    ***Official*** 1st Test at Brisbane

    Todays scores: Malan: 28 Ali: 25 Bairstow: 9 Woakes: 0 Broad: 20 Ball: 14 Anderson: 5* Bancroft: 5 Warner: 26 Khawaja: 11 Handscomb: 14 Smith: 64* Marsh: 44* So, plenty of decent starts, but until late in the day, nobody kicked on. With Smith, it's class. Not so sure on Marsh. Did batting get...

    ***Official*** 1st Test at Brisbane

    Good point. Peter Siddle comes to mind. The more I think about, the more I get convinced Aus are a bowler short. I guess they got lucky today in 3 ways: -10 overs lost -long break -Lyon bowling very very tight. The last thing is not really luck. I rate Lyon! But it was better than expected on...

    James Vince: Why are the selectors right? Or not?

    James Vince was tried throughout the 2016 Test summer. And it is fair to say he had a decent opportunity, but proved to be no test standard at that moment in time. Going by his 2017 FC-season statistics, I can't see why he was recalled. Yet he was! So there mus be other reasons. Assuming...

    2017-18 Ashes Last Man Standing

    I guess it is a good thing, things didn't turn out as 24 out of 28 of us thought. I just dislike being out of this LMS competition. Confident though that another one will start this Test :) .

    ***Official*** 1st Test at Brisbane

    I wouldn't be surprised if Anderson & Broad will find some proper swing tomorrow. And even if not, I can't see the Aussies score 500+, regardless of howmany England will get.

    Yeah, this won't last too long! Would have been more fun if elimination was triggered by having both questions wrongly answered.

    ***Official*** 1st Test at Brisbane

    I didn't watch it. And cricinfo's commentary has nothing on it. Was there any reason to not raise the finger? Perhaps a noise that suggested an inside edge? In general, I think it is too easily said a wrong decision is a shocker. Especially considering inside edges with LBW-decisions (no idea...

    ***Official*** 1st Test at Brisbane

    It indeed is. Not what anyone expected. Cook & Root, the only 2 properly proven specialist batsmen England have, scored 20 runs, yet England are 190/4.

    Ashes predictions

    England to win 5-0. Vince & Ballance to do the business.

    What should be changed in Cricket?

    I always thought this was bloody obvious! Like OS, I am a tad bit surprised........

    Who do you neutrals want to win?

    If you're actually going...... It's quite easy to soak up the atmosphere and root along.

    Who do you neutrals want to win?

    Through the years, I have learned that I find it hard to support Australia or Pakistan. I watch all my test cricket as a neutral. I pick favourite players, rather than favourite teams. Which is as odd as it sounds, I guess.

    It must be somewhere in this thread, but..... Who is most likely for England to bat at 3? Ballance?
