Tbf I’m more inclined to call Bumrah out than Murali. Muralis elbow was bent the whole way through his action rather than extending (which is what the rules specify). Bumrahs is hyperextension, and even though you can’t control that, I am sceptical that it’s under the allowed degrees of...

Mate if he was actually chucking it wouldn’t you think it’d be pretty quickly brought up and banned considering all the technology and scrutiny that illegal actions rightfully get. I’m by no means a Bumrah fan but there is no doubt he is legitimately a very good bowler. With all due respect...

Khawaja and McSweeney are both perfectly fine one day players in their own rights. If they wanted it they could definitely take the attack to him. Can’t say much for how well it’ll go but I think they’re capable of it.

Marnus should be dropped im just saying he won’t be dropped.

Also Bumrah is a freak of a bowler. I think a lot of his success this test is from bowling with a dead straight seam. I think our bowlers are way too reliant on the wobble seam and proved to be a little bit shit on this pitch. Hazlewood was the best, but he often bowls with a straight seam...

Also I can guarantee you no one is getting dropped after this match. The only person that would possibly be dropped is McSweeney and frankly he got out to 2 very good balls. The first one seamed in a mile and was unlucky to not be hit outside the line. The second one kept low.

Smiths dismissal was awful. In a vacuum it’s horrible, when you consider he’s been getting out like that for at least a year it’s even worse. He was an incredible batsman in his prime but he’s gone. We really need some top order batsmen to come through the ranks soon. We have Green at 4 when...

Sounds like there was still plenty of play and misses but it has definitely calmed down from what it was doing yesterday.

I got to say I’m glad I went fishing all day instead of watching this on the TV. Soul crushing stuff.

Yes, well I watched it on the app so it should be on the website too.

Yeah I watched the setup that CA posted as a video (really appreciate when they do stuff like that). Very good bowling.

A bit of a brute to get him out too.

I honestly think that’s one of the best sessions I’ve seen us bowl for a bit. Especially the opening spell between Starc and Hazlewood. We’ve taken more wickets before but I think we just looked clinical so far. KL Rahul was looking impressive and leaving the ball very well so I’m glad we got...

You know when streams have that little info banner in a corner of the screen with 2 players on it and something like “Match starts in 15 minutes”. Something that’s really annoyed me is Fox had Cummins and Kohli on it instead of Cummins and Bumrah. It probably gets more engagement to have Kohli...

Yeah he’s had a pretty average run. He made a 90 in our last test match over in New Zealand though. Hopefully he’s turned things around.

India aren’t playing Ashwin or Jadeja and have instead decided to debut Nitish Reddy and Harshit Rana They don’t learn do they, you need a spinner in Aus

The pitch will presumably be pretty green and Pat hasn’t shied away from bowling first. Although pitches here tend to harden and get very quick by day 2 so that’s the only question mark for bowling first. Potentially a good toss to lose tbh.

I would rather we bring in Morris as a strike bowler. Having a left armer is very good but I honestly think it’s still overrated. I’d rather bring in a bowler that we know is good in test matches than bring in someone that’s done well in the T20 side. I’d rather we bring in Joel Paris, who is...

The problem is there is no way he jumps in front of Boland, Neser and Morris AT LEAST by taking a T20 5-for.
