Any changes for the 4th Test


I like good cricket, no matter who plays it and the reason why it's my favourite sport is its because of not who's playing but the Test match/series itself and the Ashes are the pinnacle for me. I understand the rightful bitter disappointment (It's a bloody shame how poor England have been) but Australia have shown how to be aggressive and use the noggin when needed.

I'm not an Aussie 😀
What I am doing is engaging in discussion on cricket. No hidden agenda I can assure you.

Spot on mate 👍 The problem I think with Chopsy is he has no cricketing background either playing or watching Durham or others ..He tends to scroll a lot of forums both cricket and football then cuts and pastes.Often when it's already been posted

To be honest only Root (one innings), Stokes and Archer few can say they deserve to play in the next game.

Only change needed is for the coach to leave.These players are the best we have.Just been destroyed by the coach.Michael Vaughan to take over for last two games so we can come home with two wins

Some of us have played against Test players and for local clubs . Thereafter watched various levels from club to international so I think we have some good idea about the game. So I suggest you chill out and enjoy the noble game rather than reanact your junior school days

Why act as if you know me
 
I'd have Pope, Carse, Jacks out.
Smith to lose the gloves and focus on batting.

Need a WK with energy - Foakes, Rew.

Cox probably earned a chance with the bat.

Spinner - I'm not picking Bashir, Hartley probably isn't a terrible shout.

Aye she’s absolutely great in comparison to ebbs on TNT! Don’t mind Isa Guha either with the right partner

I don't mind ERB, I'm not sure on Hartley, she makes some decent points and isn't afraid to call things out but her voice is annoying and she lacks a bit of eloquence at times in her delivery.
 
Pretty much agree with the above. I’d go:

Crawley
Cox
Stokes
Root
Brook
Rew
Smith (wk)
Hartley
Atkinson/Potts
Archer
Tongue

Not sure about Cox opening, but he and Rew are next cabs off the rank. Duckett and Pope out. Both look shot. Hartley in as we literally have no other viable spinner in Australia (assuming he still is). Stokes to bat 3 for now, with Rew at 6. Smith currently keeps the gloves.

0% chance they do this though. Way too stubborn.
