold call making Green the highest paid ever overseas IPL player. Doesn't immediately spring to mind as an alltime MVP.
-
The interesting thing is this Australian lineup is that it is about as 'fragile' as an Aussie side ever gets at home.
No Smith or Hazlewood, some soft top order shots, and currently they can't dislodge Stokes and Archer. Yet are still ahead in the game by a long way (for now)...

Archer over Boland probably - but neither are displacing a fit Hazlewood...
Matt Henry competitive with Boland for us, but not Hazlewood.

I would be asking him if he could get me the hamburger he was describing in the break

@bayimports Will give them a tiny window to win - a somewhat better chance of a draw.
Both still pretty slim chances in my book. With Lyon vs Jacks and bowling last, Oz appear to have the trump card.

think they are a spin bowler short myself

Now THIS is the Adelaide i am used to
-
Thata boy Archer, absolutely carrying England this match. Crawley, Duckett, Pope, take note of how your best bowler has shown you how to bat in a test match.
-
Archer goes for 51, that's a hell of a knock from him given the circumstances. Has given England an absolute sliver of hope, but, they're going to have to fucking roll the Aussies on a very good batting pitch, so still almost no chance unless Archer can really fire up.
-
Arguably England's best couple of sessions of the series, simply by virtue of showing a bit of guts.

1 down 9 to go, comon lads!
