Not really

Right handed.

Harris has issues outside off.
Gets out wafting.

Line ball decision I reckon

Not sure what he did to get back in the team, footwork is very average....dismissal was very soft to Ali, that was a gift to England.

That dismissal to Ali stamped his papers.  Not good enough.

Want a right hander pick Burns.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

well how's that for a turnaround.

Centuries to Smith and Wade, good digs from Head, Paine, Patto etc etc

Declaring at 7/470 odd.

Poms need 350+ to win on a turning wicket (0/10 odd at stumps).
Finals, then 4 in a row!

It was far more than odd fly .... it was bloody stupid.  Should have just blasted whatever we could muster.

It’s time rather than runs ... and an opportunity to knock over an opener before stumps.  Giving the new ball to Siddle was odd!

Thinking it was a light issue. We opened with Siddle and Lyon. Probably why we batted so long.

Another pretty cameo from Khawaja when a more extended dig was required.  Disappointing.

Warner was a bit stiff in the 2nd dig. Withdrew his bat and caught the edge. Always unlucky. Bancroft's dismissal was ordinary.

i meant odd to mean roughly, rather than strange!  ;D
