You should be asking Neser that, his career is effectively dead unless someone clubs Starc in an alley or gives him Covid.
good point. even though he finally made the side he only got to bowl half the overs Starc and Richardson did. It's like he wasn't even allowed to upstage them

Can't believe social media is full of people making out Buttler should stay in the team as he has shown he can play test cricket today. The dropped catches and months of crap displays are all forgotten then. Dear God.
Imho Buttler played the perfect knock today. I love a cricketer who fights really hard no matter how bad a game they’ve had and puts everything on the line, then fails against my team at exactly the right time.

It's a sad indictment of how my expectations have been lowered, but I find myself feeling, if not exactly pleased, then at least pleasantly surprised with today's efforts.

I mean, showing the testicles for a fight should be the bare minimum one expects from any team, but it's still nice we didn't just lie down for a belly rub.

we already knew he had heart, or at least i assumed he did. doesn't make him any more likely to score a fifty this series in a first innings

We would look stronger without Burns, Pope and Buttler though even if we replaced them with blind blokes with no arms.
Mate theres no one better. I'm not gonna sit here and sing Butlers praises......he's bog ordinary. But fmd.......he's just put up a wall and faced 200 balls hanging out for a draw against a class bowling attack. Is there anyone on the bench that could have done that?

bowling attack for mcg for the aussies picks itself now.

Richardson
cummins
hazlewood
lyon.
green -all rounder. more gives the bowlers a rest is valuable.

will be a tough call but richardson won the game here with valuable 2nd innings wickets ,and bowl in combination with a cummins /haze would be lethal for the batters.

I still think Jhye is the best bowler on either side in this game. Only way he plays next Test is if Haze isn't fit yet or Starc is "rested"
