There is no valid short-term reason why Green keeps getting a game ahead of Webster, I'm not interested in a debate just posting an observation.

Webster has done nothing wrong at every opportunity and struggles to get a game, Green has done little right and can't be dropped.

I'm assuming Boland has some injury or issue because he's bowled well but got just a couple of overs before they brought Green on and Nesser back.

Smith's a great batsmen but tactically he's a dud captain, he's lucky he's captained in an era through which we have dominant individuals including himself.

I don't know who to blame for the lack of a front line spinner, but regardless of the game outcome it's biting them on the ar5e at the moment. They have taken their foot of the throat of England, did they do this for the good of test cricket or through stupidity?

Interesting that Taco informed the oil companies of the attack but didn’t bother with Congress.

Kings don't need to consult jesters. ;D

I think that you've got the Turkish proverb arse-about Shane.  It's "When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king; the palace becomes a circus."  ;D

A pity Khawaja made so little of his last innings: he pottered around like an old chook when the conditions required something more positive.
Granted that he isn't Travis Head, but his total lack of attacking really lost us momentum.

That's been my knock on Khawaja; with a couple of exceptions, his recent innings have been dreadfully slow and he doesn't turn the strike over.  It's as if not getting out is more important than contributing to the team's total.
