Khwaja and Warner are both brilliant in tests and I am hoping that they could be a backbone for Aussies in 3rd test for a change.

It is time for Warner and Usman to perform in this series and pose a challenging total for England and for England it is the best opportunity to win the test match and level the series and if they are not able to do that then Australia will walk away with the Ashes with ease. Both teams have quality bowlers but Australia will have the upper hand if the pitch starts turning as they have Lyon who is a legit spinner .

I agree Warner needs to perform in this test match because he's spot in the team is on the line. Khwaja in the past has shown that he can make a lot of runs after having a dry spell so this is the test match for him to bounce back and make the runs that Australia will need. Australia will be depending a lot on their bowlers if the batsman can't score big totals for England to chase.

I only heard about Smith that he is not playing in the third match.

Now that's a major blow to Australian side. It's a safe decision to rest out Smith for the time being after that incident. Now with Smith gone, it's hard to see a big score especially when most of Aussies batsman are out of form.

Hope that starting order come to their senses and atleast try to stick against the England bowling attack. Khwaja and Warner are both brilliant in tests and I am hoping that they could be a backbone for Aussies in 3rd test for a change.

I am also placing this 3fold because like this.

Seriously, I am not a professional tipster. In fact I have not place a bet yet in this selection. Not sure if I will be. I am just taking a break from gambling. But if I were to bet then I would go for it.

And I feel Warner could be back in his form

I really hope he comes back if he was chosen for the first eleven for the 3rd test. Warner is the most experienced batsman after Smith and he needs to take responsibilities. It's gonna be hard for him but he needs to show his personality in this match.

However, I still back my selection.

3 fold odd @3.26

Without Smith Australia is not good enough to win match but still they have some good players which can handle pressure now this third test is going to be very interesting I am also going with England as they also can bounce back at home now we have less then 24 hours lets see what happen I am also placing this 3fold because like this.

Steve Smith being ruled out of the third test match is a huge blow for the Australian team but I think it is the right decision as he needs to rest and hopefully be right for the fourth test. Labuschagne will come into the team which is a good replacement for Smith but I think England will win the match and square up the series.

Although smith is a main player for the Aussies but there is no benefit if they opt to play him when he is not completely fit. Aussie has no option but to drop him for this test.
We all are hoping England to win the test but every time England fails to do so or the weather conditions help the Aussie to save the test.

But when someone take long break then it is very hard and almost impossible to get into the playing squad again in the team like Australia that is why he want to continue his good career but we need to consider our life more than our career.

LOL... That is definitely not the case. He was out of the squad for well over an year for that ban from ball tampering and once the ban was over, he was automatically picked for the playing XI. What you said may be true for some of the other players, but definitely not for Steve Smith.

Well this will not work every time for even the most best batsmen on the squad because form is very important like skills so when someone lacking good form in the long run due to the body fitness they will slowly fade away from the team that is why he would like to avoid but he was ruled out on the third match.

Without him the Australian team is looking very poor. England now has the best chance to come back to the series and equalize the result. I really hope that Smith recovers soon. This injury is not looking good at all.

Without him Australia was poor even in last year, after his ban, in 2018, Australia won only one test in 2018, it was against India.
In addition, 2018 was the worst year for Australia in test format in the last decade, probably in the last 2/3 decades.
It's pretty clear how poor Australia team is without him.

In the last two match, if you take off Smith from Australian team then you will see there were no significant performance from the team. It was Smith who single handily fought against the English bowlers.

Without Smith in the team Australia will find it hard to put a good total on the board as Wade and Tim Head is the next best player in the Ashes in this series for Australia and it is a worrying scene, England played better in the second test and i am sure they will level the series in this test, Warner and Khawaja has to step up their game if they expect to post any challenging score on the board, Toss is another factor as i expect the pitch to turn on the final day and then i will make my mind about placing a bet Wink

I think they both have a fair chances. At this point I am kinda inclined to Australia winning the series but so far England has shown the signs where they have put Australia in backfoot couple of times in this series. We still have 3 more matches to see and I don't think it will be long enough for England to bounce back into game if Australia opening batsman continuously fails to provide a good starting score in the next matches.

I only heard about Smith that he is not playing in the third match. This is already a very bad news for Australian team. I have no idea about the openers but if they perform (especially Warner) like they did in the first two Test then it will be very difficult for Australian team even to give a fight against English team.

Compared with Australian batting, England team is so strong in this test format and even it is a very tough job for Australia to win the test match. So England has higher chances for winning this complete test series.

Sad news, Smith is out from the third Test.
Concussed Steven Smith out of Headingley Test

Without him the Australian team is looking very poor. England now has the best chance to come back to the series and equalize the result. I really hope that Smith recovers soon. This injury is not looking good at all.

Anyway, tomorrow will be a busy day for Cricket lovers. three Test from 6 Test playing nations, quite exciting. I will be watching Australia vs England one as usual. I may watch bits and pieces of India vs WI too.

However Australia leads the tournament. This match has got increased winning probability for England, but we cannot expect the match to go single sided. Tomorrow we've got two matches were scheduled, one is between India vs West Indies and the other one is Australia vs England. From my view this time India will win against West Indies and the match between Australia vs England seems to end as a draw.

Weather in England is like women. You can not predict. In the Caribbean, I have no idea about their weather but we have seen rain in between India vs WI matches and finally the Sri Lanka vs NZ, we have seen rain there as well in Sri Lanka. So I did not want to take risk.

If I were to bet in single match then I would wait and place in play bet and then may be I would go for straight win for a team.

I find better value betting on teams outright and don't worry about the draw which usually gives be better odds overall. Use a betting system on top of this and you can make some serious money through test matches.

Exactly my thoughts. If Warner gets back in form, England could be in danger here since we all know how good a player a really is. I feel like he is the left handed equivalent of Steve Smith.

From tomorrow it would be an exciting day for test match because their are 3 matches starting on the same day - Ashesh , Nz -SL and third is India - West Indies. All three would be an exciting to watch out for and also as currently no ODI happening so this will keep people busy as well .

I can't imagine Australia ignoring their best batsman, who has almost played like a one man army during the recent matches. What I am saying is that he had the choice of not resuming the innings after he got hit, but he chose otherwise to help the team. And in the end it turned out to be a very crucial decision. England was just four wickets away from a win (technically just three wickets).
