That would just about lock Smith in at 6

Gearing up to show Jnr is first Ashes series in the ol' Blighty. I'm excited. But not as much as years gone by.

It's a special moment.

I remember back in my younger days lying in bed with the radio when Alderman had them on toast with his straight one and staying up all night glued to TV watching S Waugh put on a clinic in the blackfoot square drive.

Hope they provide Jnr with some lasting memories.

They'd know that, they also would have seen our disgustingly bad effort against the Indians and their spin.

If anything, a flatter pitch bluntens our best chance of winning, and that is our quicks.

True enough but our batting revolves around Clarke and his only weakness is against swinging ball moving away from him. If he can get 200 per test match we are in with a real chance :p

Special K very stiff not to be batting at 3 imo

I am disappointed he isn't in the side. Surely Cowan doesn't have too many more tests if he fails
 
Ashton who?
 
Wow! I assume no Lyon then?

They've obviously seen something in the kid given he's not officially been in the squad but has been iIncluded in the lead up campaign. Can't wait to see how he performs.

Likewise.

Hey, I cast a close eye over the England team today - they're very strong with some fine players. But, I kinda think we potentially have some very good players too. Looking for a 'coming of age series' for many of these players, bit like that series when Steve Waugh found his mojo. Dunno, think if our two bowlers in Patto and Starc go up a notch, and we find something int he batting, with Rogers to do what he does, we could put up a good fight. Not underestimating the quality we're facing. Lots of batsmen with 50+ tests and similar averages, not to mention the bowling. really looking forward to it.
 
I reckon the key is our batting. Just have to give the bowlers something to bowl to. Agree that it could be a coming of age series... Blind optimism maybe?.... Could easily have a different perspective in a couple of days.

It is a big of a sink or swim series for a few if our players- if we get enough of a contribution from smith Hughes agar patto and starc we are a chance. Our batsmen are the key
 
Oh, gee... the extreme slo-mo promos set to music is going to drive me nuts.

We must field well. Can't afford to grass many chances if any
 
Nice swing. Just need to settle on a line and length
