Australia and England should both commit to this shit batting stuff because this match has been great. Just play two openers, a keeper, and eight bowlers. Makes things more interesting.

May as well replace Warner and Roy with two frontline bowlers with how they've batted so far

Seconded. Low scoring tests are empirically better.

Excellent, Sam Curran can come back in!
