Analysis
Among the wicketkeepers, Jos Buttler should be a certain pick in your fantasy side. Alex Carey, who has replaced Tim Paine in the playing XI, could also prove to be an X-Factor pick considering how the left-handed batsman has performed in the domestic circuit over the years. Steve Smith and Joe Root are obvious picks and are also potential options for captain/vice-captain in your side.
Marnus Labuschagne and Chris Woakes could be handy inclusions among the all-rounders. It is a wicket where pacers have dominated historically which is why James Anderson, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Ollie Robinson could get some vital points for your fantasy team in this Test.
