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
As far as the follow-on went, bowlers are tired, injury prone, it's a 5 Tests series so you don't want to kill them. Never would've been fresh enough to do what England did. If they got 400 because our bowlers were tired then we'd have an unnecessary tricky chase. We were 215 in front so even a shite score was putting the game out of their reach, as we saw. No good killing our best assets. Me, i've always been anti- follow on anyway. I just think it's giving a sucker an even break.
Agree on Starc but reckon Cummins bowls our best bouncer but, yes, Hazelwood's a gun.
