I think the fact that the pace attack consistently conceded runs throughout the session (only one maiden for the session) showed that spin could be used as a different method.I think he has faith in him but when he wanted to bring him on they were leaking just a few too many runs.
One of those difficult things as a skipper. I think Cummins gets a few calls wrong, and ideally you'd have wanted Murphy to bowl sooner, but it was cloudy early and it was doing enough to persist with the seamers for a good part of the morning. The four wickets were great but ideally they'd have leaked 20 or so less.
Do or die for his series here. Needs to step up.Big act of faith by Cummins to turn to Boland here.
Bless you for your eternal pessimism Aid!Are people not familiar with England batting collapses? Especially in the 4th innings.
This is far from over. Aussies are strong favourites.
