Bangladesh was a tough series TBF. Australia was on the whole mostly mine fields. 29 and 30 are fine scores.

Eng in Eng is the only real poor showing IMO.
Yes, true, but his record for a few series prior to that was amazing.

Anyway, judging by cricinfo commentary Vettori is scoring a lot of runs semi-controlled (thick-edged) through slips, gully and point, so must be in decent form!

100 partnership up. Just quitely, this is reminding me of the Test in Pakistan where Irfan Pathan got a hat trick and Pakistan were reduced early, but then came back to win the game. It was the wicketkeeper that time.

Your reverse-kiss-of-death isn't welcome here :dry:

Try being positive about India please.

Great fightback from Ryder and Vettori - top work!

Not sure why we're playing Martin, O'Brien, Mills and Franklin. Could easily have left out Martin and picked another batsman. Ryder has been pretty good with the ball this summer and could have filled the 4th seam-bowling role IMO.

Hmm, I'm not so sure if he could. Definitely has the potential to do so in the longer term though.

Maybe, but Franklin is probably not considered fit for 3rd seamer at the moment and so will be the 4th seamer.
