Australian Comeback?

3rd Test - 1-5 August, 2013 - Old Trafford

England
England will need to be far more upbeat in the initial stages of the game – more enthusiasm, more energy, and certainly more happiness - why? Because they will initially seem dull and since they will have a few glitches along the way, they will require more energy! They will recover well, but they will need to take a few more risks to see this one through.

1st Innings
A strong start and end to their batting innings will be seen, but middle order batting will need better application. On the other hand, their bowling will seem patchy at times, but overall control will be sharp and confident.

2nd Innings
Batting will be consistent but the batsman will need to refrain from complacency – it will not be all that easy. Initial bowling plans will need to be re-visited in order to be more successful.

The Captain - Alastair Cook
Captaincy will be very balanced and calculative. Cook's assessment of the situations will be well thought out.

Australia
Australia need to break themselves out of their negative mind-sets. At times, implementation of plans will be slow and under-confident. Some strong partnerships will help them maintain their position in the game – but they have to think quick and think ahead. Pro-activeness will be seen but in patches.

1st Innings
Batting will show some strength and some glimmer of hope, but again, they will lack consistency whereas bowling may not have an ideal start but will come back strongly.

2nd Innings
In this phase of the game, their batting innings will be strong, confident and aggressive, but it will be hard-work for them to maintain this. Bowling will be too temperamental but will finish well.

The Captain - Michael Clarke
Clarke is balanced, but he is going through a phase of transition with the team. Despite this, he is trying to push them for results which are not easiest to achieve at this stage.
