Official Thread for the 4th Ashes Test - ENGLAND v Australia, Trent Bridge
|
|
England (probable) 1 Alastair Cook (capt), 2 Adam Lyth, 3 Ian Bell, 4 Joe Root, 5 Jonny Bairstow, 6 Ben Stokes, 7 Jos Buttler (wk), 8 Moeen Ali, 9 Stuart Broad, 10 Mark Wood, 11 Steven Finn
Such has been the weakness of Australia's middle order that a switch to six specialist batsmen, with Shaun Marsh replacing his brother Mitchell, is one option that could be considered. Alternatively, he could replace Adam Voges, enabling Western Australia's brothers to team up in Tests for only the second time.
Australia (probable) 1 David Warner, 2 Chris Rogers, 3 Steven Smith, 4 Michael Clarke (capt), 5 Shaun Marsh, 6 Mitchell Marsh, 7 Peter Nevill (wk), 8 Mitchell Johnson, 9 Mitchell Starc, 10 Josh Hazlewood, 11 Nathan Lyon
Pitch and conditions
Alastair Cook has predicted "another Edgbaston" and if so it will continue the transformation from the attritional pitches of recent vintage. Trent Bridge dare not risk a boring surface, having been marked "poor" a year ago by the ICC for a slow, low surface for a Test against India in which only 29 wickets fell. The weather is also unsettled enough to fill both bowling attacks with optimism.

So much better than your last abortion of an attempt.

Joking aside - this is the perfect match thread. As much as your previous opening post was read with interest by myself, it was a pain in the arse the scroll past when reading on my phone.

makes you crave a jabs thread this.
Sure his results of late had been mixed and he'd got a bit arrogant, but fuck me the boy knows how to start an ashes test thread.

Going to be a tough ask without Jimmy, but coming from one behind with 2 to play is a whole lot more pressure than 1 behind with 4 to play.
Hopefully we can seal the series.

England were 7/2 for the last Test.
They haven't got a clue.
