It's not normal to have a top 7 of that quality mate

Most teams have 2 or 3 genuine gun batsman and the rest are trying to earn their stripes
I'm not saying I expect us to always have 7 batsmen capable of averaging 50 like the glory days. But when blokes can get into the team without even averaging 40 at shield level then clearly the depth isn't there. Not just of superstars but even just solid reliable test level bats.

Plenty of ones and twos out there

No need to do anything silly

Poms holding out for the new ball, which wont help them too much as they are pooped

Travis head is a very talented player. He has a hit and giggle temperament though which has stopped him from being a prolific run scorer for Australia

It's just laugh out loud funny. They're getting smashed by injuries. Losing wickets to no balls, dropping sitters, now even their leader Joe Root not doing the absolute basics in backing up. Letting our mediocre batting order be enough to bat them out of the game

If he just left half the balls he slashes at, especially early, he'd probably average 50.

Their best two quicks couldn't play the game. Then two more are completely cooked. Meanwhile Leach who is totally fit is the worst of the lot.

The umps calling two no balls is worse than calling none. Especially when worse no balls haven't been called. They're proving they are not doing a fundamental part of their job by choice.
