Cummings in, which bowler do we drop.

Any other changes? Harris out for Ussie?

Note: Aussies name unchanged squad for rest of Ashes

Neser goes out for Cummings
Richardson goes if Hazlewood is available

I think Harris should stay for the Melbourne test. Renshaw an outside chance to be considered for Sydney or Hobart.

England could have easily folded today but Woakes and Buttler have shown some grit so we have some work to do.

Surely Renshaw needs to open for Queensland before he can be considered for the national team?

Last chance for Harris regardless.

And please spell Pat's name correctly - he's the captain of the Australian Cricket Team!

Open with Carey and bring in another middle order bat.

Such disrespect to Steve Smoth.

Carey doesn't open for South Australia and I'm not sure he ever has in first class cricket?

Also it would be a massive ask for a wicket keeper to open in test cricket straight after a long time in the field keeping.

I don't see how you can progress with Harris, he just isn't cutting it and irrespective of age we have another option in Ussie who deserves a shot.

Harris is not a test opener. He is a 4,5 or 6 and those slots are taken. He cant cope with international level moving ball. I am though really happy for him to open at shield level. That said. He gets another chance on his home deck.

On a side matter, Joe Root's criticism of his bowlers I think shows just how out of touch he is in terms of being a Captain. Maybe his bowlers bowled the wrong lengths, but anytime you drop key Australian batsmen you are going to be punished. He should have a look at the teams he ispicking and the batting line up and re-asses.

Who is going to the G for the test? Are you worried about catching the virus?

My wife and I are going on day 3 - looking forward to it.

I'll be in Melbourne on Boxing Day, Sydney on Day 3 Jane McGrath Day, and Hobart Day 2. Hopefully.

Excellent - a bit of travelling.
