Not Terrible
One positive for Australia would be the bowling performance of MJ, the state of the match helped him with the figures, however hopefully he regains some confidence. He chipped in well with the bat too, gave us a chance.

We needed to get more from Vettori's bowling, spin a real Achilles heal ATM.
Thing about Vettori is you go after him he takes wickets.

That's true. You did handle Patel better than I was expecting though, was quite impressed by the sixes hit off his bowling.
Flighted deliveries that were looking for the mis-hit but the Aussies were up to the task TBH.

Patel bowled pretty bloody rubbish today. Was too leg-sideish and couldnt seem to hit a good length consistently.
Wouldn't say rubbish but average would be a fair assessment. Was Perth though, and a batsman's track, could've went much much worse.

Since they didn't give Elliott a bowl I would say him, although I hope it is Patel. At the end of the game Mills said they are hoping to get Oram back in this series.

They should drop Elliott for Cumming and bring in Ryder for Patel. We desperately need the extra batting and Ryder, Taylor and Cumming can make up 10 overs surely.

Mmmm no I'm definitely giving Haddin that one. Should have been not-out but it looks and i presume feels like it's taken a deflection off the top of the bail.

Thank you very much for that clip mate.

I'd say I have to be dumb and blind if to argue that Haddin did not know he dislodged the bails. And the way he quickly pulled his hands back, and ran in celebration is a mockery of the spirit of the game. Too close to cheating.
Slightly OT. But this one should take the cake when it comes to cheating.

Disclaimer : I am not sure a formal appeal followed this incident. If it did, then Healy is the worst worst worst cheat of them all.
