We could’ve capitulated and been all out before lunch, at least they are trying...
Small wins, probably a bit like our footy club.
We do have the batting depth to deliver a result, but even so it would be valid to question why the result needs tail-enders to deliver it!

No doubt, but there are reasons the top-end batsmen should not go out the way ours do!
Really this situation is a consequence of poor bowling and poor batting. In spite of our poor bowling late in the Indian 1st innings the media was all positive, but really India scored 50 more runs that they should have and that was very very bad.
I won't write about our top order batsmen 1st or 2nd innings, their dismissals are frequently self-explanatory.

No doubt.
Two things that have annoyed the crap out of me with the tv commentary:
1/ James Brayshaw
2/ the desperation of the commentators to talk up Australia’s chances
Cringeworthy

A few batsmen should be having a hard time looking in the mirror right now....
Life is pain....... anyone who says differently is selling something.

Yes, we have a T20 mentality, this loss is a failure of stoicism!
Stop our top test cricketers playing the short form game, and order will be restored.
Do like India, pay them well enough that T20 is not a carrot!
