One thing I do know - Bealette 3 had a great day at the pink test yesterday - she was in a corporate box!

If anyone can clarify why Carse is there would be interesting to hear...

Burnt a review but to be fair was tight and as the comms just queried was the ball inside the line at the frame it hit the toe...

Obviously with the subpar snicko and low frame rates it uses we will never know...

As I type this, Head is killing it for Australia

And then Smith took over from him. As far as Australia goes it's just "Anything you can do, we can do better. We can do anything better than you"

And there tolls the death knell.
Australia could send out Head and Smith for a second innings and let the rest have a break

I was getting a quick youtube update of today's highlights and it was interrupted by some "happiness" ad, and then it dawned on me.

Gotta luv ya lamb!

"I didn't know they sold tools!" Ha.

There's always next time in England, but before then we have the Sesquicentenary test at the MCC in March 2027.

I'm getting so much flak from the blokes at the bowlo. Well, are you an Aussie or a Pommy?   

I did think that a post I saw on the interweb was interesting, though.

"Head has not changed his game for the role, but perhaps Test cricket has steadily bent itself into his preferred shape" 

I watched Travis (Adelaide Strikers) chase the Sydney Sixers total on New Years Eve Big Bash 2015 and he made something like 101 not out from 53 balls and absolutely destroyed the Sydney bowling. Didn't seem to matter what was bowled, Head would smash it.
