Every ****ing time. Infuriating.

I think it's because of all the practice they get against medium paced swing bowlers in England and that they have such a potent array of quicks that can make the most of our conditions. Almost all other teams struggle in one area or the other, or are England.

If Australia lose any match in this series they drop below NZ in the Test rankings. Did they get as low as 5th in the 80s or would this be a new low?

It's pretty funny to me as I'd say of the top teams in the world, Australia is the one NZ would struggle with the most at home.

Trying to think back to the 80s, there would have been WI, Pakistan, England, INdia and NZ ahead of Australia at some point around 85-87 I'd imagine, but I'm not 100% sure.

They used to be available on the ICC website. Pretty sure Oz were ahead of only Sri Lanka for a fair chunk of that time. I'm guessing for most of 1987 (until their home NZ series win) as their last Test series win was 83/84.

these two are batting very well. Conditions are tough but they're hustling for runs where they can. Can see Shakib and Miraz getting frustrated

Are any of you currently in Aus, and if so, why not use Foxtel Now?

Got rid of sport on Foxtel because I can live stream AFL & NRL via my phone and Apple TV onto the big screen in the lounge room or bedroom. Did the same with the India-Aus series earlier in the year but found finding a site today a pain, though all is as it should be now.
