B Thomaz
S Clarke
U 2010
V Rustagi
R Traceur
S Parkinson+*
N Walker
T Edison
K Lee
C Richworth
J Anderson

Unfortunately the runs haven't come for Crouse recently so Rustagi comes into the team looking to make his mark as primarily a top/middle order batsman but also an added bowling option.

Thats the end of the match
Thats was a close one, but in the end the England tail batted quite responsibly

Sam Parkinson commended all his team, particularly Jimmy Anderson, who batted so courageously for four balls after the tea interval.
Nick Agger could barely speak after the pressure of the final ninety minutes, managing only to say "I really believed we would hang on."

Thats all the cricket for now, we'll see you at The Oval for the crucial fifth Test.

Good close match, but we lost... we are not up to the mark in 2nd innings... now it all depend on final Test...
 
Oh snap! What a win. Rustagi played really well and deserved a MotM. Come on guys, 1-1 has to be 2-1 after the 5th Test!
 
Well played England. Australia's top order batsmen were not upto the mark releasing immense pressure on the middle order however, I thought it 111 runs added by the last four wickets of England in the first innings that made the difference. They have a long long batting lineup with capable bowlers which is proving to the difference between Australia and England.
 
Yes, pulling it back a bit to set up a thrilling final test :D. We're going g to have to go into this one unchanged I think, not many other options around really that could improve on our team now and Rustagi scored some.
 
Aman Starc comes in for Parker. Tough move this but Parker got out on a duck on both the occasions alongside two average outings with the ball.

Code:
Series drawn:

Players of the series:

Crouse comes in and takes the gloves to start to show whether he can nail down a spot there unlike the test series. We're hopeful Rustagi will convert his test form to the top of the order as well!
