Looks like that was the last test for Moeen Ali as well

I dont see Moeen, Anderson make it. Broad is gone. Root will be like 36. Stokes dodgy knees. Doubt Wood will remain injury free and Woakes may not be effective in Oz. Down under is going to be really tough. On the Oz side, Warner and Uzzie will likely be out. Smith too. I dont see Carey lasting long. Will be a very different line up.

Both teams will get whacked in India for sure. (Hopefully). If they don't replace these oldies Kunemanns, Dom besses,  Roots will own us.

Pat cummins is such a likable bloke even though not a great creative aggressive captain.

Murphy isn't on the same level. 

Obviously hard to fill GOAT's shoes, but Murphy is a terrific #10 and with time could be a decent bowler.

[vvvslaxman]

Compared to the disasterous performance of England under Root this is way better. Yet to lose a series

England Player of Series Root. Really? Wood or Woakes is more appropraite.

[Austin 3:!6]

Moeen Ali just mentioned in SKY SPORTS that he is done in red ball cricket and won't return for India tour even if Stokes ask him.

[Lord]

don't understand all the emotions wrt Broad. He can easily do a Moeen

Unfair to bring him out of wilderness. Missed very criticial moments of the series. Luckily for England he was available today.

not unfair. He could have refused. Would have been better for Eng. Root fills up for him nicely.

He is one of the very few affable characters on the Poms' side.
