Hell of a catch!

Great pressure take by Lyon.

Lead now 170 with one wicket left. This has been a cracker of a game.

Best Test match in a while.
Been said 100 times over the last few days but it's great having a proper contest between bat and ball, just the way test matches should be.

MMarsh has 3 massive wickets.

He deserved that has kept it nice and tight today. Hopefully the selectors are watching Siddle being totally ineffective this innings.

Shittle out, Pattinson in for the Windies surely?

With Starc out Shittle will keep his place.

 

[Ibleedblue]

Starc is out for the rest of the summer but will return for the tour of New Zealand.

 

[hineyrulz]

Burns is woeful in the field.

 

[Bazal]

Surely against the Windies we can give someone with a potential future a go? f**k Siddle's eyes....

I'd like to see Berendorff get a crack, we've lost two lefties he's the next best. Windies always struggle again left handed bowlers and a bloke with something to offer gets a run.

 

[Hutty1986]

Need Warner and Smith to step up with the bat. Absolutely crucial our top order performs. Going to be a bloody tough chase here.

 

[hineyrulz]

Boult ugly but effective lol

 

[chigurh]

Apparently Pattinson was close to playing this match for Pattinson, so there can't be any issues about his fitness.

Straight in for Siddle next match, surey

 

[hineyrulz]

Lol Brayshaw loves a big boy.

Warner nearly takes a screamer.

 

[Didgi]

Big Dougie Bracewell is a big unit.

How about those long levers.

 

[Rod]

Bloody hell Boult has such a good head on his shoulders when he's bowling why does he bat like a lunatic.

Yep, Behrendorff would be the go for me. Pattinson in for Siddle, Behrendorff in for Starc.

But honestly, any merkin will do who isn't Siddle. Jackson Bird, James Faulkner, Sean Abbott, Gurinder Sandhu, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Behrendorff...all of them will likely figure in a Test match or two at some point in future, even as a sixth choice if injuries demand so why not throw them in against a weaker side? Beats a bloke in his thirties who has never really done much with the ball and now bowls with all the pace of a fourth grader anyway

 

[Twatface Magee]

Give someone like Jason Behrendorff a shot.
Edit: Beat me to it hineyrulz.


I've always thought Andrew Tye is an underrated bowler too. Wouldn't mind seeing him do some work around the top squad.

 

[undertaker]

NZ all out. Well done Hazlewood. Without him, Australia would be screwed since Starc went off the field.

Australia need 187, of which most of those runs will need to be scored during this 2nd session before the ball starts behaving erratic in the night session

 

[hineyrulz]

Well done Haze, best test figures.

Bracewell should be pissed. Was seeing them well just needed Boult to stay with him. Might cost them 20 runs or so.
