It's hard to say.

Having seriously struggled through a few near 40 degree days of cricket, often just the exhaustion and the general soreness make you walk like a 90 pear old man. Hopefully that's what it is and he's not injured, the selectors should be lined up and shot if he is, they will be 100% responsible.


why? arent we supposed to pick our best bowlers? Clearly Cummins is in our top bracket

If we are concerned him breaking down or worried about the heat, then should have been left at home

Seemed to go ok in India, bowled out of his skin there

Maxwell's dropped catch cost us dearly, he was asleep in slips with hands on knees when the ball was edged and it really was a sitter at an easy height.

Surprised we picked 3 spinners on a pitch that has no spin.


We probably thought we would win the toss and bat first id say

Because picking him as our sole quick with his injury history is just asking for trouble....

I read that Wade took a screamer to strike back against his critics...

Please tell me thats true. It's both hilarious and England's best chance of only losing 4 nil instead of 5 nil if Wade plays the Ashes.

agree balance of the side could have been better however...

Id be more concerned if he breaks down early in an ashes test than over here as the sole paceman.
Our batsmen and spinners are the ones that need to assure we dont get into trouble, something we cant do in these conditions, an extra paceman unless its a McGrath or Starc in top form wont help us too much

Bring back MMarch?

Agar takes a wicket, Smith replaces him for Maxwell next over. Maxwell gets hit for 6 straight away to let them over the psychological 300 run mark.

You couldn't script the stupidity sometimes.

Why would you bowl Maxderp??? Smith doesn't bowl him in one day games but gives him a run in test matches. Madness.

All out for 305, good effort by the bowlers IMO. Lets see if the batsman can do the job for once.
