England might whitewash this Australian team

Australia will reinforce & win a couple of games surely.

 

I doubt Aussie selectors will be lenient post a shellacking.

 

Reckon Inglis, Marsh or Renshaw (might open or play over Khawaja) will come at some point in the series to match English firepower 

 

This current XI will be eaten alive by Poms otherwise as the tour goes on.

Clutch runs from Carey... Fast scoring helps always 

 

England should watch out.. bring back Archer ffs

Eng will hope this will go the same way as India at Perth 

[Vickydev]

Stokes with five. Amazing bowler to have after the front pacers

[Lone Wolf]

Stokes failed with the bat but putting a MoTM performance already

Australian batting can't chase anything over 250 against this attack even in their wildest dreams.

 

Eng needs to be wary of Starc and don't over attack him.

They can pile on 300 easy here.

Aus have lasted a fair bit longer but still 50 behind - Bazball 1 Aus 0

[nitinbwj]

19 wickets in the day

[Manucrick]

Stokes the bowler is the dangerous one against us too he always breaks important partnership

England batting is the weak link if they bat sensibly they can win one or two matches or even the series
