Yep, not test standard batting EB, but I wouldn't be too harsh as I don't think our batting unit would have done well either. Poms looked very short of a gallop and the lack of preparation really showed out. Our bowling was effective but lengths still didn't look full enough at times and Lyon lacked penetration. Going to be interesting to see what happens when the pill gets older and the decks unresponsive.

My oldest grandson graduated from primary school yesterday (in my day you just left at the end of last term ... and they were glad to see the back of you). They had a fairly relaxed day that included watching the start of the Test. The boys clapped Starc’s run in and they erupted when the stumps shattered, ending up in a pile on the floor.
They’re all into BBL but the theatre and excitement of Test cricket just captured another generation

Warner bowled off a no ball. Lucky once again.

They've bowled pretty well. This won't last 5 days.

Only had three bowlers too, Leach has bowled Pies and Stokes looks stiff and unfit.
Wood is quicker than our bowlers but cant stay fit but that extra pace has troubled our batsman, Robinson was good vs India and New Zealand in England and is going to be a long term player.
Warner had plenty of luck and we are lucky that Burns dropped a sitter in the slips.
Still in control but considering the poor opposition its been average batting.
