Can we play you every week?

Bill Manspeaker · July 12, 2015, 02:29:22 AM

and that's it

what a terrible start :(

Jukes · July 12, 2015, 02:33:29 AM

8 minutes away from having the win on the Saturday and make it an absolutely perfect day for me :'(

Ringo · July 12, 2015, 08:23:03 AM

What changes should we make?

Marsh for Watson a near certainty imo.

Is it time to blood Peter Neville for Haddin?

If Starc's foot injury flares Siddle the obvious replacement.

Think we have to persevere with Voges.

Well done to the Poms for completely outplaying us in all aspects. This is the best fielding and catching I have seen from an English team for a number of years.

Will be a very tight series but we now go to Lords where we have an excellent record although we have to perform.

Jay · July 12, 2015, 11:10:40 AM

Shaun Marsh in for Watson. We don't need Mitch's bowling.
Nevill in for Haddin
Harris on one leg in for Starc :P

With Voges bowling we shoulda turfed watto and just played SMarsh.

Won't happen with Mark Waugh on the selection panel. Watson is his golden child.

How to bat like Shane Watson

1. Make a start
2. Get out LBW when your team needs you to dig in
3. Waste a review
4. Repeat in the 2nd innings

called it.

Jukes · July 12, 2015, 02:18:35 PM

Isn't it obvious

1. Harris
2. Bancroft
3. Klinger
4. Voges
5. Marsh
6. Marsh
7. Whiteman
8. Agar
9. Behrendorff
10. Coulter-Nile
11. Johnson

Also,
'15: Number of times in the last 17 Ashes that the team taking a 1-0 lead has won the series. Exceptions were in 2005 and 1997.'
Weren't you guys all guaranteeing that Aus would win the series comfortably?
