2 now.
And then he lost his head? What’s with that? It’s not the first time.

Time and time again he steps up and swings the game .Yes now 2 tons this summer and as usual our bowlers cause havoc esp Hazelwood

Mitch Marsh a poor game he knicked off 7 times in his innings of 5
Dropped a catch which was a hard one and he looks a bit cumbersome in the field

How did he get to be 24 and only played 5 FC games? Injuries?

Yeah he looked a man out of form with that innings. Maybe he’s just finding these WI bowlers but bit difficult to get away. I reckon he will only get one more innings before the summer ends.

What is it with us getting the 10th wicket .Pakistan put on 86 next game Windies put on 55
Seems they slog a couple and line and length goes out the window .

Our bowlers are quite arrogant. When a tail ender is scoring off them, they get annoyed and lose their heads a bit, bowling bouncers at them…they even try to bowl faster, resulting in additional sundries (wides, no balls and byes).
It is stupid strategy when their normal plans remove top orders successfully.

Hookesy, RIP.

So impressed with Capt Pat .Could have bowled himself to add to his personal wicket glory but no .Let's Hazo get his 5 for and Starc get a couple and a bit of confidence
What's good for team is what Pat wants . He's a really good captain

I predict Shamar is soon to become a superstar. Why he's No 11 ?

Why didn’t he get the new rock?
This would have been the perfect time to give him the experience.

Really hope Ussie OK ,such a shame with only 1 run needed

Yeah me too, he’s a fav of mine.
I just love it when a fast bowler hits a batsman.
It used to happen to me a lot, I don’t think it was the quality of the bowlers though.

Don't see any need to change our 4 bowlers for Brisbane especially being a day/ night pink ball test which Starc excels at .
FYI 4 tests this summer wickets Cummings 23 Hazelwood 20 ,Lyon 16 ,Starc 15
Seems they all had their moments and with all these 2 or 3 day tests they get plenty of recovery time . Hope Khawaja can play its his home deck .
The 2 Feb tests in NZ are usually very green seamers so maybe give Boland a go there

Usman cleared of any jaw damage but has to undergo a concussion test this weekend to play in the 2nd test

How good is it to see a Windies quick who can strike fear into a batsman. Been way too long.

England will be annoyed that they didn't steal him to play for them.

Aren’t 2 of our top 3 guys born overseas?

Came here as children with their parents which is a lot different to the way the poms make them "english" after they turn 18/19 and show they can play cricket

So there are degrees of claiming players born overseas as your own?
