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

[Bovidae]

On Anderson, Buttler said that he is fit and seemed to suggest that he will play both pink ball tests, with the second the replacement for Perth. An article today showed that Anderson's record in Brisbane and Perth is much worse than the other venues.

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

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.

Might be good to lose this toss, or am I being sucked in?

Wooooooooooah! Starc leg stump first ball

David with a W.

[antipodean]

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

[KiwiMurph]

A number 3 comes in with a batting average of 28.

Yikes.

England are so “Black Caps circa late 2000s”

Starc needs to give Hameed a bit of chin music
