Wonder if I can get my three year old to put forward a team. Best I can imagine is to show him a picture of both sides and he points to the ones he likes. He knows that daddy likes to watch cricket and can recognise it when it is on, but hasn't learned the names of any players yet...

I can see this being 5-0

Our brittle batting line up is even more brittle without stokes and our bowlers are notoriously ineffective when sideways movement isn't available

Can see us being blown away unless the injury prone Aussie bowlers all go down

I think maybe 3-1 to Australia. Australia will atleast have 2 batting collapses. Hopefully not in Brisbane.

England just need to keep Australia into the field for as long as possible. 4 bowlers, and no back up options. Could be tough on flat wickets.

Very much key to the series , I think. One of the problems England had last time was that even when their bowlers did a good first innings job they found themselves back in the field again all too quickly and just weren't able to perform at the same level second time around.

Over five matches , wear and tear on the pace men on both sides ought to be a significant factor.

There is talk about Ali batting ahead of Bairstow which would just be wrong.

Not surprised Warner has a stiff neck after the amount of time he's had it wound out in recent weeks.
