Double post. I haven't dared look at my rankings, but my feeling is that any players in my squad who haven't come good, will come good. So only the one change - Lyth steps down to twelfth man.
Very tempted to change captain to Root, but it feels like that would be tempting fate.

Anyway, no one has really had a shocking start, but Chris Rose's global 6th place takes some beating.

I am going to do my thorough research before settling on my team for the second test, but I'm afraid, I'm already too far behind.

Anyone going to make sweeping changes to their Ashes Fantasy side?

I can't remember my password! I hope that I have the right players - think I had Lyth as 12thie at one point and Siddle in the team...

I didn't realise that - thank goodness! Anyway, I remembered the password, and I had Moe out for Siddle, but it doesn't sound like it would have made any difference.

I dropped Bell and Starc and replaced them with Rogers and Broad. Thus my current XI is:
Cook, Warner, Rogers, Root, Voges, Ali, Buttler, Wood, Hazlewood, Broad, Lyon.
Reasonably happy.

You know that this is going to be the only test of the series where Bell makes a century now, don't you

That's my silver lining of the Test so far.
