What’s the opinions on Harry Brook? I really don’t like the way he bats. Not sure who else we have to put in.

I’d have had Foakes in for the third test like.

Has done very well but needs calm down a little and find an answer to what the aussies have brought, he has looked a bit hectic but there is quality there imo
 
Brook is going to be a mainstay in all 3 formats for a long, long time. Mightily unlucky at Edgbaston, and as frustrating as it is when he plays / gets out like he has at Lords, he’s an exceptional talent who has started his international career superbly.

Tbf he was also dropped before the very unlucky dismissal if I remember correctly

Has huge talent, and he’s got away with it so far. But he needs to rein it in. You can’t slap every ball for 4.

Look at Stokes today. Played himself in and then went big.

He seems to think it’s a massive laugh, it’s not
 
I'm not optimistic for the win but far more excited for the match than I would have been any other 2-0 down.

Australia are a far better side but they've, for whatever reason, been pushed pretty close by an average and weird England one. If Aussie reach their level it's no contest but there's something off there they're on edge and especially after the stuff today I think that's going to get even more exacerbated.

By the same token it's enfuriatng England haven't cut their throat when on top as they've had the chance in both matches. They have to learn how to kill attacks rather than just clobber them.

Wood must play, and sad to say its Jimmy who should drop out. I'd consider Ali for Robinson as well.

Yep those are the changes I’d make. Jimmy and England will want him to play old Trafford so makes sense to give him a rest now.

I have tickets for first three days and cannot wait. Looking forward to giving abuse to the Aussies, especially the cheaters, Smith and Warner.

It’s water off a ducks back at this stage mate. I’d rather the crowd give Cummins it as he’s probably never had it in his life.
