Smith out - wd Jofra

[Burney]

If he's fit for Old Trafford, who do you drop to bring him in?

Woakes (this loses you a relatively strong batsman).
Archer (obviously no)
Broad (been our most effective bowler in terms of wickets so far)
Leach (you would be reliant on Root to be your spinner).

My vote would be to bring him in for Woakes & bring Liam Dawson in to replace leach (and the batting lost in dropping Woakes).

I wouldn't bring him in. We can't risk it. We have Australia at a disadvantage, so risking only having ten players ourselves would be retarded.

As far as I'm concerned, Anderson is finnish.

How dare you! Please consider the prospect of Archer bullying Aussies at one end with Anderson tying them in knots (and preventing them scoring at the other). He also bowls very well at Old Trafford, IIRC.

No, I'm sorry. He's shown he can't be trusted to assess his own fitness and he's ninety-fúck years old. Time to move on.
