Smith and Labuschagne must be got out soon.
Maybe we both have to think twice about not selecting Archer for our combined teamBut of course this exercise is to pick the XI of this Ashes, otherwise Anderson should be in there despite only featuring for five minutes. Agreed Warner is *normally* better than Denly.
Archer has blown hot and cold for me - the others have been more hot than cold.
Not a bad days effort so far, making it through to the new ball with half your wickets intact. A handy 350 odd lead already, let's hope that the tail wags steadily and that Jack gets the Aussie bowlers all "steamed up" in frustration !Burns out. Root just out. Denly battling bravely as his ballz become a target for those nasty Aussie bowlers. Lets hope there's no collapse.
It's been a good day. Buttler and Denly have finally hit good form : what a pity they couldn't have performed better from the start!Not a bad days effort so far, making it through to the new ball with half your wickets intact. A handy 350 odd lead already, let's hope that the tail wags steadily and that Jack gets the Aussie bowlers all "steamed up" in frustration !
A pack of 300 grit sandpaper sheets from B&Q.Just seen the BBC publish a stat saying the the average Aussie opening partnership is just 13 runs.
I do expect Steve Smith to get man of the series.
