From what I heard from the broadcast Usman told the Cap'n to declare after this mornings play was lost to rain. It was his decision.

Or maybe it was reported like that to not put undue pressure on a new skipper under a new coach? Believe nothing.

He should have been told you’ve got 3 overs, get it and walk off.

Sure but he won’t have a double tonne to his name. He is also 36 so won’t get that chance again I’d say.
Point taken But cricket being Cricket It'll all go into history to give cricket fans something to talk about and bore the rest of us with for years to come.

Agreed. They won't get a result let the bloke get 3 overs or so to get 5 runs. Bloody hell
Inversely, if at the end of todays play and the Aussies need those extra overs to win the test..... well you'd never hear the end of it from the ex test players and the media:
"the game is not played for individual glory. It's a team game" etc etc.
And there is nothing those ex players like more than to behave like piranhas on the current team, especially after the Langer situation.
For the better of the team it was the right decision, a shame, but still the right decision.

Absolutely the right decision. Have to go for the win. Kawaja faced 368 balls. Had the opportunity to reach the milestone.

Turns out should have gone for the 5. We were never getting 20 wickets in less than 2 days on that pitch.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
All the talk before the game was how the SCG is back to its spinning ways, and the fifth day would be a death day for whoever batted. Turns out with all the rain it had moisture through the wicket, not dried out as predicted.
This is test cricket, not games played on the day. They have to pick a team they think will win over the 5 days, they didn't pick a team that could bowl out a team twice in 2 days, but they did give themselves their best chance possible.

I saw Ramien wondering the streets today, outside where he lives I presume, with just shorts on, no shoes or shirt.
I'd like to borrow his rig sometime as there are a few birds that may appreciate me a bit more, and a few blokes i know who need a good knock across the chops.
