Yeah he just has that scramble seam ball down an absolute beauty. Sometimes it decks, sometimes it decks and swings, sometimes it goes straight on. It's quite insanely good. Unfortunately that one swung in after pitching too much, whereas the Smith one was like a perfectly designed heat-seaking missile

Unfortunately that same late swing that made Carey miss it also made it slide down

Jeez, Carey didn't even look like he wanted to review that but it really dipped in late.

I see these teams seem to be getting on well. To my mind it's no coincidence Australia has started to under perform this summer since they've been nice to their opponents. Pakistan they were middling and it was all smiles. We lost a test to the WI and everyone got on well, now Marsh and Southee having a nice chat and a laugh on the field.

**** this ****. Obviously not every opponent is as odious and hateful as England and India, but we need to get back to what works best for us, and that's being complete and utter ****s to the opposition at every opportunity. Never miss a chance - if you see them stick their head up for a chat, kick it. If they go to pick the ball up when they're batting to toss it to you, appeal. No fraternizing until a series i won. None. Give them nothing. Then when they don't want to have a drink with you because you've been ****s to them, complain to the media and play the victim.

Get back to what makes Australian cricket great ffs.

If you act like an absolute **** all the time it will inevitably lead to Newlands.

We're definitely not going to get a second new ball here, so going to need to make something as this ball gets older.

Think we could've/should've scored 50 more runs to give 10 overs of a second new ball.

Yeah but it took 150 odd years for that to happen. Assume that was the reset, it'll next come around to bite us on the arse in about 2160 odd. I think it's worth it.
