chicken n chips wrote: Australia have to at least avoid defeat in the 2nd test. If Johnson turns up then they will win. Lords will give him more bounce. Cant see Clarke, Warner and Smith not getting runs again. They must drop Watson as he has now become a passenger in the team (just like those Du Plessis brothers who both somehow have managed to play for the Boks for such a long time)

nice to see you back chicken n chips :)

As the expert on cricket, I did suggest that Watson should be dropped. The Aussie selectors thought the same :)

oh dear that what happens when you are arrogant enough to leave your best players at home in the belief that they would beat Bangladesh with ease. Well it has not worked out and whoever decided on that call should be sacked.

Australia to bat first, its going to be a very interesting first hours play. If Warner goes after them it could be 80/0 or 40/3. Lets see.

Aussies going well at 204/1. Need to push on a score at least 480-550 then put England under pressure.

flat pitches are going to spoil the Ashes. Why are England so scared of Johnson? They have some good quicks themselves. Hanave they not heard of fighting fire with fire. England cant win this match so the best that they can hope for is a draw. The Aussies can win but only if the foot marks come into play then Lyon can bowl England out on the last day. Otherwise it will remain 1-0 with 3 to play.

Must have been watching tapes of the English side in the build-up. They've collapsed.

Quinton de Kock is having a seriously poor run of form of late. Maybe time to play more franchise cricket to get the confidence back?
