Re kuhnemann chucking? Then what about Murali then. He managed 800 test wickets all around the world with his action. Kuhnemanns action isn't worse than murali. Granted it doesn't look that great but it's not worse than the SL ATG.

Re Connolly looks part time only.

Re they should just bowl Head and Lyon from both ends to get them out

So Head is a much better bowler than Connolly. So Connolly isn't even part time standard then.
But when this was pointed out earlier you claimed it was just because of Aussie pitches not being spin friendly as to why he had such a bad record 😆

Josh Inglis off the field with a sore back. Didn't he get injured recently being a sub-fielder in Brisbane Test? Sounds like he needs to only field as keeper 😆

yep now i agree with you lol. Obviously i needed some (video) evidence first. Hes a hack in bowling. Much worse than Murph who he replaced(for the batting partly). Why wasnt these issues spotted in the nets at least? Strange. The Selectors time and time again prove they have no clue(e.g. picking Mitch Marsh when we now and selectors also knew he was injured from the 1st test - stuff them!). Batting maybe Connolly is ok ,so we will see his batting later.

Australia a good specialist spinner short this match.

Smith has been way too impatient in this session. Impossible to settle into any sort of plan when it keeps changing every over.

If Aus had batted 1st, they'd have got 350. So par is definitely above 300. But 'if' the pitch deteriorates quickly, then 250+ might just be enough.
