Bat again, bat till Lunch tomorrow, get some more overs into the Aussie's legs, give ourselves 5 sessions to bowl them out

Runs don't matter, just grind them to exhaustion.

Australia will be smart about this and probably have Lyon bowl unchanged from one end, with Mitch Marsh bowling a lot of overs as well. Give Haze/Starc/Cummins a break. There is nothing to bowl for here, and don't want to risk an injury with the series to save in Sydney. We could see Finch and Head both have decent length spells too.

Really hard to see a way back into this for Australia. They just gotta go through the motions here, and then back themselves (and the weather) to bat our a draw in the 4th.

Hopefully we get the over of listening to Tim Paine chirping. He's gonna have to produce some of his best bants in order to not sound like a complete knob.

This is the worst I think I've ever seen Australia do in a boxing day test. There was no reason to be rolled for 150 here.

All credit to Bumrah though who has done a great job padding his stats against minnows.

Honestly, unless we run through them with the new ball I would have our bowlers bowl short and white outside the off stump with a stacked off side field

If the Australian side of 2006 had have lost Ponting and Hayden, their top order would have been:

Langer
Jaques
Hodge
Martyn
Clarke
Watson
Gilchrist

Certainly enough batting there to score 350+ consistently.

98ao and 0/150-odd was most definitely worse than this

According to Google, 70% chance of precipitation on Sat and 80% on Sunday. For comparison, today is 30% chance. Man I am going to be so upset if we don't win it because of rain.
