Is England's pace attack suited to Australian conditions? Probably more suited than bringing a bunch of seamers...
I dunno, are geriatrics like Anderson and Broad more or less likely to break down in Aussie conditions ?
Well, they’re attempting to manage Anderson’s workload, so I’d guess it is a concern for the selectors.
I’m resigned to this particular England team not doing very well. 😟

Good call, aside from Root they’re shit and they’ll get pumped 5-0 if the weather holds up.

Some reports that England are not selecting Broad
He must be stinking it out on the training pitch, then?
I expected them to play either Broad or Anderson during the series to manage their workloads. But to not select Broad when Anderson already ruled out is surprising to me.
Or some sort of 4D chess move with a day/night test up next and perhaps they are not expecting Anderson to be right for that one either?

Confirmed. He’s not in

huge question marks over Harris, Head, Green, and Carey
Warner always comes good in Aus
But that England attack is a list of "who the fuck is that?" while the Aussie attack is awesome
At least England made the right call by batting.

The best part of this tour so far is that Perth doesn't get a test.

Have they confirmed where that Test will be played? Tassie were screaming for one

it's so good. And the arrogance of the WA Government just getting shoved back in their faces.

A bit of bidding war going on. Some say Melbourne because they “missed out” on so much and they have the best stadium. Some say Tassie because they haven’t got one. Some (and I reckon Cricket Oz back it) say Adelaide because they want a second day night test and Adelaide have done it well.

I'll just leave the first few deliveries and see what the pitch is doing.

A number 3 comes in with a batting average of 28.
Yikes.
England are so “Black Caps circa late 2000s”
