Score update?

I'm assuming our batting has collapsed as usual. I went to be at lunch when we lost our first wicket because that is always the start of the collapse.

Also, considering we had them 3 for SFA, we let them get far too many runs.

it's diabolical really. i reckon our batting is actually worse than the 80's low times.

don't know what the fix is - even clarke is struggling.

I walked into a pub last night in Newtown after midnight and thought I
was tripping when I saw the score.

Really unfortunate had a really good opportunity to win this test, of the back off their first innings, need a dominant batsmen, this team has no-one, compared to our teams 8 years ago it's straight up depressing.

Least i am a sharks supporter so i am used to this garbage from my teams (Blues, Sharks, Cleveland browns and now the f**king cricket team.... cursed)

Kattich and Hussey used to save us in those situations. Genuine fighters that value their wicket above everything else. They know you can build pressure as a batsman by being very circumspect and waiting for the bowling to falter late in spells when the bowlers get frustrated and try that bit too much. Then the runs flow for a while. The current crop would rather get out and look good than graft away ugly and win. Boof will sort it out in time for summer. We're razzed this tour but will be so much better in Oz later on. Suspect a few players are enjoying their last tilt in the baggy. Boof is stuck with who he has over there.

Media drove hussey out of the game.

He wanted to retire on his own terms, not hounded by the media every other day .

We need him atm

At least I follow Manchester City!

Cricket team don't have the cattle. But team spirit is non existent. Will improve under Boof and getting rid of Watson will help. Not difficult to justify changes when nearly all under perform. I would be wary of playing Warner too. Another one day show pony. Whatever team is picked they should be able to last 5 days from time to time. Credit to Siddle , who would have struggled to crack a spot a few years back.

Siddle has been a brightspot... shows heart, can see us improving in that department but not in time to save the series unfortunatly...

You are right we really are missing that old-heAd in the middle and Watson is a hack
