Again though, if he was just a tad fuller he’d catch edges.

Lol Head done it again.

That’s two changes of bowling got a wicket first ball this innings.

What genuinely shits me about tha tdismissal is that ball was so ****ing terrible it should still be going up after being hit.

Head seriously needs to work on that. It's probably something that will come with more experience and tbf under a better batting lineup it would be less noticeable but he needs to show better ability to hang in tight against the trap.

5/163 now effectively. Hopefully the tail can wag here, though even 200 shouldn't be that difficult to defend on this wicket.

After all those from Bumrah, THAT is what gets the stick!?
even if it's not the waca (where that sort of dismissal is common), you do expect wickets like that on a pitch like this.

it's a game knowledge thing. that shot would be absolutely safe on, say, the scg. but here it's a genuine wicket-taking plan.

like did he not realise that 3rd man was there
At least he was planning on it going square. Initially I thought it was a deliberate flash over the slips.

I have a feeling I've seen him get out like that a lot in the Shield.

Gift. Head is still one of the better batsmen in this lineup though.
Apart from Harris 1st innings all our specialist bats either gave gifts or otherwise got worked over in a fatally flawed manner.
