Mitch Marsh grew up on the WACCA against pace, he can play Wood at full tilt in his sleep.

[mattwalters]

Quality episode lads. I’m backing Root to make the difference in this test with the bat.

[clintbolton]

I think England should pick Tongue along with Wood for this test. Australia does not need a spinner on that track as Head can bowl all the overs we need from a spinner. As a draw would confirm we retain the Ashes I would put Nesar in for Boland for even more batting strength. I am.50 50 with Warner playing.

[MyPaddy]

The greatest insult would be to have the greatest test side in the world, beaten by a random collection of wounded Morris dancers who run their mouths on loop trying to qualify as entertainers for Cirque de Soleil and not giving a flying fxxx about the result.
Just shame, shame, shame.
Two to one and the entertainment is great.

[thornwivans]

Australia's one strong innings away from retaining the ashes, I expect Australia will pick Mitch Marsh and Green and are likely to drop Murphy as Cummins won't bowl him anyway. Cummins will be batting at number 10 so they will bat deep. It's gonna be tough for England to get Australia out 2 times cheaply enough to win this test ...especially with rain delays expected.

[alexdonnewell]

I would have also picked Tongue to come in (no pun intended) for Robinson. I thought Anderson would only be an option to come in for Broad if he wasn't fit enough after playing 3 tests in a row. Moeen at 3 is only in place to let everyone else bat where they want i.e. Root at 4, Brook at 5 and Stokes at 6. So as usual Moeen has to sacrifice himself for the team...

[JuddLofthouse]

ARE LOOK 😂😂excellent love it as ever great show gents 👌👌👌

[Jack-qvru]

Aussies didn’t trust Murphy last match and it cost them. I reckon neserwill come in and play Lyon’s role

[Alunticstalkedme]

You don't draw the Ashes, Australia either retains them or England don't win them.

[roobanloganathan]

4th test Eng team, 1 change, Anderson for Robinson, so maybe this will be the winning farewell match for Anderson in his home ground.
Hope Eng wins this match n set up the final match as grand as the football WC final is.

[Alunticstalkedme]

Not many mention that Australia had terrible luck having to bat on day 3 under heavy clouds. The ball did alot and then the sun of course came out after the changeover. Australia have had the worst conditons every match. England had 20 minutes at Edgbaston under clouds, they didn't loon great and then it was rained off.

[laurasands]

Can't believe that Ali, Anderson Robinson and Bairstow haven't been dropped, Tongue, Foakes and Dan Lawrence, Root can bowl the spin.

[roobanloganathan]

Can Eng play Bazball intelligently or Bazball must be played recklessly as thy did in the two earlier matches?
Bazball played recklessly s good enough to beat other teams as thy are not good enough to counter it but not against Aust as Aust is a team filled with winners.

Weather is going to spoil it . never rely on manchester
