I'd have gone Overton at Brisbane for pace and bounce & Ball Adelaide for pitch up swing and seam under the lights if Overton didn't have a blinder at Brisbane!

As soon as stokes arrives it will all become irrelevant

True that!

Broad is the one I worry about, pace & nip down over the summer, hope he finds his bite back!

Have a feeling that Bairstow might bat at 5 with Malan at 6 in the 1st test,

Not my favourite player and I think he has been lucky to last this long he isn't consistent as he takes most of his wickets in bursts and then goes ages without another

BBC Sport are reporting that Moeen is "thought to be in line to move above wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow to number six"

I'd take that.

Hint from those out there is that'll be Ali 6, Bairstow 7 which makes no sense to me, especially with the tail starting at 9 with Broad. You want Bairstow in earlier and Ali to counter.

Post above beat me to it.

I got the Ashes Cricket game on the xbox last week. Here's how our starting line up is rated out of 100, see what you think

I've seen no mention of Stokes joining the team. Where did that rumour come from?

Just seen this thread. Was planning on watching the first hour or so tonight until I realised that Sky no longer have the rights. Wankers!

Does anyone know where you can stream for free online? Apologies if someone else has already asked.

The Australian stream (Channel 9) is free but you'll need a VPN as its geo-locked.

Good luck finding it somewhere, weeman. Competition is usually healthy, but with this sort of thing it is really annoying. Luckily for me I have Virgin, so get BT too, but then I lose out on Sky Atlantic, which Virgin don't have and so I now have to have NowTV just to get Sky Atlantic in addition to Virgin.

I tend to use http://www.crichd.be/home6 for streaming cricket. There’s other variations like ‘cricfree’ and ‘crictv’ too.

I got lucky this time by being on EE and opting in for the 3-months free streaming of BT Sport

Didn't realise Wisden monthly had relaunched this week. Will have to pick up a copy.

Although I have a vpn (Cisco Connect), it’s still locating me outside of Aus so I think I’m going to have to give it a miss and watch highlights in the morning.

Good luck England. Time to shut the Aussies up.

Can’t see Malan batting that low surely?

Joe Root quoted as saying "We just want to get out there".
An unfortunate turn of phrase if you ask me.

Why do all those photos look like criminal mug shots? Cook and Anderson look like serial killers.
Woakes looks like he hasn't slept in a week. The only thing missing are the matchsticks holding his eyes open.

Hopefully these 2 can see it though to lunch and it wouldn't be a bad morning 1 down.

Decent recovery. Aussie bowlers aren’t going to be happy with the pitch that’s been prepared.

No play after lunch, rain.

Ticking along very, very nicely and now sit at 105-1.

What we need to make sure we do now is if we lose a wicket it is just the one immediate wicket and not a spate as has been England downfall on many an occasion.

Have to say the press ramping up and some of the Aussie player comments are quite ridiculous.

You've got to catch those ones Tim Paine......

Lyon looks the biggest threat! Plenty of turn already!

Ah breakthrough for Aus, cracking delivery! Dig in England dig in!

We'd have all taken 127-2 at midnight!

Yes decent stuff so far, Stoneman had a decent knock just a shame about cook. We needed a big innings from him just hope Root can do it instead.

Get the feeling that if we lose one we will lose a few here. A lot of close calls and near misses and Lyon looking very dangerous.

Root gone, I still think it should be Bairstow in now not Ali but hey ho, hopefully these 2 can see us through to the close.....
