Harsh pitch this

Peter Siddle said, despite the colour, it’s been flat all summer.

Australia have always had issues on pitches with lots of movement.

Could be interesting if Australia end up all out as the lights are coming on.

Intresting way to get out marnus

Intresting way to get out marnus

That was just dumb cricket.

I must admit I was against Head getting a run this series and wanted Khawaja in instead however he has proven me wrong. Shame he threw it away

Great fight back

Can you image what the poms would have done if they batted first? It would have been an annihilation…..

Australia should have been no where near 300. Twice they had Australia on the ropes and let them off.

Not really they just belted their way out of trouble both times. Better bowler could have had them in big trouble

Rory Burns is the last English opener
to be run-out in a Test since.. Rory
Burns against New Zealand in
Hamilton in 2019.
Prior to that, the last English opener
to be run out in a Test was... Rory
Burns against Sri Lanka in Galle in 2018.

2nd Innings Aust 0/115 ….(effectively)

Another 100 will be enough against this English lineup…if we take our bloody catches!!!

Hard to believe Usman hit twin tonnes in Sydney a couple of days ago.
He is really struggling.

A change of gears, how does anyone enjoy 20/20. Thunder currently 8 wickets down after 15 overs. Total garbage.

Difference between opening and coming in a 5. I say that having pushed for Usman to open. He can do it but has struggled in this test.

Don’t know how anyone watches the BBL consistently. I don’t know anyone over 12 who cares about the results. You’ll watch it if you’ve got nothing else to do but really it’s as you said total garbage.

Scott Boland only needs to look to the last Aboriginal man to play for Australia Jason Gillespie and block his way to a test double ton here

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Don’t think Marnus will be holding on to his no 1 spot very long.

So have Warner, Marnus and Smith - obviously difficult batting conditions high in the order.

Boland did a great job as night-watchman and suffered hits on the fingers which may affect his bowling.
Not only did he protect the next batter due to come in, he also took on the facing much of the bowling, in doing so protected Steve Smith who faced very few deliveries.
