Is Gus Atkinson at Surrey on England's radar? Always been very impressed whenever they can actually find space in their side for him.

It's been a funny day. Up until Orr left one, the openers were making it look very easy.
I've stopped watching now so can't see how Smith is going.

Smith 68 not out and running into form. All England’s nightmares gelling a few weeks out now. You love to see it.

Good point well made.......I had originally posted "baboon" and edited it quickly without much thought. Point stands though.

Ha! As if you're going back to any zoo after the last time when you shut the joint down cos everyone thought you'd escaped one of the enclosures!

True it is that the King of Beasts escaped their enclosure at Taronga earlier this year and at this stage are still not back on display while they think about their actions, however, I wandered about the place last evening and this morning with nary a tranquilizer dart in sight.

Putting on a decent partnership with an England U19's player in Coles. I suspect the old man is being talked through his rustiness by the young whipper snapper. He won't be getting that assistance when Robinson is demolishing his partners at the other end in the Ashes.

I thought this was going a very different way about half way through

And they could easily be facing Anderson (40), Broad (turns 37 before 2nd Test), Wood (33), and Leach (32 before 2nd Test), Woakes (34).
Only Robinson at 29 is under 30 out of the entire bowling units.
It does beg questions in both countries, where are the young bowlers?

Australia has a few solid young options in Jhye, sutherland and murphy, their all injured though. England have potts and rehan who you haven't mentioned and i'm sure theres others im not aware of.

I mean yes there are young options, but they all seem to be a long way behind the incumbents in terms of quality (except the spinners maybe).
Also, why are the younger bowlers the ones picking up the injuries? Throw in Archer too.

I've written off Richardson (and Pucovski) as they keep getting injured. Would love it if they both became fit and regular test players but I think it's likely Australia have to look elsewhere for young talent.
And Lance Morris (also injured)
