Played for the swing and fell over to off did Wade and once again average technique , old school but the theory is get well forward
to the swinging ball .Smith can play back because he has an eye like a dead fish but the others need to get well forward to Curran who like Marsh bowled
full length balls...Cummins can bat but his was a classic example of not having a clue footwork wise.
Pakistan have three left armers who swing the ball and Riaz is quick so there is going to have to be a change in technique or personnel for those first two tests
of the summer and we need to find some decent openers.
Need some good slip fielders too....
Looks like we were happy just to retain the Ashes, celebrate hard then turn up for this Test just to get it out of the way so they can go home. Haven't been the slightest bit switched on this game. Going to be a cheap 2nd innings, all out 200, only because Smith makes a 100 and Labuschagne 50.
