Lol could these pommy f**kwits possibly have any more luck?
Who needs luck when the opposition selects Bancroft & Scissorhands over Burns & Patterson and also leaves out Starc & Hazlewood.

God bless your selectors.

They're the gifts that have kept on giving, and giving and giving, ever since the day they had to actually use their brains to do their f**king jobs post the era of auto selecting the greatest Test XI of all time over a quick coffee.

*edit* remember when their biggest selection call annually was whether or not to select Stuart MacGill as a 2nd spinner in Sydney to back up Pigeon, Warne and Dizzy/Binga? Tough job that. Really earned their reputations and pay packets.

Re Starc, they’re unlikely to play him with Pattinson & Cummins. It’s probably not a choice then between Siddle or Starc. The balance of the lineup matters.


I don’t see much being different yesterday if Hazlewood had of played.

I think Hazlewood is a more dangerous bowler, even out of form.

The stage is set for a classic Aussie collapso here...poms will know if they get smiffy cheaply, we are gone

We make Broad look like Botham and Miller combined on his own shitheap. Every single time.

You always seem to deathride our teams. NSW won game 3 after you congratulated QLD on their win. Hoping our boys can use it to their advantage

Just like the amazing last play of the decider, it would take a turnaround not seen for over a decade...but i hope so!

Finally. Needed to happen 50 or 60 runs ago.
Need Warner and Bancroft to erase a really good chunk of this deficit before departing if we're to set a hard target.
Probably need around 340 runs this innings to be a realistic chance.
