I think he's OK but perhaps he is too easily influenced by home crowds, but he's not on his lonesome in this regard!
I suspect that is why England love him, because he can be "got at" by the chants and screams of the Balmy Army! Aussie supporters are like Church Mice by comparison!
PS; Anyone else notice the Carlton caps appearing regularly in the crowd coverage overnight, it must have given Sheedy an overnight stomach ulcer! Does the club still have that campaign running of getting your Carlton jumper or cap on social media coverage around the world?

Given that the Carlton cap-wearers probably planned their trips for the Ashes some time ago, it might just be a comment on the fact that they didn't see much value in hanging out at the MCG or Marvel stadium in August! Sheedy would say the Essendon supporters are all getting ready to attend finals matches.....
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Self righteous pricks these poms... Headlines like "should have banned him for life"!
Didn't see such indignation when Atherton got done for rubbing dirt on the pill, or using mints to extract swing, or a bloke bashing blokes outside a nightclub.

English tabloids are only suitable for wrapping fish or lining the bottom of your birdcage.
Just cheap trash.

Warner and Bancroft have been decidedly underwhelming this test. Both need to put up or get *****ed off. No time for passengers.
Another pretty cameo from Khawaja when a more extended dig was required. Disappointing.

We are seriously deficient in the top order.
Pathetic to get real about it.

Bancrofts technique in English conditions isn't going to work, not sure why Harris didn't play who seems that Chris Rogers/Rory Burns
style of fighter who will grind out the runs against the moving ball.
Interesting seeing Smith in defacto captain mode marshalling the troops from 1st slip, don't see Paine lasting as captain and while
you need input from senior players I think its out of order for him to be giving directions in such a bold manner.
Game is evenly poised and with Anderson out we can win Imo.

The Bancroft selection is downright bizarre.
