Wow wow wow what a bowling display from Starcy and Scotty. Unfortunately away and unable to view but I can tell by @Stevec ’s commentary that it would have been unreal to watch.

Batting lineup does need some work still if we are to beat the poms. Definitely going to be an interesting Ashes this summer can’t wait!

King of the Pink Ball
👑
🎀

Mitchell Starc has 5 five-wicket hauls in Day-Night Tests — more than anyone else!
And guess what?
💥
3 of them are 6-wicket hauls
🔥

Under lights, there’s no one deadlier than Starc with the pink ball

I have always thought Starc is one of our all time greatest
His longevity and fitness levels are elite
My GOAT of Aussie bowlers is and has always been Lillee
His 355 wickets in 70 tests not counting his supertests is great
Interesting Starc 402 wickets in 100 tests is amazing .100 Tests is a long time for someone bowling 145 kph
Note Starc s Strike rate is wicket every 47.5 balls vs Lillee 52.2 balls but DK is still my no 1
Special note Scott Boland 62 wickets in 14 tests has by far the best Strike Rate of any Australian Bowler with 50 or more wickets EVER ! that is 36 balls
 
West Indies cricket chiefs have called an emergency meeting that will include former greats Sir Vivian Richards, Sir Clive Lloyd and Brian Lara following their humiliating third Test defeat to Australia which saw them bowled out for 27

Hazo - 52.2
McG- 51.9

I love Starcy’s first spell, always have, he’s a first over specialist, it’s what gets me up at 4am.

Hey BF you don't realise it at the time but I was commenting on an event that is of historic proportions .I wonder how many times during future tests that commentators will make reference to the events of this day .A hat trick ! That's gets overshadowed by a first over 3-0 and an eventual 6-9 with the not out batsmen Azzari being dropped twice off Starcs bowling .
Looking forward to the Ashes and I hope they have "skull " and Ian Smith involved in commentary

I had Skull at a construction trade show as entertainment, giving a talk on old cricket stuff, he’s funny, a good storyteller.
But he was shitting bricks before going on and I had to tell him how great he was, and how the boys will love him, (stroke his ego), to get him to go on.

He was Great!!!

I think he cost us 10k for that.
