SA 1 wicket from yet another loss caused by their inability to bat consistently. Efforts by Head and Ferguson meant nothing when everyone else failed. Dalton, Weatherald, Lehmann and Cooper contributed very little. The bowlers did well as they usually do to restrict Tasmania to 526 runs in total.

Starc has to be the biggest front runner we have ever had, bowls like an absolute pussy to the good batsmen but as soon as the tail comes in out come the bouncers, the thunderbolt Yorkers, up jumps his pace 5-10 kph...
 
It was close but Moeen was out. The batsman has to have part of the body or bat grounded behind the line. There is nothing grounded behind the line in that photo and both bails are dislodged. The consistency of the batting crease is interesting but the crease is remarked between innings so there is usually some variation due to wear on the pitch.

I wonder how long before Ben Stokes gets the 'come on down all is forgiven'.

Good to see Bancroft among the runs.

Australia cruising at 0/114 needing just 56 runs to win.

Moeen Ali's stumping got a fair workout, and it wasn't just English cricket fans. Michael Clarke thought it was a poor decision. Even with the fact that the crease was a bit thicker at that point Clarke felt he may have had something behind the line, and benefit of the doubt should go to the batsman.

Yet Michael Vaughan thought it was out so there you go, close decision.

In any case after Aleem Dar's decision to give Stuart Broad not out at Trent Bridge in 2013 the Poms should not be complaining about umpiring decisions.

Stokes reported to be flying to Australia next week to prepare for the Perth test on 14 December.
 
Smith continues his amazing run in Oz. This is a list of best averages in Oz for batsmen who have made more than 1,000 test runs from ESPN Cricinfo's Statsguru query facility.

He didn't make a century until his 12th test at The Oval in 2013 Ashes series. Before that innings he had played in 3 tests in Oz vs the Poms in 2010-11 series when he played as a leggie allrounder 7,36 in Perth, 6,38 at MCG and 18,58* so that is 159 runs in 6 innings.

Then after the Oval Test he still struggled in Oz in 2013-14 against the poms, 31,0 in Gabba and 6,23* in Adelaide and then made 111 and 15 in Perth, 19 and DNB at MCG and 115 and 7 at SCG

He doesn't do as well O's but he is still averaging over 50. 4 neutral tests are 2 v Pakistan in Engand and 2 v Pakistan in UAE.

away 2013-2017 28 53 6 2693 215 57.29 10 10 1
neutral 2010-2014 4 8 0.. 274 ..97 34.25 ...0 3 1
overall 2010-2017 57 105 15 5511 215 61.23 21 21 4

Apparently he has flown to NZ to play some First Class cricket. After the booing of David Warner by English crowds in England I am enjoying the Poms' situation re Stokes and now Bairstow. The Bairstow one is bizzare, while must of us shake hands apparently Bairstow head butts people. Better be careful asking for an autograph.

He's certainly enhancing his claim to be the best since Bradman. His unbeaten ton in Brisbane took his Test average past Herbert Sutcliffe, and into second place behind guess who, among batsmen who have played 50 Tests or more. He's a very special player, and we're lucky to have him on our side!!!
 
According to the BOM website most of the rain should be tonight and tomorrow. Still shows 80% chance of rain on the first day of the test but the amount predicted is only 3 to 8 mm. The rain forecast for the days after that is 0 to 1 mm, 0 to 0.4 mm, 0 mm and 0 mm. On Tuesday and Wednesday they say possible rainfall 0 mm but chance of any rain is 10% and 5%. Sounds like what my granny used to call "a little bracing dampness in the air".

So given the conditions, do you win the toss and bat, and run the risk of being bowled out for 60? Bit of a dilemma, I feel.....

I personally think the bom have absolutely NFI, bit like our state government in building roads, and tram line extensions, and bridges
