It is taking a big individual effort, instead of good, team stuff, since the end of test #1. Not sustainable. The guys need to look at how they're getting out and what to do about it.Seems to me only rain will save the Urn now. If there is no rain, what are the chances of Marsh and Green digging in and batting out the innings forcing the draw? Buckleys and none.
Selection - I could wax lyrical about that, but I don't really want to. Suffice to say that some of the decisions have been mystifying. But there have to be changes for the last test, no matter what the result. Reputations mean nothing at the pointy end; it is how you perform when the chips are down.
It may have been posted here but I read Cummins is standing down as Captain after the ashes. Who replaces him? Smith?
