Let them off the hook again.

The problem with 3 spinners is unless you've got two or three very different spinners, they become easier and easier to pick.

Especially when none of them spin the ball. And when SOK has been banned from most things involving cricket since he got home from India. Plus Cartwright is a part timer and easy to target, which releases plenty of pressure when you inevitably have to rely on him for a spell.

At least quicks hit the pitch and can create variations that way.

New ball. Desperately need something.

Sounds like Cummins is doing it tough in the heat. Who could ever have imagined that the sole quick might struggle in 32 degrees and 80% humidity....

3 part timers masquerading as allrounders. A hack of a keeper.

Is CA trying to even up the ashes contest?

Hahaha what a geniused way to get the breakthrough....that's out surely

Needed some luck. And the greatest piece of luck was dick fingers catching the ball.

I'm seriously surprised the poor guy is still standing let alone running into bowl. He looks majorly gassed (and injured just quietly, he is massively favouring his right side when walking back to his mark).

Leg side stumping from Wade. Spotting the Loch Ness monster seemed more likely. Credit to the cross eyed mong, a nice memory for hopefully his last Test Match.

It's hard to say.

Having seriously struggled through a few near 40 degree days of cricket, often just the exhaustion and the general soreness make you walk like a 90 pear old man. Hopefully that's what it is and he's not injured, the selectors should be lined up and shot if he is, they will be 100% responsible.

How witty is Wade?

When he came back into the side, he treated us all to "NICE, Garry!"
In India, he debuted a new classic with "NICE, Sokky!"

Now, in Bangladesh, this genius talker has wowed us all with the simply wonderful "NICE, Aggy!"

And people wonder why he's in the side ffs

He's going to get ten more tests off that stumping.

Maxwell's dropped catch cost us dearly, he was asleep in slips with hands on knees when the ball was edged and it really was a sitter at an easy height.

Surprised we picked 3 spinners on a pitch that has no spin.
