    Bazball final verdict

    Win or lose, my final verdict is that bazball doesn't work in swinging or spinning conditions. It only works on flat decks. Roads of which not every test is a road. It won't work against guys like Ashwin and Jadeja on turning wickets in India. Especially as they are struggling against Lyon and...

    Glenn McGrath

    5-0. Worst prediction ever.

    Reserve days

    any reason why these arent used? Especially for rainy countries? What a huge result for aus.

    player of the series

    4th test - probably draw Series -draw I assume Obviously, more weight given to players that play all 5 tests.. It's going to be Stokes IMHO

    5th Test XI - AUS

    who do u think should play? Its a must win game for aus - they could win their first away series since forever. It is unlikely in my view though given the team's rapidly deteriorating form. I dont think Cummins will rest himself so probably the only changes will be Murphy for Marsh and Neser...

    Pat Cummins

    Had a shocker test. I think it's time he took a break from captaincy and focus on bowling. His bowling generally has peaked in terms of form. He is 30 years old and not a very young man anymore in this game. He started very young. His pace has dropped, just medium pace this test, and he is over...

    Scott boland

    Cricket is indeed a great leveller of a game. Boland was hyped up, yet treated with disdain by eng bazball batters this series. IMHO he will be used on pitches back home, no more overseas tours for Boland.

    Aus test ranking in the future?

    Currently ranked #1 IT is possible, we wont even be in the top #4 in the future, fast forward 5 years time. Consider- Nathan lyon is 35. Smith is 34, and Khawaja is 36, Starc is 33 and old for an 'express' quick. A few wont be playing in 2028. The cupboard is bare in terms of batting prodigies...

    Labuschagne test average

    It's dropping a fair bit now. Still on 54, only 40 tests. Used to be 60s. It's quite possible it's going to drop to the 40s He looks like he could get out any ball now, it looks like the initial form was above his long term form, same goes to Brook and guys like Kohli

    Alex Carey

    Threw his wicket away again. Is it just me, or is he looking more like a tailender as more time goes by? Josh Inglis / others are waiting, guys who can actually compile an innings. Yes he makes the odd half century, but as more time progresses I'm not confident in him. In the India series...

    Mark Wood 150kph bowler

    5 wickets . He's world class. Would've been a great if not for injury. Aus have their hands full now as he will definitely play the 4th test Bowling action / run up is basically similar to Akhtar or Waqar on some angles. Express pace bowlers are rare due to injuries. Eg jasprit bumrah...

    Harry Brook

    The more time goes on, he's bang average aint he. Feasting on tracks like Rawalpindi. Can't believe he was beating Bradman stats initially..

    Johnny Bairstow

    I mean. Dude is a bit thick to go walkabout. Controversial stumping.

    Nathan Lyon

    Career looks nearly over, out of the ashes. Body is too old for wear and tear or cricket. Time for Murphy.
  16. H

    Ben Stokes

    He is no longer an all rounder. Used to be world class. But his knee injury has reduced him. His batting average isn't good enough to be used as a batter and he's the captain and undroppable

    James Anderson

    Seems like time is up for Jimmy. He's over 40 and playing like that. He looks done, just not penetrating and he's only bowling 130kph. Atleast he's not going for plenty but not taking any wickets. This ashes series is proving to be a graveyard for eng pace attack. Time to retire, and bring in...

    Josh Inglis

    Does he get a look in due to the poor form of Cam Green? He's our best middle order spare batter in the squad. Then we should play Neser as the all rounder.

    Olllie Robbo

    Hes 125kph village aint he? Keep playing him ENG 👍

    1st test - pitch rating

    How would u rate the pitch. Imho it was very ordinary, as it was too flat. It was a 5.5 day pitch. Probably give it 2 stars out of 5. Ideally you want a 4-4.5 day pitch., so there is just enough in it for the bowlers.
