Jeez Patto is gun. Can't wait till he sorts his **** out and stops breaking down all the time, will dominate.

Hated seeing Starc come around the wicket so early as well.

FTR, My distinction is that it wouldn't be surprising at all to see Vijay ton up against a non England/SA/Oz attack. He's a reasonably decent bat against non-top class bowling.
He's a reasonably decent bat against non-top class bowling on a flat wicket at home.

Looked clueless in the West Indies too.

He has a very good range of shots which impresses people but his defensive game for a opener is not there and he has no idea where his off stump his.

Ofcourse, he can ton up but he shouldn't be playing really.

WTF were the aussies doing appealing for LBW on those two SRT paddle sweeps?? Not even close. They don't want to fell into the same trap as India.

How hard does Sachin want to get out LBW to Lyon? fmd

Sachin was scared of the full toss too. Didn't want to pull a Kohli.



The only person who likes pulling Kohli is me ftr

Haha, Laxman so modest.

If you had a top 5 list of best Laxman + Sachin innings, Laxman would have four I reckon and I'm not really criticizing Sachin.

Siddle has looked very unlikely here. Always been a bit of an enigma to me, bowls a heap of ordinary spells then something tends to happen for him. Bit of a third session specialist.

Think Aussies have missed a trick here by not bringing Patto back on. He was on fire and taken off after just 3 overs...he's now had a good rest so should be straight back on.

If we don't break this partnership soon it will be tough going.

I don't know if you're aware who the captain is, but...
Haha I know Clarke likes to change his bowlers around but I still doubt you'd find too many examples of Australia using five bowlers inside the first 15 of a Test innings under his captaincy, especially when we were actually taking wickets.
