    Ok - so in the situation that happened so often last series. The bottom half of the order could add 2-300 runs with Haddin in the mix.

    But they can't do it all the time.

    Will be an interesting third day.

    I know Lyon is in early but its a pretty good thing when you are bring starc in at 10.
    I think the scores will be pretty even by end of 1st innings. England will set a big target and it will end in a draw.

    I love how people (not you specifically you guys) judge a batting and bowling performance before both teams have had a bowl/bat.
    You really cant gauge how good,bad or average England or we were until they bowl and we have a bat.
    Going according to plan so far....our bats all did the hard work then threw it away forcing the pace. Cant see us getting in front.

    Eng as predicted well on top. Depending on Watson for a score is ultimate farce. We arent the almighty as we talked up with both bowlers and bats getting done.

    Only weather can save us.

    Warner is a bloody idiot. 10 runs off 5 balls, then he goes after him again! Australia keep giving this guy wickets. So bloody dumb.

    Aussies throwing their wickets away.
    Reverse sweeps etc, rubbish cricket.
    Smith should hang his head in shame.
    Disgrace to the nation.

    Smith was thinking about his team more so than his batting average. I have no problem with that.

    He wanted to try and score quickly and this time it didn't pay off.

    Admit the reverse sweep is an ugly shot but when you pull it off it sends a message to the bowler that you think they are a complete ****ing joke and you have no respect for them as cricketers.

    The more people start looking at the reverse sweep as a legitimate cricket shot the closer we get to some Mongs wanting Glenn Maxwell back in the team.

    yeah save it for the pyjama stuff. Smith did his job brilliantly and knew it was time to go. Nevill did well with the bat

    yeah thought he looked the part. nice debut.

    don't mind if he keeps the job, sounds like Brad Haddin is gonna be busy with neighbourhood watch for a while anyway.





    too soon?
