"We felt like it was too much of a risk to go in with a couple of lads who are carrying niggles. So, therefore, it was right to bring Stuart back in."

England's assistant coach Graham Thorpe said

The veteran pacer, Stuart Broad had expressed his displeasure at being left out of the two Tests in Brisbane and Melbourne. He has only played the previous Adelaide test. Broad felt he wasn't able to contribute or do anything about England going down 0-3 in the Ashes. However, he has been on the sidelines for the majority of the series.

"I hope we've got a couple of caged tigers coming into this match, Ben being one of them and Stuart Broad another. Getting the players into the right frame of mind is important. I think they want put in a performance for themselves and collectively for the team."

Grahan Thorpe added
