it's been said before but imagine if chris woakes wasn't totally inept when he crossed international waters it's insane how good he is during home
 

White Ball

State 12th Man
This kind of score probably is better for Straya than if they made 400 in a weird way. I can see England bringing bazball into play in these condition and that probably brings Australia more into the match.

International Regular
Just been checking forecasts. Saturday morning and afternoon session look very wet, but rest is reasonably ok.

I mean he bowls at just about 80 MPH and without movement he's doing little more than giving throwdowns

Interesting to see the field set. Are Australia going for the kill or are they going to put the onus on England to move the game forward as rapidly as they need to?

The key to Australia getting 300+ when only 2 players got to 50?

Every batsman bar Hazlewood got to double figures. It's as simple as that. We can't afford people giving their wickets away in the single digits

But surely in Test Cricket it's about converting starts ? I don't think it's a positive when your top 7 make starts and nobody kicks on to a hundred ..
