Very poor selection of strokes. A local under 12’s side would have made more on this pitch. Are these players professional and paid to bat? Wouldn’t think so by the display today. Lucky to even get close to 200. I thought they might not get a total of 100 at one stage. They can only hope the bowling isn’t as weak as the batting display.

To quote Black Adder, "... is like Christmas Cracker. One disappointing bang and the novelty soon wears off."

How come the Indians are allowed to meander along at 11 overs an hour?

Barely much more with two spinners bowling!

**** off back to Queensland and take your mates in the selection panel with you Joe.

And burns a review needlessly. God help us with these F tards supposedly calling themselves batsmen. Burm's forward defence has more technical flaws than a bad legal argument. Why keep picking him Why !?!

Assuming the selectors pick the team on form and technique and not because of state of origin, friendship groups, unrealised potential and any other irrelevant criteria they may dream up.

I would hope that's the last we see of him, horribly out of form.

And "*ick" Head and join him.

Other than crap fielding and comic relief I don't know what he brings because he isn't a batsman a-hole.

Smith also appears to have got ahead of himself this summer.

Bumrah's back of the hand in swinging variation ball is a chuck.

I think the trouble is under Langer's guidance test spots are welded on!

A work associate was talking to a Sri Lankan cricketer a few weeks back, in town on domestic cricket contract. He mentioned the rest of the world are astounded Maxwell isn't playing Test cricket, guys like Maxwell only play one good innings in three but it's a match winner. Instead we have guys welded into the test squad failing match after match after match and getting another run because they are mates with some members of the squad!

I didn't realise being someone's best mate mattered!
