Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.

At the level these guys are playing at they have access to specialists to help with specifics and a wide range of retired pros who are only too happy to put some time in. Boof's job should only be to make sure everyone is in the right mindset to go out confident with a good gameplan ready.

Then dump the "coach" title and call him a "manager". Works for the Premier League where they have specialist coaches and then the manager over them. Regardless he should still be telling them to pull their heads in and bat to the conditions.

The Marsh's should just both play and be worth half a wicket each, they might make it to double figures then

I get the logic I guess but it seems silly to bowl Ali to Smith when he's on 99. He is remarkable good at placing the ball through the onside off spin bowling.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

He's a better keeper than Wade but a worse batsmen. It's either him, wade or chucking Handscomb in the deep end.

They posed the question on TMS when he was out, I wasn't really listening though.

Many, many times?!

[edit] It might be 50% of his dismissals so far.

He gloved a catch down the leg side at least 3 times at edgbaston.

Smith is ~5 runs from leading the series runs. Obviously Root is yet to bat in this test. He's about 20 runs from 500 for the series which would be considered a really good series over 5 tests.

An Australian hasn't scored 500 in an away ashes series since 97 (that was a 6 test series)
