Can’t underestimate how huge winning that first toss is for England. Bat first and they’re no better chance at winning than they are in this Test. Makes for an interesting series.

We need a cam green innings here. Announce yourself on the world stage big fella 🙏

We even Bazball better than England can

A little late to the party here. . One of the worst errors I have ever seen made by Australian selectors.. No Lyon?? Unforgivable. If you bowl England out in 40 overs, no he probably doesn’t bowl. But you win… if England bat 60 + he is needed.

Starc holding up his end. What a star. But he has no help. Why do we need to play Boland, Doggett, Neser, either Green too. No Lyon is shocking. If they did want an extra seamer, Webster instead of Inglis is the obvious one. But still not even required.

Following on… I think Aus win this test. We cannot underestimate Aus batsmen at home, especially given the conditions. Pink ball, good batting wicket, batting during the day. Once the shine is gone it will be easy batting vs a pedestrian English bowling lineup, bar Jofra.

So Aus still box seat imo. But it is game on, need to make 400 which I think we do. Early wickets key for the Poms, get Smudge in vs the new ball. If smith comes in after 20 overs, I’m sorry Poms but it is all over he is not getting out.

Actually a really good quote here from Pat and agree 100% So wtf changed ?

My idea for slow overrates as Aus and Smith clearly used it as a tactic in pink ball test, even though Aus are serial offenders. If less than 80 overs bowled in a day, the opposition can choose any selected player to not be able to bowl in the next innings.

That might be the best catch I’ve ever seen.

Nahahahah archer you are embarrassing yourself. Chirping at the goat

Smith out probably the most irreplaceable player in the Aus side. Best bat and will be a very interesting watch on Cummins captaincy without his right hand man. England a chance ??? 😯

There’s one back for the poms. That was out. Clearly a catch and I don’t want to see any slow mo replays

Sammy’s BBL power rankings. 1. Renegades 2. Stars The Big Melbourne clubs are back boys.

Josh Brown is one of the worst pickups the renegades could’ve got. If they pick him next game it isn’t on him it’s on the selection panel. Not up to it.

Turner the best in the business in these situations. Unfortunate he’s been the finisher his entire career. I think he’s probably one of the better t20 players in Aus and probably the world. Would’ve loved to see him bat with more time over the years.
