It is obviously a very good wicket but Australia's seamers outside Hazelwood haven't bowled that well either.

Oh yeah I don't disagree. I'm just utterly baffled at this attempt to hallucinate seam movement into the pitch when it's barely there. Look at the sort of shots these two are playing and the confidence with which they can hit through the line of the ball for even good length deliveries. They're fine players but they're not doing that if one or two an over are biting and moving like they were last week at the Oval.

Don't underestimate the value of scoreboard pressure..This match is getting away from Australia
Nah the scoreboard is fine. Two wickets here and Australia are in a great position. The quality of cricket on show is much more of a problem than the scoreboard. Obviously they can't let these two score like this for too long though.
