Jye Richardson took 4 for today, him and Cummings would be upgrades on Neser and Doggett.

Cam Green remains the biggest tease in Australian Cricket
Still yet to have a breakthrough innings yet been in the team for 5 years and is now 26 years old.
Since when do we start judging him more harshly.
I am sick of hearing about Potential

What’s the go with Jofra? Is he just really really unfit or what? Because he certainly does not look unfit? Can’t bowl as many overs as England want? Bent over after acouple of spells? It’s like dude do some laps or something get your cardio up so you can handle test cricket. I just find it insane!

He is pretty young for test cricketers let’s be honest, not to mention the injuries that have held him back.

Has all the tools. I'm starting to think he's just not very smart.

I don't really like Bazball and the moral grandstanding of this English team very much. But Ben Stokes is a man you would go to war with. He can produce magic with bat and ball even when he looks like he can barely walk.
New Zealand should be very proud of him.

His 34 Test matches into his career and 6th summer being in the Test Team.
Mitch Marsh copped it deluxe at the same stage of his career.
Green's dismissal tonight was embarrassing. Good batsmen don't give their wicket away like that.

He's played **** all Test and county cricket in the last 5 years because of his injuries and it shows
Have to bat for as long as possible tomorrow. The Poms are tired, sore, buggered. They are running on the smell of an oily rag.
Bat and bat and bat.
Not just for this test, but the rest of th series. Wear them down and out.

Re the slow over rate discussion. It shits me to tears too, but devil’s advocate, is it really a big issue if you get a result anyway? I’d be annoyed as captain if my team wins a test and yet still gets penalised for slow over rates. Has there really been any negative effect - other than maybe boredom?
He backed away three times in a row and telegraphed his intentions.
Any decent fast bowler would target the stumps like that.
He needs to mix it up a bit because he can bat well from the crease.

I dunno, is it a negative effect if there's a draw when there could've been a result?
Speaking of which, there's rain forecast on day 4 and day 5 and we've lost 30 overs already.
A few years ago AFL introduced 6-6-6 because centre bounces were becoming congested stoppage fests. I guess as long as the game finishes and we get a result it's fine, though.
I am a fan of Green, but, it was just dumb play.
Smith and Green could have cruised to stumps and ran them ragged just pushing the ball around. both could have been 90-100 + at stumps. Looking at crushing them tomorrow. Very disappointing.
I would prefer Richardson took some more time. I feel like they are planning for next summer. In the mean time Fergus O'Neil would be worth a shot with Cummins and Starc. He isn't particular quick but gets pretty good movement. Basically a 24 year old Boland.
Just to add the Green, he failed in his comeback in the WTC which sucked but then put on a decent series in the windies, was one of our better bats (I know general public don't watch Cricket during the footy season but I keep up with it)
He has barely played since his breakthrough test but things are looking decent, (He has also been thrown around the order over the past 2 years, atleast when he has been playing) its not a terrible start to the series if you can forgive a dumb shot
24, DNB
45, ?
Hopefully puts some more runs on in the 4th innings

I used to be pissed off about slow over rates too. But faster scoring, extended days' play and sportier wickets worldwide have made concerns about them redundant. The fines are ridiculous unless they are intentional to force a draw.

When players are going at over a run a ball it's bloody hard to keep to the over rate.
Kapow!!!

I tend to agree that the histrionics regarding over rates is usually cringy and pedantic most of the time. If you're missing 3-4 overs in a day it's really not that bad and have said as much.
But when you lose 16 overs...that's over an hours worth of cricket going at the intended pace. That's a genuinely significant portion of play to be missing.

Aussies look like having a good lead just need to take wickets at twilight

Massive mental challenge for the poms here. Getting ground down, so much hype before the series and looking down the barrel of going 2 zip down.
Interesting to see what sort of grit their batsmen show.

The longer they stay out there, the more overs they will get to bowl with the new ball under lights. This could be over by lunch time tomorrow.
