Possibly just the too often moments of madness like the last over....needs to work on his mental game.I really do wonder what happened to Carey in India, whether he just got totally bamboozled by his sweep game not working or whether it was just horrible luck. Because he looks in great form these two weeks and was in form in the Aus summer, so wtf happened there?
Rodney Marsh. Was he a ghost ?Merv H./ Rodney m & Gillespie in the crowd, enjoyed Aus spanking English bowling.
Absolutely not at all guaranteed that Aus get a first innings lead. I keep saying it but there really is very little after these two.We've definitely had better bowling conditions, so to give up a first innings lead says a lot about the declaration - and how wasteful we've been this evening. There's wickets there.

I honestly don't mind the declaration after seeing how today played out. Issue is that england haven't taken their chances. 3 catches dropped and the no ball wicket.We've definitely had better bowling conditions, so to give up a first innings lead says a lot about the declaration - and how wasteful we've been this evening.

If Australia toured Asia next week I'd open with Head again and bring in Handscomb, but that's obviously not a long-term solution. Hopefully someone leapfrogs Harris by the time Warner is dropped/retires, but sadly I do think we'll probably have to endure a few series of Harris failing before we move on to the real potential replacements.Now if only we could find another competent opener overseas (well, two, given Khawaja can't be around for that much longer)

Foakes will be back for India, I'm sure.Obviously England are not thinking this far ahead, but Bairstow keeping wicket for 4 tests in India is not something I would advise.
