Third Ashes Test (WACA) - The Decider ??

Quote
THE full gravity of England's Ashes implosion is unfolding with former England skipper Michael Vaughan predicting a 5-0 walkover by Michael Clarke's resurgent Australians. 
 
Sir Ian Botham predicted England would crush Australia 10-0 in home and away Ashes series. However it is Australia leading 2-0 and on course to repeat the 5-0 drubbing Ricky Ponting's side meted out to Andrew Flintoff's shambolic England outfit in 2006-07.

This is the Test we need to win to secure The Ashes, if we can do that then the other two Tests can be used to blood some new up & coming players.

On a quick Perth deck, Lyon should be rested and another speedster bought in to replace him.

Watson surely needs to be dropped also, he is the weak link in the line-up at present too.

Lyon is not being used as a wicket taker.

He's also more effective on a bouncy deck (much better at the Gabba), plus he's bowling better than Swann.

I doubt they'll drop him.

Poms won't last 3 days. Lyon might not even get a bowl.

I'd like to see Faulkner in, maybe Smith out.

Both he and Watson are on thin ice IMO. No one knocking down the door and the reluctance to change a winning side may not be enough to save Smith, would love to see Watson out as he raps me off no end.
The Ox is slow but I'm running out of patience.

He appears another golden child.

They won't make a change while the keep winning, unless someone is not contributing anything or there is somebody screaming for selection, nothing will change.

Not much difference to a footy side. If the unity of the club is helping get them over the line, change will not take place unless extreme circumstances.
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

And that's not necessarily a bad thing. Both Smith and Watson could yet run themselves into form during this current season and all will be forgotten. Just thinking...Smith and Watson..357 Magnum!!  Good copy right there. ;)

Just hope Hughes keeps scoring runs as he is surely next back in when Smith or Watto or Rogers slips up.

(SA going nicely too for once! yay!)

Mind you if we keep winning they wont change the top 6.

Has ammassed a number of centuries at first class level at a tender age, he will play plenty of test cricket in the years to come me thinks.
