Warner's the guy i'de back to clear the boundary hooking/pulling of anyone in this lineup, but he's usually gone before it matters. This is gonna sound really stupid, but if england persist with this maybe move warner down to 5 and open with head?

If England do decide to bounce Lyon here it legitimately wouldn't surprise me if he did what we've been joking about and deliberately copped one on the melon.

Starc cops one on the helmet. If he gets a second one doesn't he have to get taken out of the game?

Those dismissals could be described as soft?

100 for the last 7 first innings Australia

About 80 odd for the last 6 so far this innings

Amazing really from the most basic tactics going

Bazball can't win with nerds in a way. If they deviate from all out aggression and self-memeing you lot go "this isn't very Bazball" and if they keep on trucking they'll cop it for being bone-headed. This has been hard to watch but these are pretty much textbook attritional tactics with a almost century long precedent.
Haha what. They've gone "We're trying to make cricket entertaining and saving test cricket, the result doesn't matter", and then used the most crushingly boring bowling tactics imaginable and made this a tedious match to watch so far. It's not a big deal but it's certainly funny.
