Paine will get run out of the job by the Aussie summer if we lose this test.
 
First we pick Siddle and Marsh, and then Paine tells them we're having a bowl. Just dumbfounding. Did Paine not trust his openers to get through a session?

This pitch will be a belter to bat on after lunch and England should be looking at 400 plus.

lol @ that table. Smith with more than 300 runs than the next best batsman of either side. And he missed a test. Ridiculous.

Well, no. Australia hasn't managed a five over opening stand; a two hour one is pushing the boat out a little, even on the best batting deck in England.
