Was interesting to see the wicket was prepared for Ali to take advantage of, which he was unable to do, and now looks like it will bite them on the ass with England batting last and Lyon already taking advantage of it in the 7 overs before stumps. 397 is a big ask on that wicket!

Moeen v. Lyon is/was no contest. Moeen seems to have lost all confidence and needs to be dropped for the next Test.

Should give Rashid a go. Although he does have the habit of getting carted. Doesn't seem that keen on Test cricket, but that may be more to do with the selectors.

This Australian batting lineup is performing horrendously. Other than Smith of course. Time for some changes. IMHO


The two useless cheating cunts at the top of the order? GONE

Wade has failed 3 out of 4 innings. He ain't a Test batsman GONE

Time to move the Paki up to open with the reinstated Harris and bring in the South African whose name I can't spell or even pronounce. Bring in Carey as a batsman from county cricket. Rest Siddle, get rid of Hazlewood. Starc and Pattinson would add potency to the attack to match Archer


Assuming Smith is fit, this is the eleven for Headingley


Harris
Khawaja
Smith
Head
Labuschagne
Carey
Paine
Starc
Cummins
Pattinson
Lyon


Of course, it won't happen but it should
