Stop the Steal!
If they were smart, they'd rest one of Hazelwood and Starc with the tight turnaround between this and the SA series, and how much they all bowled yesterday. Not holding my breath though.

Good to see the selectors show some dare.
Fastest bowler in Australia gets shock Test call
Cummins injury throws team into chaoswwos.nine.com.au
Pretty sure Nesser is in the squad already and the most likely to get the call up if they opt for 2 changes (Boland and Nesser).Surprised it wasn’t Neser, who has also been in excellent form (and usually the selectors just go with the guy who has been the next cab in the rank for a while, which Neser has been along with Boland and Jhye when healthy).
Anyway, big credit to Morris for putting in the work on his consistency to the point where he’s in the frame for Australia selection.
Boland is extremely unlucky he's behind that trio for test matches.
Who else has had such a ridiculous start to their career?
Actually thought that Pakistan would win this when they got down to 80 something runs to win with 5 wickets in hand, but I foolishly forgot the time-honoured Pakistani tradition of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory by failing in mind-boggling ways.

Loved the short leg on his knees. Couldn't get any closer to the pitch.These fields are epic
Dodgy Pakistan is out. Well done England. Australia were set up by s**t bullshit pitch earlier on in the year trying only for drawn matches and pakistan succeeded in getting two.
All in all actually one of the all time great performances by England to push the match in every way possible. This was dodgy from the scheduling to the pitch. With sunsets an hour before every day's play was set to finish.
My Dad is still convinced Cronje was murdered.Also, there is a documentary on Netflix at the moment about controversies in sport called Bad Sport, and one of the episodes is on Hansie Cronje - worth a watch.
Another win for "Bazzball"
Wonder what will happen from here. Either
1. Englands approach continues to get results, and test cricket strategy as we know it changes as teams adopt aggressive batting strategies.
2. It continues to work for a bit and then teams figure out how to bowl against the attacking style and they are forced to retreat back to traditional strategies.
