I feel like playing a Shane Warne bingo drinking game tomorrow.

Already today we've had the Baggy Green, Daryl Cullinan, a random personal grudge out of nowhere, and I'm sure I've missed a bunch

My hopes that Fox would read him the riot-act pre-summer have been dashed.

Just gotta wrap up the tail and end the day at 0/20 or something it will have been a great day.
Pujara the new barnacle that won't go away. Credit to him though, he kept his head while the rest lost theirs.

I flicked it from Fox because Warne was giving me the squirts and that f**ktard Brayshaw was on.

FFS!!

Only downside to a top effort in the field by our blokes so far today is trying to choose between Warnie, Brayshaw and watching Copes do his best to try and fill the role of the obligatory touch screen expert.

I know, where’s the tennis when you need it.

Can’t believe I’m saying it - but I’ve stuck on Seven when they’ve overlapped. Brayshaw is a clown, but I just cannot f**king handle the Shane ‘who do I have a grudge against now’ Warne show.

Just wait until someone brings up Steve Waugh on the Fox commentary while Warnie is on the air

Paine letting the game slip a little here. Letting them get to many easy singles.

Wouldn't mind, if Lyon doesn't snag a wicket in the next maybe over or two, just having a double burst from two fresh quicks in Haze and Cummins. Just change it up, they look reasonably settled against Lyon. Especially with this leg stump plan.

Agreed, Cummins back on. Just need to jag another quick one the new ball shouldn’t matter when have them 6 down with so long to a new ball.

Might even be worth having a short cover. Especially to Pujara who has driven nothing straight, pull one of the straight fielders into the off side catching in front of the wicket. With the line they're bowling having no one at cover gives an easier way to work a single than maybe asking them to manufacture one across the line to mid-on

Now the field is spread for Ashwin, the number 8.

Paine goes negative far too quickly for mine.

I hate this f**king leg stump line when we are on top, f**king hate it.

He should be trying to make them play against the turn...not so much for the turn, but for the bounce. Get them trying to drive through cover or point. Maybe it bounces and you get the top edge. Maybe it spins or stays low and you bring inside edges onto the pad or the stumps into play.

Leg stump you're really just looking for someone to bonk it straight to short leg.
