This test is gone .
Need rain.

Without wishing to put the mockers on him, young Rogers is doing OK. Hopefully, he will go on and turn this 50 into a ton.
Smith got tangled up after looking OK.
A couple of the commentators are suggesting that Siddle should have played. They are also hoping to see Pattinson in action. It will be hard to drop Starc after his five for and Johnson looks rusted on to his spot.

Poor shots from Smith, Clarke & Voges, gave their wickets away. Smith & Clarke obviously trying to target Ali (which is a good move.....if they really put pressure on his bowling, can the Poms afford to play him as a specialist # 8 ?), but they just gifted him two wickets instead !
And yes....for the life of me, on a ground this size why the heck would you have Johnson 3/4 the way to the boundary ?......with these bats anything even half hit will carry over his head.
Watson & Haddin, your turn now. Need another 150.

Giving away wickets is always a sin, but especially on the flat pitch.

Thanks DJC !!
Rogers aside, a pretty poor performance by us, Watson, Haddin, Johnson to try and save us.

At least he scored another 45 runs.
It was a pretty poor performance by the ather batsmen.

Why does Watson continue to get a game? Getting the feeling some if these guys have played a series too many....

Watson, Haddin - should have been pushed some time ago......too much of a boys club is CA - sounds a lot lke CFC!
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 07-10-2015
An allrounder is supposed to be able to bat and bowl.... Competitively.
