2019 Ashes discussion

When should Australia declare? Maybe it's time to pick up the pace a bit, get another quick 50 (so the lead is 300+) and risk it?.

Assuming Wade gets his ton, they’ll go for it for about 10 overs after that, then send the Poms in chasing 330ish I reckon
 
Hell yeah Wadey. I take back what I said, good selection, great bounce back after the first innings failure.

Bancroft & Khawaja really the only 2 question marks now, hopefully they score some runs in game 2.
 
Wade has justified his position but I reckon the bowling of Marnus would be handy on this deck tomorrow

That’s why, given Burns isn’t there, I’d have gone Khawaja to open and Labowlingshayne at 3.
 
Bowling garrrry
That was a dumb shot from Roy though
 
Laboingshayne shouldn’t bat anywhere near the top 4

It seems you pay no attention to county cricket or my previous posts where I bagged the guy out as much as anyone else.

Has Paine's keeping started to fall away?
 
What a stupid review!! He basically middled it into his pads and reviews the catch. What an idiot.

Wow this team is not what I expected, no spinner and just the three quicks

Even if Hazlewood and Starc clean up I don’t think I’d change the attack. The only reason would be if the data was showing Pattinson or Cummins in the “red zone” with their workload, and given their injury history i’d get it.

But otherwise, I can’t see either of Starc/Hazlewood being more effective than the two that played the 1st test and I think Siddle is a lock given how tight he keeps things. Outside of Root and Stokes I can’t see any Eng batsmen batting for long periods of time regularly (Burns won’t have that sort of luck again). Just keep it tight and they’ll get out sooner than later, no need to try blast them out with Starc.
