The batsmen have tried to grind and just bat,  hopefully somebody can cash in late in the day and put some scoreboard pressure back on this mob.

Paine's batting - on a par with Marsh?

He has a woeful technique, nice bloke but not test level.....I guess a chop on from him is better than his usual straddle the crease and get plumb LBW hitting across the line....
Head isnt that gifted but at least seems able to graft and from a bloke with a limited overs background initially he does put some value on his wicket....
Hopefully we can get a small lead and out them under pressure, batting last wont be easy, Ashwin is a skilled operator...

Sean Marsh is a perennial tease, one good knock in six and he seems to survive to the next test series, he needs dropping for good.........I prefer Carey to Paine but the latter is the skipper and in charge of making Aus cricket pure and silky clean again so will keep his spot.

Paine's glove work is top notch and his results to date haven't matched his ability with the bat.  His numbers are OK but a big score would prove his capabilities. They won't drop him but i wonder he will continue after this summer.

Carey is clearly the anointed one and deservedly so.

Agree Head at least puts a price on his own head..... :)

The rest (Khawaja probably got some family issues in his mind) are a joke... the lack of basic discipline is extraordinary - is the batting coach still Hick?

Shoot him and move on....

Damian Martyn lost a big chunk of his career as a result of a shot far less deplorable than any of these current clowns.....

too much money, too little responsibility these days.

Our rugby union team reeks of the same issues.....

It’s something I have noticed from all players with the bat from both sides. How hard is it to leave a ball outside the off stump that isn’t there to be hit?
This digital world is too much for us insects to understand.

So far it's the bad Starc.

We all know he only needs to get one or two on line to get a result, but getting one or two on line would be a bonus at the moment!

Starc doesn't come up after a solid first innings hit out and quite frankly, he's been below par for some time. I know it won't be popular but he needs a kick up the backside.   I'd drop him,  he's not pulling his weight.

I reckon he's also carrying something, and doesn't appear to be the kind who is effective less than 100 percent fit.
