Really has to be Renshaw or Harris. Neither likely going to do much better than Warner, but they couldn't possibly be worse.

No way should Head open in England. It worked in India but completely different conditions. Perhaps Labs to open and play Green at 4 or 5? Might make Marnus value his wicket a bit more. Green can stick around, but seems to panic a bit when batting with the tail.

It seems they're pretty determined to keep Green in the side so Maybe both Marsh and Green for match 4 with Labs opening which he's pretty much doing already. Marsh having a good game to his credit.

Alternatively they could drop davey down the order and open with Labs.

Problem is who comes in at 3 since Smithy prefers 4. More than likely will just bring in Haze for Boland again for match 4.
As long as Bairstow stays we're a chance.

Really need to upgrade our AI when it comes to bowling at the tail though. It's kind of broken right now and gets stuck in a loop of bowling bouncers for some reason. Feels like a bug.

What the f**k is with the short shit barrage AGAIN?

Who's running this asylum? Stokes was absolutely loving the tactics.

Just about Warner's last test too. Should be his last on this tour. The nearest wheelie bin is a better option
Jonny Plodstow is Pom brah!!

The forecast for the next three days is pretty glum right at play time.

Looks like maybe an hour today and possibly a few hours tomorrow but that looks to be it.

Shame if so. Been an entertaining series. At least we'll retain the urn.

Play to start at 4:45pm local, I assume that's 11:45pm where I am and 1:45am for you lot on the East Coast.

34 overs scheduled - so the way England drag their feet when bowling it will be 20 odd overs.

So long as the rain stays away.
