I have a feeling that we will spank the Poms in this test.
We’ve retained the urn. The boys know they will be home soon after a long time spent away.
Apart from Head, the coach has shown faith in the rest of the players, and his mate Marsh!
The weather will be good and the scene is set for the boys to win and win easily.
Come on boys, fire up!

It certainly won't be Warner... or Marsh for that matter.
MMarsh back lol, Langer the Nepotism Gnome strikes again. We have won besides the fact the selectors are clueless and our coach is a spaced out potato.
Well, if you are to play an all-rounder, MM is all we've got really. He did score 74 in the warm up vs Derbyshire.
I don't really have a prob with either Head being dropped or MM brought in but Langer's persistance with Warner who's a walking wicket.
I'll say this is a weak Aussie team overall. Weaker than the one that lost 3-2 last time in England. We've just been lucky we have Smith and England are worse than us overall.
Agree.
We really just don't have many top order, very good batsmen to choose from. I blame that on the shorter form of the game.
We haven't had THAT all rounder for years. Watson was a long time ago and M Marsh is shite compared to what we should have in that position.
I love my test cricket more than any other form of the game, the tactics, the weather, the declarations etc. The short forms of the game are definitley affecting the game and the skills of the players.
The last true allrounder we had was Keith Miller 80 years ago.
Stackpole was a good all rounder.
15 wickets @ 66 I don't think so.
I really don't get why Starc was dropped for Siddle. Starc 4 wickets and a 50 in 1 test, Siddle 5 wickets in 2 tests. Siddle being smashed all over the ground so far leaking 6 an over.
Yes, stupid decison.
I would have blooded a different all rounder too.
