see australia are lucky they didn't have to travel from australia to the windies, play tests, then back to england, more tests (and iirc some limited overs) and finally then the ashes all in a cramped as **** schedule

Awful umpiring though lets face it. Hit the top of the pad with the batsman jumping. Lack of basic cricketing common sense which is worrying in an umpire.

This is a real test for our youngsters, let's see what they're made of. As for our bowling, I thought we were let down by Shannon Gabriel who let the pressure go at crucial times. I also thought JT was poor this afternoon. In hindsight Permaul should have played ahead of Gabriel but it's all very well saying that now, it would have been a brave call at the start of the match.

Tbf Adam Voges was brilliant, definitely one of the best debut innings I've seen.

Have always liked how Voges nurdles the ball for 1s and 2s. It's great to see him finally break it at the test level.

Think it was Dujon on commentary who said Voges balances out the flair players like Warner, Smith and Clarke. It's good to have a boring but reliable guy when there's alot of stroke makers. He did play some nice shots to get to 100 when he thought he might get stranded tbf.

hazlewood is the next big thing for australian bowling and we are so lucky we can churn such good quality bowlers out like this

Oh boy. This is as tough. As it gets for a group of youngsters. Bravo and Samuels have to step up or we're screwed.

Really don't agree with throwing Dowrich in at 4 against this bowling. Why is Marlon hiding?

Ramdin and a couple of the bowlers looked happy and relaxed when the came off from fielding. That doesn't seem right when you just gave up 196 for the last 2 wickets and let the match slip.

That's a seriously impressive ton on that pitch. His score stands out like dog's balls compared to every other score in the match.

We are blessed with riches in the bowling department at the moment and that is why we'll get 20 English wickets on a regular basis in the upcoming Ashes series.
