What do you think the result will be for the next game kevin?

England to win

 

[PhilM]

England to win

People, now expect a comfortable Australian victory.

 

[Nymzee]

England to win

How does that work when you though it would be 4-0 Australia? Surely this is just a blip and you're going for 3-1

He doesn’t think, he knows. He does, however, change his knowing quite often. This is why I call him flip-flop.

3 in 3 that've gone to the wire.

Ashes series in England are never dull.

 

[PITA]

Test cricket is the peak of sport when played like that

Only because England won. When we lose close matches you whinge like a bitch.

England to win

Flip-flop!

Not true. Watching Angus Fraser and Phil DeFreitas getting pummelled all over by Steve Waugh, Alan Border etc ruined any passing interest I had in cricket at a young age.
Would be lucky to win a match in the late 80s-90s.

 

[Connor]

10 days rest and I think he'll be ok. If it was Thursday or Friday this week I'd agree to rest him but hes bowling too well to leave out.

Broad probably plays, just saying what I’d do

Seen enough at OT so far this season to know we’ll need the pace of Wood and another. Jimmy is Jimmy, it’s his home ground, you can’t leave him out. Woakes’ performance means he had to stay in now

 

[Lapeno77]

Perhaps it's sentiment (heart over head), but Jimmy at his home ground seems a no-brainer for me. He's still a phenomenal bowler and has all the experience.

OT and the Oval are back to back as well, only 4 days between. Maybe Tongue and Anderson in for Robinson and Wood. Keep Wood fresh for the Oval which will undoubtedly be set up to last all 15 sessions to secure the cash.

He didn’t think it would be 4-0. He knew it would be because he gets every call correct.

Maybe I should have said over the last 20 years.
