Cummins gets the blame for this debacle and rightly so. But what about Mcdonald and the selectors?

They picked a side with only 3 specialist bowlers. They picked 2 batsmen who can bowl a few overs, they needed to be brutal and either pick Green the incumbent or Marsh, not both. Marsh scored a great hundred but that doesn't guarantee a spot in the next team if the bloke you replaced is fit. But then they love Marsh because he's a good bloke.

Then there's the continued selection of a cooked Warner. That 200 on a road against a disinterested South Africa should have been his test farewell.

Cummins field placements are being guided by the coach. The coach needs to cop the blame but he's had no scrutiny on him.

Good to get Root, but the way we got him doesn’t bode well since we’re now well behind in the game.

How about you tell your hero Paddy that?? They picked a negative and safe side from ball one only trying to draw the test. They are getting what they deserve. A gutless team with zero clue tactically coached by a Mong who belongs in park cricket. Langer was a passive aggressive crazy person with small man syndrome but But Ronny MongDonald is making him look better by the day.

We need to draw level before losing our first wicket if we’re gonna win this. Unfortunately that means our bald donkey openers need to not be bald donkeys. If not, and it makes me f**king sick to say, we need to just bat into day 4 and force a draw, particularly if Starc can’t bowl.
