Lord Sir Baz is not in charge of this series, doesn't take over until January. Marcus Trescothick is acting coach in this series.

13th consecutive win in this format for Australia.
What a Softcock.

If you want to be the best you have to beat the best

Hardie and Dwarshius bowled well, and also Zampa, as usual. Would like to see him in a test match, his record is excellent.

Head 154 off 129, what can you say, he is in some red hot form. We'd be f**ked in the WC if he got injured.

Dwarshius injured with a pec injury (never would have happened with Stoinis) so could only bowl 4 overs.

That's why my mate the great Labuschagne had to turn over his golden arm.

Since the 21-22 Ashes Trav has been immense in all 3 forms of the game, are we sleeping on him as one of our greats? Feel like the guy doesn’t get his dues.

Had Paine played said Ashes before retiring I wonder if Head would have been made the Aus Captain. His spot in the side was debatable before the start of that series but since then he’s one of the first names on the team sheet. That said Patty has done an admiral job.

All happening for Head post JL era

Gives me hope we might see Moses win premierships post BA era....

Lucky it's not about winning.


"After the match, Brook suggested he was "not too fussed" about the nature of England's dismissals, but former England captain Sir Alastair Cook believes the Yorkshire batter "might cringe" at such comments in future.

"We are out there to score runs," said Brook. "If you get caught somewhere on the boundary or in the field then who cares?

"On another day that could go for six so I'm not too fussed about that.

"Obviously it was grabbing in the pitch but another day we hit them for six. They hit a few in the air and they landed safely so a little bit unlucky.

"We want to entertain like I have said a few times. Obviously we care but if you get out trying to score runs that's the way we want to play."
