The ball was swinging and seaming around corners. Warner and Labuschagne did a great job under the circumstances. Hopefully with similar conditions our bowlers use them well. You never know until the other side bats.

Their opener Burns got a ton in the first test with one of the worst techniques ever. Sometimes it's just about luck.
Having said that, I think Labuschagne is a talent. About time we found some middle order batters.....
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Warner was lucky to reach double figures.
Khawaja must go. Ditto Paine (Carey is a much, much, much better bat).....but being Captain helps!
Cummins played a terrible shot - he's a better bat than that.
I actually think Carey is better with the gloves as well - Paine has grassed a few

Can't drop the skipper. Don't be surprised though if Paine gets a "finger injury" that means he has to miss a couple of tests

The fourth innings is going to be played on a day 3 pitch !!!! Another 60 odd to us will probably rule out an England victory.
