Australian journalists noticed Dew strolling with Aussie gamers and members of the teaching workers throughout a day of coaching on the well-known cricket venue. He was carrying full official Australian crew gear.

Dew is but to talk publicly about his dismissal from the Suns with the soccer membership being broadly criticised for its shambolic dealing with of the messy scenario.

The good news is his unemployment seems to have lasted simply a lot of days.

A cynical view can be that Dew could also be there to console any Aussie gamers about to have the axe come down on them along with his current first-hand expertise, but it surely seems more and more probably these counselling companies received’t be wanted for David Warner.

The struggling opener’s place within the Aussie XI has been the most important choice speaking level out of the Aussie dressing room since England’s Third Test victory.

With all rounder Cameron Green declaring himself match and able to go — and Mitchell Marsh making himself not possible to drop with a Test ton in Leeds — the one potential gap is Warner’s spot on the prime of the order.

His wretched run towards Stuart Broad continued because the English fast collected him on each events, making it 17 instances in Test cricket he’s claimed his wicket.

Australian selectors are confronted with a frightening activity of whether or not or to not drop Warner, a transfer that may all however convey an finish to his Test profession.

Footage from England posted by Cricbuzz journalist Bharat Sundaresan confirmed the embattled opener within the nets alongside Usman Khawaja and potential substitute Marcus Harris.

All three had been the one Australian batsmen to face new ball situations within the nets, additional fuelling hypothesis of Warner’s future.

The video appears to rule out the potential for Australia thrusting Mitchell Marsh into the opening function alongside Khawaja.

Green was touted as a possible man to take the highest of the order spot, however his return to the crew will extra probably than not come within the center order.

Harris mentioned trying to place a center order batsman into a gap function would solely have a detrimental impact.

“I think it depends on the conditions and where you are,” Harris mentioned.

“Like you saw in the subcontinent, it is probably the best time so to have someone destructive like Heady, he can open the batting there.

“But I think probably in England and Australia, the way the wickets have been the last couple of years and New Zealand, those sort of wickets, it’s more of a specialist position.

“And you want your destructive players like Greeny or Mitch or Travis to be coming in against a bit more of an older ball.”

The Fourth Ashes Test will get underway at Old Trafford on July 19 at 8pm AEST.
