[JJ]

Agreed,he's on the verge of greatness

Yeah, agree - England (Roy) and Australia (Marsh) doing opposites with two future greats... weird

Ken Rutherford would have averaged at least 80 in this era bruh

 

[Pete Cash]

My sheets are getting a little damp with this news boys.... could be a full on flood on the cards for this weekend

 

[Mr Spock!]

Wtf!

Why drop Head for Marsh?

Marsh should come in for an opener.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Our team should be

Smith
Cummins
Starc
Pattinson
Hazelwood
Lyon
A WK
4 fielders.

Batting

Commence innings at 3/0 and let Smith come in with a runner.
Smith gets out, declare.

Then bowl.

 

[Pete Cash]

If Stokes can't bowl i probably agree with Englands move. They like 3 quicks + an all rounder and its not like Curran is gonna bat worse than Roy

I've always loved Blazing Saddles.

For no reason, I always laugh at the bit where they're rustling up a posse and asking for experiences.

Stampeding cattle...
That's not much of a crime.
Through the Vatican.

And

Rape, arson, murder and rape.
You said rape twice.
I like rape.

Now, I am a bit wrong. I admit that. It makes me howl with laughter. I know, I know...I'm wired wrong.

Right now, hearing M Marsh is in...that's how I'm reacting. Howls of laughter. Guffaws, gulps of air, then more moist eyed laughter.

Ahhhh... JL, the Mel Brooks of cricket coaches.

 

[TheParraboy]

Can only think they want an allrounder in the side cause the deck may be a batting belter and they don't want to over work the bowlers? What else is there?.

Other than Labuschagne and Smith everyone else could have been dropped in the top 6, especially the openers.(Not sure if it is worth promoting Labuschagne to opener)

If it is made for batting, and we manage to score big, hope we don't give the poms any generous declarations. Bat them out of a win, make them fight for a draw

Watch the arsey merkin score 200 now.

 

[Tweed Titan]

Extremely disappointed to read that Jason Roy has been dropped, I think the England selectors swung the axe too soon and should give him one more Test.

Pretty sure he’s averaging more than Warner this series. I can’t believe our useless selectors haven’t figured out Warner can’t bat outside Australia yet. Idiots.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Our selectors are double agents.

England select Denly and Roy - we select Wade and Siddle.

England select Curran - we select Marsh.


It's a conspiracy.

 

[TheParraboy]

Could be worse guys, The Rig could have been express drafted in

 

[TheParraboy]

Watch the arsey merkin score 200 now.

gosh that would be the biggest LOL @ Poms ever...

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Could be worse guys, The Rig could have been express drafted in

Good idea
4 Admiral
5 Bison
6 Rig
7 Paineful

Helluva middle order

 

[The Mad Hatter]

English media now saying Steve Smith isn't a legit bat unless he gets a 300 and 400 in the same game.

 

[Meapro Ham]

I guess the selectors thinking on Marsh is that whatever team they pick there will be 4 shit batsmen so they may as well pick one that can bowl a bit
