Just checked the scorecard and. apart from the slow over rates by both teams, the run rates are interesting:  The Bazballers managed 4.37 runs per over and we're sitting on 5.17.  There's not that much in it but it is significant when you consider the Pom's batting philosophy and their allegedly better bowling attack.

The Wiz is Jeff Farmer.  It’s a travesty to use that label for the Hawthorn bloke.

Last session from Oz stank, awful captaincy, over bowled Starc and Boland (bowling rubbish ATM) and stalled all day with woeful over rates.  Felt English effort average - wickets given away with windy drives and Stokes bbq'ed.  They will end up a bit short I reckon.

A bit of mutual admiration from probably the two best left arm quicks to have played Test cricket:

Starc declined to call himself the GOAT of left-arm pace, saying Wasim Akram was "still a far better bowler than I am."

While Akram tweeted, "Super Starc! Proud of you, mate. Your incredible hard work sets you apart, and it was only a matter of time before you crossed my tally of wickets . I am pleased to give this to you! Go well, and keep soaring to new heights in your stellar career."
