My point is it's six of one, half a dozen of the other - i.e. the Poms might have been chasing less.

Yep, all hypothetical's, he got two key wickets but we did have them firmly pressed against the ropes in excellent bowling conditions, Hazlewood and Cummins got us off to a ripper start when Pattinson took over for Cummins.

We picked craig frickin overton over sam curran, thats bloody lunacy. I get woakes looks exhausted and needed a spell but overton my god we are playing with 10. At least curran will swing it and has shown he can bat. I could forgive the roy to 4 move as at least there batting him where he actually bats but overton is infuriating. Ed smith has lost it.

Aussies are a much better team and should win this as long as they recover from the heart break of the previous test.

Was just about to post about Overton replacing Woakes, should of been Curran, he seems like a great young prospect for England, can play. I think Woakes has been under bowled in the last 2 tests since Archer has come into side.

Just utter madness, curran is a terrific young prospect that loves a contest. Basically won us a series verse india last year. I think Woakes might be injured or just cooked, he had the best conditions imaginable for him on day 1 of the 3rd test and he was awful. World cup appears to have taken it out of him

Would be unlucky for Usman If Aussie openers last longer then 3 overs.
