Do actually really enjoy the contrast between him and Crawley.

Been very busy today as I am very important but I am very happy with how proceedings are unfolding.
Did Oz throw their wickets away this morning or did we get our tails up at last? Really feels like a wasted opportunity for Oz to really grind us into the dirt having previously done all the hard work

Is this one of those two truths one lie things people do on dating sites?

It's genuinely astonishing that Starc was picked. He has shown absolutely zero in the last six months to suggest that what has happened here today wouldn't happen.
A few good balls up front but mostly it was just our tail doing what it does. There's a reason why I was never really saying we should push for, like, 500; once England broke through to the tail with the new rock it was always going to end quickly.

Think this next session is all on Cummins bowling

500 should definitely have been the goal imo. With Smith looking how he was, if he hadn't just suddenly decided to slap one to gully out of nowhere 500+ would have definitely been a realistic prospect.
I also was surprised. They got Ness in the nets and completely wasted him by not being part of the squad. They selected Starc, despite him being average in the nets and the practice wicket. Isn't it obvious when he has been bowling poorly?

I'm taking 48 as another triumph for Crawley and for Pothas.

And then if Stokes doesn't declare, we can come back tomorrow morning and add to it.

Spot on re Strauss.

Stokes should declare with 60-80 BEHIND, Aussies will struggle to think what they need to do in the 2nd innings and be caught in two minds. Anderson will swing the ball more and it will be easier.

Starc is just a left arm Brett Lee and no one's going to convince me otherwise. Amazes me he somehow always manages to maintain that ~27 average.
Haha in my memory Bret Lee was actually a lot better.

starc doesn't have MUH HEART like lee did
i mean people actually he think he played well in that 2005 series when he was one of the key reasons australia lost
