Looks like The Aussies want Leach in the next test match good tactics.

On serous not I don’t rate Leach but if the England do he should be playing every game end of then he might improve a bit at the moment keep bringing him in now and again isn’t doing him any good.
 
Just put the highlights on and saw pope have a great catch as the wicket keeper didn’t ever know he can wicket keep! Will England consider him as an option now?
He kept a bit in South Africa a couple of years ago too if I remember rightly. They've brought Billings in from the Big Bash so I'd imagine he'll play?

I was driving back from Swindon last night so didn't see any of it - did Stokes, Buttler and Bairstow all not play yesterday?

No idea never watched it but pope was a super sub because buttler and Bairstow have a broken finger
 
not making 300 again and now its 7 innings and counting ?
97 overs tomorrow and england only need 358 around 4 runs a over. we are good at ODI cricket send them out in ODI mode what have we got to lose ??

Ten wickets…

Would be more realistic to see England play out the Test. Australia’s bowlers must be a little tired and the series is won, but one can’t help feel that if it stays dry, Lyon might have another ‘fifer’ in him.
 
yep enough of ODI wicket keepers and batsman get ben foakes in and leave him in. then get parkinson in as the spinner and leave him in. 2 easy choices to make in my book
Would like to see them both go to the Caribbean as the rebuild begins. Could make a case for Livingstone as well. The timing of the IPL (overlapping both of England’s next series) will likely influence who tours.

i would go with a strong hand from the ECB board and say to the players. if you turn down the tour to the west indies over the IPL then you banned for 2 years from test cricket simple. you then see who is in test cricket for the right reasons.

the ECB have to build again for that series and take a fresh and young squad with a new captain.
so what if we lose ? it could not get any worse than what is happening in austraila ? i think the english fans would take losing with a new young team than seeing the old farts scared of bounce and beaten before they walk out
