2019 ASHES: 3rd Test Australia v England, Leeds Aug 22-26

[bazza]

Can't drop Siddle for Pattinson,Siddle was the only one who hung around with Smith in the 1st test when he scored 44,we wouldn't be up 1-0 right now without Siddle

Pattinson's 47no in the 2nd innings doesn't count,we were on top by then,he scored a duck in the 1st innings when the pressure was on


Neither of these guys are batsman so my post is actually irrelevant when you think about

Could bring Patterson into the team anyway
The bowlers get more runs than the 'batsmen' so could work out anyway

Warner
Khawaja
Labuschagne
Head
Wade
Cummins
Patterson
Paine
Siddle
Lyon
Hazelwood

I wonder if they made poor Steve Smith open his mouth and stick that Paddle Pop stick down there,you notice when you go to the local GP with a broken leg or half your toe bitten off and they still stick the Paddle Pop stick down the mouth,that's a dead set gee up

Worst thing is that they're used paddle pop sticks.

Watch out for Warner possibly playing at 4 if Smith is out.

I have a horrible feeling that after what Archer did they’ll recall Starc, ‘give him a licence’ and he’ll go for six an over.

SMH saying they’ll make a decision tomorrow

Interesting, I’ve had my tv on ch10 all night ( love Survivor and are you paying attention) and just saw that news update once on Steve Smith being ruled out. Kitty Flannigan special on now and nothing further

I reckon he will play, just a hunch

That’s ok

If Starcy takes 7/48 off 8 overs what’s the problem again?

Looks like the best side to me...

Yeah, that's a risk with Starc, but surely they see the only thing Starc and Archer have in common is the pace...

Starc is a wicket taker though, no mistake

Smith ruled out of the 3rd test

Ch10 news during ad break in Survivor

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd it’s gone!!!

 

[Twizzle]

No google news updates ruling him out, lots of speculation both ways so none of the media have a f**king clue, as usual

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Maybe someone called Steve got voted out of survivor???

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Both Marshes in...ouch.

 

[TheParraboy]

Maybe someone called Steve got voted out of survivor???

no one got voted off

the surfer dude, broke a bone in his ankle, and limped off the show

[Eelectrica]

Big decisions for England to make.
Broad, Anderson, Woakes and Archer could make up quite the bowling attack for the 4th and fifth test.
Well against us anyway.

Or perhaps Anderson is now done with Archer showing what he's got.

Anderson will replace Woakes I’d imagine.

Yes, that thought crossed my mind as well, but Woakes hasn't been too bad either of late.

With England keeping the same side, I guess that means Jason Roy keeps his spot for another game. Happy days, even happier if we actually catch Burns on one of 10 chances he gives our fielders.
