Ashes 2019

Our players that get paid to make runs with the bat in the higher order need to be more composed and score more consistently. That can’t have Smith, Siddle and Wade carry the side making most of the runs. Not saying it was a huge problem in this test, but our upper order don’t set a good platform for a decent score often enough.

They all made runs in the 2nd dig bar the openers and even then Warner was unlucky trying to withdraw the bat but still catch the edge. First innings was pretty poor though. Hopefully we aren't 8/122 too often.
