The next Test should be a cracker, its gonna be On Like Donkey Kong. I think this type of aggressive Cricket suits this Aussie team to a T. We don't seem to have any shrinking violets, but at the same time, I think our blokes are incredibly classy. Having said that, the English will be reeling and I expect a fire contest. What would be best for the series would be for the Poms to win the next 2 and then we win the decider. Of course for us the best would be a 5-0 whitewash but I can't see that happening.

Pope out for the series...English are going with 5 bowlers ,Woakes, Wood and Ali in, Pope ,Tongue and Anderson out.
Wood bowled this crap 6 bouncers per over rubbish in Pakistan on dead wickets and was effective but they were able to rotate and rest him but if he bowls like that this test he won't last the series as he has had no preparation.Bit surprised Tongue was dropped and Robinson retained...
They are propping up the batting with Woakes and Ali as bowling allrounders.
I'm just presuming Stokes wants to employ 4 quicks for a bouncer war, be interesting to see how green the wicket is for this test.

Wood bowling express, glad he didn't play the earlier tests. If they ever get Archer fit they might be scary..

Head and Marsh should see Wood off then attack the others imo..
