Shaun Marsh - a ton.

Hazlewood has bowled a number of balls mid 140s and bowls the best bouncer of all of them.
Starc needs to pull his finger out. More natural talent than all of them but just lumbers in half the time.
Starc is quite possibly dumber than Mitchell Johnson
Two captains have made terrible decisions.
I love smith but that decision will haunt him forever if we lose this test.
Hopefully he made the decision, if not he should resign

I agree with most, but as much as I am a critique of Smith's captaincy I can't blame him for that decision not to enforce the follow on. 8 out of 10 captains would have immediately done the same thing, and the other two are lying.

The "Starc Condition" as some of my associates refer to it is a massive problem. The difference between "The Good Starc" and "The Other Starc" is enormous, and we see the effect it has on the bowlers at the other end. Hazlewood struggles when Starc is off because the pressure is released, when the pressure is maintained at the other end Hazlewood is possibly our best bowler, but when the batsmen start to free up Hazlewood is the easiest to get hold off.

Last night as I watched the final sessions the commentators waffled on for hours about the lack of movement, whether the ball was a good or bad one, if the temperature was too hot or too cold, if the wind was blowing too strong or from the wrong direction, how the humidity had changed, wah, wah, wah. But anyone who has played cricket could tell the ball was leaving the hands of the Aussie pacemen with the seam heavily scrambled. It was just shi1te bowling compared to the England bowlers earlier in the day, with Anderson bowling the seam left his hand like it was a Frisbee!

Don't blame the ball you spuds, get the basics right!
