Warner was just slow on that, a real sign he is not at the standard anymore. All that strapping on his hands, how could you grip the ball?

Yep, you're already behind the game Warner.  Rent is due champ.

Marsh is making every match count. Excellent delivery from Pat Cummins as well - big wicket!

Yep, not a Marsh fan but his bowling was excellent and dots cause pressure.  Then Cummins found the length, ball is clearly jumping from back of a length.  Field has been better too.

Arrogant batting to be running at bowlers on a pitch doing a bit

Take Starc off Pat, save your captaincy.The blokes injured, so why pick him?

You've got some explaining to do MacDonald.  I wonder about the competence of the people around the team.

And just like that, Starc produces one (and Stokes plays around it).

Yea and goes to take four and recover the day - gees he's an all or nothing type, like going all in at blackjack.  Spectacular in success and disaster

That’s what you get with Starc.  He’s our best quick bowler by far … when he’s on.

He leaves a hole in our attack when he’s off.

Warner got a start …

This should be his last test.  It’s time to move on.

The trouble I have with Starc is he's on when it's downhill running, like when the pill is hooping or when the tail is at the crease.

Far far too often he gives the top order a massive kick start!

Yesterday, Starc and Hazelwood looked like pie throwers, then Cummins had a trundle and for the first couple of overs didn't look any better before all of a sudden clicking and it was the Cummins of old. He put the wind up the batsmen and Hazelwood and Marsh also benefitted by bowling tight at the other end. If it had been Starc I fear he would have let the batsmen off the hook and wasted Cummins efforts!

Still reckon he will get his goodbye glory test in Sydney vs Pakistan?,where he can bully a century vs substandard opposition and go out a hero. He was never going to make runs in England this tour as its been a graveyard for him in the past but the mates club ,weak coaching setup and unofficial chairwoman of selectors in Mrs Warner got him on the plane after bleating his case in the media. I like how he has also picked Matt Renshaw to succeed him, Victorian Marcus Harris is the incumbent backup opener but obviously he isnt drinking at the same watering hole as Warner and friends and doesnt qualify as part of the mates club.

I think Warner should have been done last test.

I also suspect you'll find a next generation of players who might be about to march right past the likes of Renshaw and Harris, some of course playing the back lots of NSW cricket, as usual!

Been a bit of love for Renshaw of late, Ian Chappell has pushed up for him too....Warner did mention Hunt(SA) and Street(Qld) as well.

Good effort from the tail. Pity more of the top order bats can't show the same intelligence.
Live Long and Prosper!
