Smith hates batting at 3, he should, but that's his coward streak.

I think the ground in Canberra looks fantastic. It's a proper cricket ground and not a stadium.

However with the drop to only five tests a summer from next season I wonder how many more tests it will see.

How CA agreed to 5 tests a summer is utterly shameful.

There was an opportunity to get to 7 some summers... 4/3 combos.

There are a few veterans playing county cricket next summer. I know Ferguson has signed a full-season deal with Worcestershire.

If one of them fills their boots on English decks then I'd put them in for sure.

Oozies brother in the news hasn't helped, which cant help his mental game

Renshaw tried that, scored mountains - gets exiled.

Patterson is a 3 anyway.

 

[lockyno1]

We should have played Pukovski anyway over Khawaja and given him a rest

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I was a huge fan of Khawaja but he can get f**ked

 

[lockyno1]

Yep, but he's the only twat getting some runs on the board (exception of today)

Bancroft or Renshaw please

 

[TheParraboy]

Clarke, S Waugh, Border and G Chappell weren't 3s.

Kohli doesn't bat 3.

How is it cowardice?

 

[TheParraboy]

Burns will bat out the innings and be 25no

 

[hineyrulz]

Lol we are so so so so so so so so so so bad.

 

[Pete Cash]

With the way the lads are playing the Sri Lankan swing bowlers the difference 3 and 4 in England will be like 3 balls tops

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Omg, kill us with fire

 

[Mr. Shaman]

Clarke, S Waugh, Border and G Chappell weren't 3s.

Kohli doesn't bat 3.

How is it cowardice?

Best batsmen in the world, surrounded by nothing but potatoes since Pup retired.


Haha f**k 3 down, end yourselves.

 

[Bazal]

A couple of ordinary shots so far, but shows the value of ball movement over raw pace.

 

[bazza]

Clarke, S Waugh, Border and G Chappell weren't 3s.

Kohli doesn't bat 3.

How is it cowardice?

Best strokemaker at 4 is the general rule
#3 should be a regular #3 or opener

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I just heard we won toss.

In these conditions.

So how wouldn't Starc, Jhye and Cummins not rape this SL line up FFS.

 

[Matt23]

We can't bat on roads
