Well that was a very obvious no that our selectors somehow could not see. Baffling.

Don’t keep us waiting; the other two?Warner has the 3rd worst ashes total for a batsman playing 5 tests. Saved by his lucky 61.
Shaun Marsh?Don’t keep us waiting; the other two?
Didn’t have much else to choose from, to be fair.Well that was a very obvious no that our selectors somehow could not see. Baffling.
Paul Collingwood with 83 runs and Tommy Andrews in 1926, he had 49. However Collingwood had 6 innings and so did Andrews.. so Warner is comfortably the worst. We all saw it coming yet they kept him in the team and dropped Bancroft. Interestingly he only faced 22 more balls in 6 more innings than Bancroft.Don’t keep us waiting; the other two?

Selectors lost the plot that last test. Paine’s captaincy is a real concern, admitting that he can’t read pitches then changing his mind to bowling first at the last minute on a hunch.JL says Broad got in Warner's head and that Davey will be glad to fly home. So why keep picking him???

All the leadership was really poor to finish the tour.
Clearly the entire squad was just so relieved to retain the Ashes after the debacle at Headingley that they celebrated bloody hard and had all checked out for the last one.
Doesn’t excuse easily avoidable stupid decisions though like persisting with Warner vs Broad.
Did Warner sledge Tim Paine into not trying to limit strike rotation?THANKS DAVY ,
everyone blamed young Tim Paine captancy
Ben Stokes tell us in his new book
England Ashes hero Ben Stokes has revealed relentless sledging from Australian opener David Warner propelled him to the historic innings at Headingley which carried his team to victory and prevented the visitors from securing the urn in Leeds.
Stokes played an innings that had to be seen to be believed, smashing 135 not out including an improbable 76-run stand final wicket stand with English number 11 Jack Leach to carry his team to victory.
In his new book, “On Fire” Stokes said it was Warner, who returned the lowest figures of any opener in a five-match Test series, who stirred his fire as he prepared to go in and save his team.
“I had extra personal motivation due to some things that were said to me out on the field on the evening of day three when I was trying to get through to stumps. A few of the Aussies were being quite chirpy, but in particular David Warner seemed to have his heart set on disrupting me,” Stokes revealed in an extract published in England’s Daily Mirror.
“He just wouldn’t shut up for most of my time out there. I could accept it from just about any other opponent. Truly. Not from him, though.
“The changed man he was adamant he’d become, the one that hardly said boo to a goose and even went as far as claiming he had been re-nicknamed ‘Humble’ by his Australia teammates, had disappeared. Maybe his lack of form in his new guise had persuaded him that he needed to get the bull back?
