Where Warner got it right last Test he just played straight down the line and if it swung he missed it. Went back to being hesitant last night and nicked it.
Warner's looking lost against Broad. Doesn't know whether to play or leave. His 61 last Test saved him and the only way he'll play the next Test is if he has a good 2nd innings. Right now prefer a Khawaja 20 than a Warner duck.
To be fair he Warner did average 46 with 5 half centuries on the last tour to England but he is right out of form now.
Oh, I see that - just and admittedly I an no Warner fan.
They have all been terrible really, Smith aside.
Dangerfield will probably torch us but his ball use and field kicking is horrible. Could have iced last weeks game but missed from 35, which happens more than occasionally. He does so much right but gees he gets away with some schizenhausen play at times because of who he is.
Get ready for him to gob off and whinge all day to the umpires - we're going to get deadest raped in this game.
Until Geelong come knocking on Sam's door once Ablett, Selwood and Dangerfield have cashed in their chips.....
I think BB stopped listening to his assistants.
Cummins will be rested for the next test I reckon. Batting lineup will stay the same
Khawaa, Bancroft, Waner. Heck, Wade bar one innings has been schizen.
The catch - unfathomable that a third umpire would give that out....
How much longer must we have to tolerate Khawaja.
Labuschagne ... great knock. Root, you're a lying cheat
It was great to get out of that with a win, particularly with an undermanned defence. Levi was excellent (and Teague clearly wants him as a forward option in 2020), Plowman was undersized but stood up well and Newman, Thomas, Setterfield, Samo and Simmo were all instrumental in denying St Kilda.
I was pleased with Dow and O'Brien. Both showed poise and commitment and I think that they will continue to develop and improve and have big seasons next year.
I’m starting to realise that Smith is a rare talent. Perhaps he will achieve greater levels without the burden of the captaincy.
Jones is out...Is Weitering too?
Or did you mean Jones?
Yep, this'll be a tricky one for DT to negotiate.
Only human to relax 1/2 a % with the surety of what happened this week... likewise the players. It will take terrific discipline to get the players and coaches 100+% focussed.
A significant test for DT and others. And the Aints will be very aware of all this and will no doubt hit hard from the get go.
I'm not going to dispute Warner's averages, but there is a bit of a key difference given Roy has only four innings;
