Some serious eyebrow action going on in that lunch/high tea/whatever it was. I don't understand women.

What do we reckon about the follow on?
- weather
- this aussie team are shot birds
- Indians would be feeling no fatigue. Full downhill skiing mode
- especially if triggered (Ha!) tonight

Wouldn't judge if the tail just decided to turn it up for once.

Pant has pantsed Paine by 154 runs this innings. Needed a captains knock to get us through to the follow on score to avoid embarassment. Should be demoted make Cummins captain. Wade should get the gloves as a better bat and keeper.
Stop drinking!

Pant has dropped about 6 chances this series.
He's never coming in under pressure like Paine has been.

Wade a better keeper:D

Don't see any dramas with someone like Mel not knowing anything about sport tbh, they're there as more of a producer role to keep the ball rolling and to move between segments. They're a producers dream.

Literally Howie's and that glasses wearing blokes roles.

You reckon Smith will get the captaincy back for the WC/Ashes?
Considering CA haven't backed down from the bans yet, I don't see why they would back down from the part of the ban where Smith can't have a leadership position for at least another year

Would have thought being able to enunciate would be a pretty important part of playing that role.

Marsh is - at best - good enough to be one of the last batsmen picked. Can make big scores, can bat in difficult conditions but is completely unreliable. When you're picking a bloke that is 35 you'd hope that they're not a 50/50 chance of only lasting 10 balls.
Yes he’s pretty pointless in the current side. At 35 you would expect a lot more for him to be in the side.

It’s not like he’s ever really gotten any better or worse over his whole career, random big scores and long periods of nothing.

He's banned from leadership positions for two years (one year after his playing ban). So, no.
This is self inflicted harm lol. The punishments were extreme and they're going to cost Aus a series to India, along with hurting their chances for the WC and Ashes.

Sure Smith wasn't the best captain, but he brought stability. Paine atm isn't a lock for the ODI or Test team.
