The weather forecast looks shit. Interestingly its not getting a great deal of interest in the local media, maybe that's because its getting towards the end of the Aerial Ping Pong season.

I’ve a sinking feeling that the heroics of Headingley could be the last big moment of this series. I can see the last two games ending in dull draws due to rubbish weather. Which, surprise surprise, you tend to get this time of year...

I can't see what Woakes did wrong, tidy bowler IMO.
Wrong end of the summer for this really, squashed in around the WC.

Lump on the draw and it all goes down to the final test , which i suppose is much better than England could of hoped for after losing Anderson on the first day , Archer has proven to be a handy replacement but our batting is so fragile and once this summer is out the way a bit of housekeeping is on the cards for the selectors .

Bloody Worthing!
He looks burnt out. Has been bowling fewer and fewer overs as the series progressed.

Agree with this. Great bloke, genuinely a Test class and ODI bowler and almost an all-rounder. But just worn out. Overton they say has height for this wicket. This explains the lack of Curran, who must count himself as unlucky not to get a game.

Need to get this cocky Labuschagne out early, something about his facial expressions and just general demeanour pisses me off, must be something the Australians have in their blood as it seems a theme with them.
