Also wouldn't be surprised at Boland for Hazelwood.
And Murphy for Lyon
And Head has shaved off his moustache
Marsh will arguably strengthen the batting but weaken the fielding and bowling .. Murphy is no mug he had a 7fer against India in his first ever test .. England really need to get off to a good start after putting the Aussies in once more .. I always prefer batting first but bazball tactics insist on attack attack attack from first ball to last .. come on England !!!!!
Unless it's a real green-top or cloudy as f*ck, don't see why we'd choose to bowl first
Apparently 4th innings chases have been very successful recently at Headingley.
fair enough - in Bazball we trust!
Yes Broady
I was surpirsed too but, as Atherton said, the last 5 Test matches there have been won at Headingley by the team batting last. Having won the toss in all three Tests, we can have no complaints that the decisions as to what to do were taken away from us.
This is pretty much as good as test cricket gets. Absolute thunder bolts from Wood. Marnus doing a decent job up to now
I was just thinking the very same thing. Imagine if we lost this form of the game and didn't get to see the challenge of a batsman having to face someone bowling at 96mph to four slips

That's great, but what if he was bowling 6 bumpers an over with a spread field? Absolute pinnacle of spectator sport
Trouble is Khawaja and Labuschagne look like they have time to light a fag when facing anyone else at the other end to Wood and they know that Wood can only bowl a limited number of overs in any one stint

Always gives 100% and leaves it all out there.
Plus he has the best smile in cricket.
Been bowling brilliantly, and probably near the end of his spell too
