No that was a different series right, the one with the flattest pitches ever seen and Johnson basically went "**** this ****, I ain't bowling on these" and retired on the spot?

Nah warner and burns opened together in both series I think?

Joe Burns opening career for Australia another thing I've tried to purge all memory of.

Fair. Just remembered that 2021 border gavaskar series and really wished I didn't. Matthew wade and an out of form burns opening. By the end of the series we were so desperate we called up warner while he was on crutches.

Nah England are still a fair way in front IMO (and I thought, and still think, England were well short of par yesterday). There really isn't much batting after these two.

There's none at all really. Absolutely horrendous tail resulting from the Boland/Starc swap. Not sure I can remember a worse one from Australia for years and years. When was the last time Australia had a worse #9 than Lyon?

I don't think starc would have helped this tail much, his test batting has fallen off a bit recently. Averaging 12 with the bat since the start of 2022.

The tail we put up for the first two games against India, given the conditions, was even worse than this. We were basically batting with a #10 and three #11s.
