1) Smith isn’t eligible to be captain
2) We are in the box seat to win this series
3) Do you have any idea how many times I typed a response here and deleted it? Jesus

Finch? Are you drunk?
How is he not doing that? We are on the verge of winning or retaining the Ashes in England, something we haven’t achieved for 18 years.
Is Aaron Finch’s test average better than Tim Paine’s? I already know the answer to this question so I’m happy to hear your case when it comes to how to get the best out of this fragile and flawed outfit that is about to hold their own on English soil.

Can I change my vote?
Even eddiesmith wouldn't suggest something that silly.

He would, he barracks for The Rest of the World XI.
Isn't it that he can't skipper for a year after coming back in? Or am I making that up? Besides, there must be a better skipper than him. Paine/Langer at least use the bowlers well.

Shame Wade didn't make it to stumps. Only being 4 down looks and feels a whole lot better than being 6 down.
Crazy how many want Smith back as skipper, shithouse leader of men and tactically inept. Let him focus on scoring runs.

He was banned from all international and domestic cricket for 12 months starting from 29 March 2018. and was not to be considered for a leadership role for 12 months after that.
Right at the moment I would make our best player the captain (not including Smith) - Pat Cummins.
9th over: England 17-2 (Burns 7, Denly 0) Preferring to bowl the right-handed Denly, by the looks, Cummins is seaming the ball a mile. Coming down the hill with the sun on his shoulders, one comes in and isn’t too far from off stump, another hits the pad without Denly offering a shot and is pretty close to lbw, a third cuts the batsman in half and is taken by Paine a couple of metres down the leg side, and a fourth does the same from a fuller length, through the gate, and somehow misses off stump by a whisker. Denly might as well be taking guard at square leg for all the part that he played in that over.
If anyone doesn't read the Guardian OBO, it's well worth a read with the description of the Aus bowling this morning.

Great day but shame we lost Wade and Paine so late. It would have been useful to get a lead of 400 but anything over 325 would be a bonus.

If we could get to 350 i'd be feeling pretty good. Not sure this team has 350 in them given they way they're batting
Excuse me? We're likely going to romp to our first away ashes win in nearly 20 years. Only a #### wit would want any of the 4 quicks that have done the job out for Starc right now. Have a think please. Lyon will dominate regardless.
Starc is a good one day bowler and an inconsistent test one who loses confidence and his way very quickly and releases pressure on the opposition. Also regardless of what the speed gun says or what he can do in one day games he fails to really hurry the batsmen or impose himself.
Yea I want at least 350 as a lead just to completely put it to bed.

Marnus could chime in for one or two as well
Gee waking up today the Media thinks we have already won the Ashes after last night's performance, but no way we have won this . There is still 3 days of Cricket left. We are in a good position but we have only got under 300 runs lead. No way this is enough yet
