Warner...continues his woeful record in England. 

Bancroft..... Langer loves his "mental strength".  I thought he  in was in the side to make runs?  Needs to show something very fast.

Khawaja.... Most over rated Oz bat I can think of since..... Graham Woood.  One innings of substance in the last two years.  Why do we keep rushing this bloke back from injury?  Why?  I just don't get it.  Is it because he bats in a pretty manner? 
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

Bancroft had done nothing to be in the team IMO....apart from be another Langar pet from WA.
I guess Cummins will have to save the day again.

Yep. Token Western Australian representative.  Inexcusable dismissal from a so called opener. 

Absolutely staggered why we keep going back to Khawaja.
Has under delivered for ten years.  He just gets out in such soft ways.  It's test cricket:  make them get you out not throwing it away nicking off to crap.

Stokes and Ali took the foot off our throat late in that session.  Dunno how much fuel Broad and Jimmy have in the tank.

I think Woakes will do a lot of the hack work, Stokes is a good cricketer but rates himself a bit too much and can bowl a bit of carp when he gets carried away.
Reckon Anderson will be 4 overs at a time only. Broad has surprised me, thought he was retirement material after seeing him out in Aus last time.
Ali is just rubbish IMO, dont know how he gets wickets or remains the teams No 1 spinner(roller), maybe I am a biased Aussie but getting out to him is a crime IMO, hope they bowl him
for a long spell after lunch.

Seriously EB!

Stokes' head is so far up his own butt it's laughable....he'll never be any good at test level.

Ali - yep, joke.

Jimmy and Broad - last hurrah? They'll make the pitches to suit these two...

Fly, I rate Stokes, as a kid stood up to Mitch Johnson bowling@150k and made good runs, is a great gully field and his bowling can be handy, he is smart Ar$e for sure
but he can play decent cricket and while he averages only around 34 at test level he seems to make runs when it matters and I'll be glad to see the back of him
when the Poms bat.
