Dobell and Kimber used to be ok.

Now they're pretty ****e.

I have no idea what they wore before they started making videos, but jesus christ, not taking an interest in your appearance doesn't make you appear louche. Don't have to wear a suit or anything, just don't embrace the "IDGAF I'm a dad who used to want to be able to skateboard" thing just quite yet.

The thing is, mall brands catch up so quickly these days that you have to have made a deliberate effort to look like you don't give a crap.

I don't mind Kimber; he takes a step back from doing an actual match report and tends to look at events in a match within a wider context. I'm not really a fan of his style of writing, but I can see myself enjoying talking to him about his perspective of the game.

Dobell; nah. Comes across as a snarkish blogger, a bit like that Peter Miller.

Gutted I missed all of last nights play :(

Awesome from TPC/Rogers though, and of course Super Mitchell Johnson (y)

Enough with the soft dismissals too please Clarke...

The dismissal was the least worrying thing about that innings tbh. Came out batting with lead shoes and a toothpick.

Don't think I've ever seen Pup look so uncomfortable at the crease.

I can see him chucking it if Australia win this series tbh.

Nah I can remember him looking even worse. Oval 2013 was truly painful, Gabba 2011 was pretty bad too. So he does have a record of suddenly looking completely dreadful at the crease, but we'll have to see if it's one-off or a broader thing.

He's actually looked in good nick of late, just gotten himself out. Broad, though, is giving him severe problems.

It's definitely not a one off ,,,Clarke is just batting very poorly imo. He had a similar innings in UAE too where he looked like he was batting with a stump. Just didn't know what he was doing.

Yeah and he was woefully unfit there, not to mention his stance looked ridiculously heavy.
