Broad returns as England confirm XI for SCG Test

England have always refused to change their struggling batting lineup, but in Sydney’s fourth test, their current lead checker for the Vodafone Ashes, Oli Robinson, will be absent.

Assistant coach Graham Thorpe confirmed today that Robinson and Chris Walkers, who have won 9 wickets in the 26-year-old series so far, have been taking care of shoulder problems and entering the SCG New Year test. This opened the door for Stewart Broad to return to the wing to strengthen the offense, along with Mark Wood, Jimmy Anderson and the spinner Jack Rich.

Thorpe said: “We thought it was too risky to go in with a few lads with gadgets.”

“So, it was right to bring Stewart back.”

Broad’s return came after he was frustrated by the neglect of Brisbane and Melbourne tests on the bowling courts he thought was suitable for him, and Australia’s Steve Smith admitted this week that this choice surprised him. . It seems like I missed the two best diagonal courses in Australia,” Broad wrote in the Daily Mail on Sunday.

“It was very disappointing to play this trip only once, and it did not meet my personal expectations.

“The biggest frustration is losing the Ashes, falling behind 0-3 and feeling like I didn’t do anything. As an experienced player, it is very difficult to not be able to influence the series during the live broadcast of the series.

“I will argue that I won’t have a better chance to get into the wicket than in Brisbane and Melbourne.” Cummins said today that he expects the SCG stadium to be less conducive to seam bowling than last week’s MCG.

“We will not blow them up. There is a bit of grass on it, but traditionally it is hard work and takes five days,” he said.

England has decided not to make any changes to the batting lineup that only scored 68 points on the MCG last week.

Captain Joe Root and third-ranked David Maran are the only frontline batsmen in the series to average more than 20 points per game. Since Rory Burns and Ollie Pope have dropped from the side after the second test in Adelaide, Dan Lawrence is the only front-line batsman among the teams that have not yet participated in the series .
