Harris should be bowling. He's the best we have
Harris looked shot today, sadly. He had a couple of strong overs, one where he peppered Sharma then next over Darsh dropped that catch. Otherwise he looked down on pace and just wasn't bowling that well.
2-0 is such a poor reflection of the series. Zero killer instinct from this aussie side unfortunately
Wow, a side missing their captain and a strike bowler and with a few guys very early on in their test careers doesn't manage to get the job done. Better slit our wrists.
Some of the catching was certainly diabolical. I like Burns, i just hope he fields places that arent short leg in future. Haddin fluffed chances, ditto Watson, even Smith who is usually a sure thing. Maybe just one of those tests but that really was not good enough.
Otherwise though there were twin half centuries for a bloke in his second test, more runs for Smith, and some decent bowling spells from our quicks.
Hazlewood was outstanding today, although the spell he got his second wicket he did look to be waning a little. He was really impressive though, on a pitch that didn't suit. Should've got Murali plumb LBW and was generally all over the batsmen.
Starc also put in a couple of good spells with the old ball but was then terrible with the new ball. I'm far from a fan of him but he gave a glimpse, at least, of why he is rated.
Learning curve for Smith as well. Thought we were too defensive in the middle of the day. There was a 15-20 over period where Watson, Starc and Hazlewood primarily were bowling and getting a bit of reverse swing, bowling very well, but the fields were just not attacking enough to put doubt in the batsmens mind. He'll be better for it.
