In this match he certainly COULD be, the bowlers will have a say though quite obviously.

Paine lbw Leach 21 (Aus 200-6)
Bloody hell. Made the mistake of tuning in to the last half hour of the golf. I’m a wreck. Right. back to the Test Match.
Broad gets Cummins ct behind 244-7
series drawn
And that has restored some pride to the team, a 2-2 draw when most were expecting a 5-0 whitewash (after the first test) is a credible result.
Don’t care what you say @Barry-Sanchez I am proud of our boys today. Yes I know there is a lot of work to do and a lot of betterment to be made but they have done OK.
That was a REALLY good spell of bowling by Root.
Old fashioned shithousery/village cricket.
There is rough, so just lob donkey drops with varying degrees of spin into the rough outside the left handers off stump.
Incredibly effective. Enjoyable afternoon of sport once I woke up from a much needed day off snooze
The thing I love most about cricket is the will to win is there like any sport but afterwards they take the result with respect, great session of cricket and onto New Zealand in what will be a great series of cricket on wickets similar to ours.
I’d take Pope, to NZ, give the gloves to Buttler.
Also think Sam Northeast may be worth a tour spot.
I did like the picture on Twitter of both teams sharing beers after the game.
As it should be
I’d take Foakes, surely he has done enough, let Buttler and Bairstow fight for the 6, I’d take Buttler for this tour though.
Yes, this is why I love cricket, its as it should be.
