I agree, I would drop Crawley and put Johnny Bairstow to open and bring in Foakes as wicket keeper

Foakes yes but not sure YJB is an Ashes Opener. Having said that not sure who is good enough in England atm.

Possibly. Still maintain to this day that it flicked his front pad first therefore not out. Whether that would have been picked up during the review process we will never know.

Blimey. Great spot. Not sure our hearts would have survived a reviewed if they had had one.

England win the toss and will bat.

Hazelwood in for Starc.

England win toss and bat first - here we go.

Good start we won the toss and batting let’s hope the openers put on a good score now!

Nah not taking credit for that!

There was a bit of debate about it in the aftermath. That picture iirc came from Jim Maxwells Twitter feed when he was arguing the point with felliow Aussies.

If he was given out on review I'm certain a lot more would have been made of it.

Anyway here we go again ....

Batting first is a gamble for me. lose early wickets and the pressure starts almost straight away.
Also, it could be that we are giving Anderson and Robinson more time to get fitter, I would have bowled first with the swing attack we have

Root in before 12?

Pitch looks good to bat on.
