Wouldn't be too surprised if Santner gets asked to do an action test at some point in his career.

CdG erring in line a couple of times. Done a great job but will need to be relentless with line and length.

what was the southee thing earlier in the thread? did he give a spray right out of 2011?
Fielded off his own bowling, think Burns was out of his crease for a second so hurled the ball back at him and ended up looking a bit unnecessarily keyed up. Invited comment from Warner.

We've largely bowled pretty well, but there's just no zip in this pitch at all. Still getting some good shape in the air but it just hits the pitch and dies.

Recently played in Perth and the consensus local opinion is that the WACA is just about the only quick pitch in the state

Virtually every other one is slowish and/or 2 paced

This seems to sum up this one

Shame that they couldn’t have redeveloped the WACA
Then the consensus is rubbish because the WACA has been slow and flat for nearly two decades now.

Reckon a bit of the slowness at the start was simply the moisture in the pitch, and it'll quicken and harden by the end of the day
I hope so. Have seen a couple of Shield decks here that had a bit of pace and carry in them but this looks like he may have left a bit of water in it so it doesn't crack up over five hot days.

Given his previous form against Australia I’d have benched Southee if Boult was fit. But he has not been **** today. Not at all.

The two teams have something in common.

The African players are the only good ones.
