FFS a number of our players have no grit or fight to them.

Does Australia enforce the follow on if it gets to that?

They have to with the weather, surely.

This will be embarrassing if we lose a test that only had three days

Not customary of late to enforce the follow on but the weather forecast will most likely be in the conversation for Cummins

It is embarrassing to have the Australian commentators have to sit an listen to Scotty Stevenson.

And this Martin sheila

At least Katie Martin knows what she's talking about.

And try and be diplomatic about NZs chances

Really. Have a good listen

I have been. I watch most games.

Scott Stevenson is an absolute embarrassment. He has no feel for the game at all.

She commented earlier about this quartet of Aussie bowlers being their best ever according to stats. I would argue this point is mainly due to the number of tests played now and back in the days before her time

I'll take Martin and Stevenson any day over the Sky league commentary team

Sucker for punishment lol

Strange comparison.

Strange comparison.

Macca makes sense as does BJ.
Much prefer Smithy and skull. No comparison there

Who wouldn't want to hear Daryl Halligan pronounce Labuschagne?

 

[John Nick]

This wicket appears to flatten out in the afternoon sessions
Was flying around this morning

Who wouldn't want to hear Daryl Halligan pronounce Labuschagne?

Not quite what I meant.

Very reckless dismissals from Ravindra, Kuggeleijn and Phillips today. Kuggeleijn is a better batsman than that. To launch in the second ball like he did was too much of a T20 mindset. As was Ravindras.

On my favourite subject of Southee wicket watch - another 0 for, in Southee friendly conditions. He was unlucky and also applied pressure for Henry to capitalise on, but he is still not contributing enough.

Should he be first or second change now or would that negate his one strength being predominantly a swing bowler
