Overton for Anderson, Denly and Roy to swap but still no Pope in the squad.
Has the fourth Test of a five Test series ever started in September before?

Warner gone early again to Broad. rabbit in headlights :-)
Smith is going to bat us out of this match and, no doubt, the next one as well!!
Too good for us!!
This one’s gone, mac. We’ve had chances off him and flunked them.Quote:

I know the last Test was fantastic but let’s face it...we got lucky and generally we’ve been out batted and out bowled.
Can see England being three down by close tonight. Hope I’m wrong.
no, we've been out Smithed. Him aside there has been nothing between the teams
Our batters need to step up and hold out for a draw, then we can still hope to get the fecker out for a change at the Oval. Ill be there day 2 to see him home to another double hundred though
Rain saved the Aussies in the 2nd test, could do with it saving us now.
By that reckoning we should be about 286 all out. Tad optimistic perhaps. ;DQuote:

Weather seems OK later and over the weekend, Stark, Cummings and Hazlewood....... mmmmm!! Not looking good.
Illogical captain, he was probably worth over 300 if you factor in the runs others scored during his crease occupancy that they wouldn't have if he went for a duckQuote:
