Haven't seen any footage. Hoping that its just great bowling or the pitches.

Need more runs from our top order hopefuls. Marnus and Khawaja made runs in Brisbane last week. Got another good opportunity in Adelaide which is usually good to bat on too.

Reckon Marnus as opener for the ashes, Smith to 3

They probably want to inc both Webster and Green in the 6

Webster/Green would be locked in I think. Particularly with the bowling workload and our ageing attack.

Marnus is firming. Patterson hasn't done much in his last 3 innings unfortunately and Konstas hasn't looked good for a while now as well.

If they pick Labs as an opener again we almost deserve to lose the Ashes tbh.

Just pick Jake Weatherbald for a couple of series, let some youngsters like Konstas and Kellaway and whoever else sort their shit and grow up. His form was outstanding last year and still good this year and he's been through having to sort his game out.

NSW 6-134. Fergie has destroyed us with 5 wickets.

Khawaja made 46. Labs on 36* and again striking pretty high over 70.

Marnus reaches 50. Looks very comfortable and scoring quite quickly.

Appears to be a fairly benign pitch to me. Its Adelaide. Only a lapse in concentration should see him miss out on another 100.

Marnus tons up.

Striking at 75. Noticeable shift in his scoring rate since the WTC.

Are we about to see the new Marnus open the batting and unleash on England's hapless bowling attack?
