so you've watched about 3 overs of this test match and made that observation, congratulations, you must be very pleased with that

Haze bowls at 140+ generally and that was with the old ball so he was just rolling his arm over waiting for the new ball, just so you know next time

lol Haze is still bowling 130 with the new ball

gee Starc has been unlucky today, 2 dropped catches ands a few plays and misses and a decent inside edge

he's about the only one who's looked like taking a wicket

Siddle used to be quite sharp but on his veg diet he now looks like an aids victim

Close call on Kohli there

and as usual, spinning from the off, if he ever bowls with any variation like he could have there, he would have got a wicket LBW

you have to wonder what he is thinking when he bowls, or if he is thinking at all

don't know why, I've seen him bowl just under 150 ks

doesn't make sense

I like Hazelwood,very good bowler,just found it funny he was bowling the same pace as Siddle when Siddle got sacked for being slow,im not bagging Siddle or Hazlewood,high levels of irony make for delicious comedy for the Haynetrain.

I feel that his thinking is that the offies have been good enough to get him 100+ wickets and justify his place in the team. Whereas if he took some risks and tried some new things he could be closer to 200 wickets, but may go for more runs while trying to perfect his technique and in turn lose his spot. May be totally wrong but thats how it looks to me

Kohli has been pretty damn good.

Pitch giving nothing for bowlers, and harris looks a bit tired today. So does Hazlewood tbh, although he's still very accurate, but without that bit of extra bounce he's not been too effective.

Starcs been a bit better than usual, though still a bit all over the place.

I don't subscribe to the only Aussies can be arrogant sledgers brigade.

Well played Kohli, and a what a great series for him so far.

Now lets get the guy out!!

Josh Hazlepie is looking decidedly military medium on this pitch.

The curator must go after this abomination.

He's still better then all the other nuffies that have been given games Beer, McGain ect

SOK is the obvious exception but nothing to do with playing ability

For sure, the fact there is no one putting pressure on his spot could add to his lack of evolution/growth. Still a decent player

Looked good on first view but the height seemed an issue because of where it hit him. I didn't think the umpire was going to give it based on their decisions this series.
