They would be mad not to as our fast bowlers are dropping like flies and our batsmen can’t even vaguely deal with it.

Edged wide of the slips, lucky boundary
Mad to think that we’ve got Australia out for 152 in the first innings, have them 98-6 in the second innings and yet still fully expecting to lose the test.

I'd have Stokes opening, Root at 3, Duckett at 4, and Bethel at 6. Shake it up because nothing has worked so far, and it will suprise the Aussies.

The wofters are 99% guaranteed to pish it up the wall like a bad round of crap beers.
Rarely have such a hateful bunch, told such lies, and presented such fake confidence only to be so thoroughly found out.
Liars to a man. The lot.

Well, that's going to happen anyway.
But in a new fun way the Aussies weren’t expecting! We’re done anyway, might be quite fun to just completely reverse the order. Really mess with them. Carse and Tongue opening. If we get there bring in Brook as a nightwatchman.Well, that's going to happen anyway.
