Smart from England....our tail bat ok vs the pacemen, Starc, Siddle, Pattinson are no mugs vs pace but had no idea vs Swann, wonder what Lyon is thinking as Swann is really turning them and on the second day...going to be a bitch to bat against him in the 2dn innings.
Hughes showing some character and maybe he can do a Mike Hussey and hold down the No 6 spot.....still remain unconvinced about Smith., still has a bit of a slogger approach and while he is hitting them he looks ok but always looks likely to get out next ball.
Hoping Agar can get some turn when he bowls and get a few wickets...

Smith is a 20/20 player only, his technique and temperament suits that form of the game, not a Test cricketer at all.

Agar should farm the strike from Hughes to keep him away from the bowling. He's my new cricketing hero, talk about showing up the more recognised team-mates.

Australian second innings, Agar to open & Watson to bat at 11.

Forget about hiring a new coach, get a chiropractor in there to see if any of these players have a backbone !!!

Do any of them actually warrant playing Test cricket and where do they get there decision-making prowess from ??

In 25-mins of cricket, we have been exposed as not having the ability nor temperament to play at this level. The only person showing any consistent form is the guy opening & closing the gate for the incoming & outgoing batsmen.

Saying it is "embarrassing" is being way too kind.

The Australian test team is now relying on Phil Hughes to save them, the same man that couldn't put away the bowlers from my local suburban club.

How bad is Australian cricket if we have to rely on Hughes & Smith to save us from embarrassment on Day 2. of the First Test ??

Bowling was wayward but took wickets, batting is brittle and undermanned.
