Mark Wood MoM for sure. 

 

Will be woakes. Woakes took out the most key wickets in both innings. Also created several chances which were shelled. Also played part in the match winning partnership. Wood sure blew away the tail. But Woakes played a role in getting ENgland tot hat situation.

This is riveting stuff. Much better than WTC Final.

 

Clouderson should announce his retirement immediatly and do commentary in next 2 matches.

 

Was painful to watch 3 trundlers bowling between 76 to 80 mph. This was electric. Woakes is not express. But Nippy enough Wood next level. At 33 years bowling fast and furious.

Next Match, bring Tongue for that useless big Mouth Robinson, Than Poms will start as favorites I think, What a series, Hope Poms make it 2-2 and then we will have grand finale, If it happens it will be best Ashes since 2005, only difference is overall both teams are lesser in quality but equally flawed so it evens out. Aus should swap Boland with Hazelwood and Marcus Harris with Warner , at this stage anyone is upgrade over Warner, They can also rest Starc with Nesser. Long live test cricket. Paisa wasool series so far as neutral.

 

Curran for Moeen

Parkinson/Rehan Ahmed for Robinson

 

Hazelwood for Boland.

Green for Warner (open with Carey,maybe)

Wood blew them away in first innings and set it up. Also some important hits in both innings.

Reason i thought of him was because how well he bowled. He deserved a fifer in the first innings.

Woakes cannot be dropped in Eng. He bowls just the right length and pace. Wood is a lion hearted guy. Bowls and bats with fire. 

 

genuine quicks should always be playing as 4th bowler as they can be injury prone. Suddenly they can break down.

no. We already have Siraj. If Bumrah comes back. We need one only. Can be groomed. 

 

4th needs to bowling AR. 

 

Batting needs to be better too to give them breathing space. Bowlers have been doing everything so far.

Getting one is not going to be easy, we don't have Bumrah, he is out of the team more than he is playing.

 

I see couple of batting talent first time in a decade, hope they develop into international level.

Woakes and Wood added fire with bat and ball. What an idiotic selection of leaving both in the  previous 2 tests. Won them the match here along with that magical man Stokes. Anderson won't be playing again in this series. They should play Tongue and drop Moeen. He adds nothing. 

Moen literally removed Smith and kabu. 100% they would ha e koat without him getting those 2 wickets. And also no guarantee Woods and woakes will perform in every test. They are good but nothing special.

 

Aus also dropped many catches.

From the Aus perspective I do protest the use of Wood and Woakes in this match. What next? Replace Robinson with Tongue?

Go with an attack of Broad, Woakes, Wood, Tongue? Is that cricket?

 

England needs to go back to the formula of Anderson, Broad and Ollie Robinson or bowlers like them. Winning with Wood types is just not cricket and especially not appropriate vs Aus.
