Dire session from the boys. Far too often we're leaving our tail to do the batting work in the first innings. It's pretty attrocious that we've gotten to the point where 31 is the second highest score in the innings and we'd consider that a "well made" 31. FFS, the batsmen should all be feeling wretched at missing out on another hundred on this deck.

Picking Bailey was a mistake. A HUGE mistake. As we all knew it would be. He's not a long form batsman.

It speaks volumes of Australian cricket that one of the next batsmen in line should be Jordan Silk, who really hasn't done all that much yet.

Interesting piece by Nasser on Clarkes short ball issue being related to the type of fast bowler. Ie tall vs skiddy.

God, I can't believe this is an aussie team.

This team has been consistently worse than some of the their bad teams of the 80s.

No it hasn't, believe me.
my point is that i don't see this slide stopping. There were tough nuts like AB around in the 80s which made you think that maybe there was a future. Of course there were the gregory or simon or whoever mcdonnell's as well but this ****ness doesn't seem like it will end anytime soon

The bowling in this side is still good though; will ensure it stays mid-table at worst.
