whats Mitch role in the side?

Break partnerships by bowling fast wide half volleys which batsmen inexplicably edge. Which is the only role he's ever been consistently effective in.

haha...PEWS.

Interesting time here. We're doing good work but I can see Clarke getting frustrated.

Copeland's miserly bowling is a good foil to a bowling line-up with attacking bowlers but unfortunately we don't have any apart from Harris so basically his inability to contribute in terms of wickets is only adding to the burden of this bowling attack.

*States McGraths average after however few games*

But seriously. Cut the guy a bit of slack, he's earned it.

Yep, the attack has done a terrible job this series with Sri Lanka reaching 400 in every innings. It needs wholesale changes; time to debut Pattinson and Cummins to see if they can have an absolutely immediate impact in their first two Tests before trying something else.

Massive understatement, I'd drop all 4 of them. Bring back McGrath! It's our only hope!

Lyons must be throwing up a little in his mouth with both Clarke and Mussey on.

 

[uvelocity]

pattinson in for johnson though

He's dropped a bit short this innings, not as short as Clarke admittedly. Good experience for him bowling to these guys.

I wish Clarke would allow longer spells for the seamers. Well, at least Johnson and Copeland as neither of them are being hit around.

ban

It's hard to maintain confidence when you are fairly used to losing which they are now. Any setback must look like a slippery slope.
