"And how would you explain the rain today in Melbourne Warnie?"

"That's not rain. The humidity is just at 140%. We could have had half a million at the MCG over the course of this test. Drop Mitchell Starc."

Have no interest in betting, but they generally have clever fkers in their social media.

What's the best pizza in Hobart? Warney needs talking points.

I think Khawaja moving up the order makes sense. There are 2 spots and Harris is the weakest link.

I don't quite understand why there was talk of 'you can't drop Travis Head, even if it means dropping Khawaja' (especially when he's coming back from COVID.

I also struggle to see him as a future captain, especially now that Cummins is on the scene. He's the same age as Head and while obviously batsmen might have a longer career than quicks, surely he's missed the boat on that?

I thought Boon had COVID?

England to bowl, winning the toss

Love the history of the baggy green but they look pretty dicky on a full grown man.

And I'm sure they don't offer much protection from the sun.

Must have some leadership credentials but he will need a lot more runs before he is a real consideration. He really hasn't locked down a role in the team yet. Only Warner, Smith and Labuschagne are safe in that batting order.

Had to laugh when I saw in the news bar on ch7 "toss delayed due to rain."
Have they heard of umbrellas or like I dunno doing the toss indoors?
In case nobody knows the pitch is grassier than a Greek's taint which has had the #2 clippers ran through it.

Katich looks like an extra from the walking dead.

It’s normally safer to toss indoors as well.

Yeah, he did, I think around the time of the Adelaide test?

Mel holds that mic like an Eagle holds it's prey.

Have not seen Channel 7 all series, but based on feedback from others - I can only guess Matt Hayden's arrival at the ground had been delayed.

I was thinking that last test, a very pale man .
