    Head gets to 50 and then gets himself out with a total scrambled brain miscue. Good plan bowling at his body

    Nice ball from Nortje to get a deserved second wicket in two balls.

    Elgar is a shit captain. Nortje takes out two batsmen bringing the tail to the crease, and keeps his bullshit spread field for a hat trick ball.

    Two more slips and a silly mid off was the call

    Interesting call. Hardly a spike.

    Unfasthionable opinion. David Warner is one of the great batsmen of the last 20 years and never gets the credit he deserves. To score a double ton on his 100th Test at the MCG will have been a sweet moment for him after coping a lot of shit in his career.

    averages 60 in Aus, South Africa and Bangladesh

    Averages 26 in England, 24 in India, 26 in the Windies, 25 in Sri Lanka and 13 in NZ. Has never scored a 100 in any of those countries

    That does not say "great" to me.

    Similar sorts of numbers to Latham really. And look, most batsmen pad their averages against the shit sides, but agree to be a great you should at least have a respectable record in the tougher conditions.

    Anil Kumble: averaged 20 in India and 40 outside India.

    Carey is such an enormous upgrade on Paine

    (incidentally, where does a bog average cricketer with 35 tests get the unmitigated gall to release a book?)

    This Australian side right now looks easily the best in the world. Their batting is full of runs, Lyon is still a canny operator, we've discussed the ridiculous pace depth already, and Green is coming along nicely.

    Horribly one-sided summer of cricket.

    Haven't you heard? - England are reinventing cricket

    Best side ever, anywhere, any time - in the history of the game.

    Question now is whether we can finish off this game. Deck looks easy. Our bowling stocks are depleted in terms of pace

    Lot of overs for Lyon as well as the part timers

    I think all the part timers are spinners? Smith, Marnus, Head

    Sounds like Starc will attempt to bowl

    because there are still 7+ sessions left

    (and the ACB needs the ticket revenue)
