Good luck Usman, hope he has a good one.

aus batting first. congrats england.

I was surprised after I saw what Australia would do after they won the toss. Batting in overcast conditions isn't smart, especially with a batting line up that has been falling apart in recent times.

Why on earth is Smith still in the Australian team if they've admitted he isn't a good enough batsmen to bat 6 and isn't a good enough bowler to be the only spin option? I highly doubt this pitch is going to require two spinners on by first looks as well.

Just seems like a position completely wasted from where I'm sitting, whack a batsmen in there.

Idk, is it bad if i'm tempted to bring North back in? At least he was a wicket taker with the ball, and def a better batsman than Smith!!

What about Cam White? Not test quality for sure IMO but better than SMITH!

May as well give Smith the experience and another go. To be honest, this game doesn't mean alot.

Are you out of your mind or what ?? This game definately is important. We have lost the Ashes but we can square the series and stop the Poms from a series win. How you can say this one is no important

 

[Covvy]

Because we lost the ashes, the biggest thing in cricket.

haha it was only a matter of time.

I wonder how many people are waiting to see Khawaja! Just get out already Hughes, you suck

 

[Themer]

Aussie's to get 100 partnership up then collapse to 130/4, my ill-educated guess for here.

 

[shravi]

King Phaillip at it again .

 

[Biggy]

On ya Phail.

 

[Roofrom50]

No idea why he had to play that shot. It looked to have guide through to Collingwood. Giving his wicket away to cheaply the Australian's all series.. It's pathetic

 

[Themer]

That is such a terrible shot just before lunch of a test match its unbelievable. Simply cannot comprehend how this guy averaged over 60 in First Class cricket at one point.
