Time to give Connolly another go to justify his selection

Also Webster can bowl off spin why not try.

Has any Aussie ever had a less impactful debut than Connolly?

0/12 off 3 overs, then 4 runs with an atrocious shot, now Head bowling ahead of him even though he's taken a bowlers spot as 3rd spinner 😆

I know why Inglis keeps getting injured. Its because he's used to squatting down as a keeper all day in that one spot. When he's running around, sprinting, fielding and throwing from the deep it's affecting his body and too much of that suddenly. The team management need to step in to put him as a backup or standby keeper whenever Carey is injured or out of form. He's not test material as a batter only . Back issues is a big sign of trouble. They already have enough batters for the Ashes with Green and Patterson.

He runs like me only fatter, and I’m 55yo with **** knees. He’s an anti-athlete.

I'll raise you Roy Park in 1920, no runs ( out first ball) wickets or catches

Can't quite figure out this wicket. We are not seeing the extreme turn we saw in the morning anymore. Does it have anything to do with SL opting for the heavy roller?
