Running out of patience with Travis Head. Most of his Test career has comprised getting out to poor shots as a result of dumb shot selection.

Here's one......Travis Head = The..... Office
Couldn't think of any other variations.

Tell ya what though, his fellow tasmanian in the commentary box was really hanging it on him, thought thay was a little muchHe's Tasmanian.
What else do you expect?!
Or NZ are just as bad.So, the Pakis weren’t that bad!
2nd in the worldOr NZ are just as bad.
Sometimes the stats cant say everything.2nd in the world
Isn’t everyone?Are we just home deck bullies
All the major test playing nations are home deck bullies. To rise in the rankings you have to deliver decent results away.Are we just home deck bullies or are NZ seriously overrated at number 2?
I dont entirely disagree, but a day night pitch that immediately favours the bowler could get done inside 2.5 to 3 days. Could still be entertaining though.yeah yet again we tour Aussie, dont play a tour game and then wonder why we struggle
If Aussie keep Cummins, Starc and Lyons fit then they will be very hard to beat
Having said that there were some positives in Wagner and Southee.
I do think they have to have a look at the pitches for pink ball tests though as too much advantage batting first. The groundsman took all the grass off the track
as they don't want it nipping everywhere under lights, but then the pitch cracks up plus the side bowling first gets bugger all movement
I think there should be some thought from the Captains when the toss is made about batting or bowling. if its just a no brainer to bat first then the groundsmen havent done their job and its too much advantage to the side batting first.If they leave some grass on the pitch then the side batting first needs to earn their runs for the first session
Nah, the pitch was fantastic. You just fecked it up batting under lights on day 2.yeah yet again we tour Aussie, dont play a tour game and then wonder why we struggle

You can't get anymore fair than a coin toss, and you lost the test when you lost the toss IMO.I don't disagree, it was a good pitch
I just think it was too good day 1, but deteriorated quite markedly days 3 & 4
Now i don't mind a pitch that changes, but needs to be fair
eg you want to bat first ..thats fine, but you'll have to put up with some grass on the pitch and some assistance. the advantage is you don't bat last.
you bowl first..you get some assistance and then perhaps bat when conditions are best, but you have to bat last
and you're right..It wasn't a 170 all out pitch on day. I'd just like to see a more even contest between bat & ball in the first 2 sessions.

I think they should do away with tossing the coin and instead take in turns to decide if they bat or bowl.
It’s practically the deciding factor of most matches.
It will make it more of a level playing field
Its actually amazing that you have less idea about cricket than you do about football.Cricket is boring because the personalities and gamesmanship have been sterilized.
Great post mate. Hopefully the MCG isn't as green as it was a few weeks ago in the shield game - WA V Vics....that was a bit too green. I have a bad feeling that the G will be another road. Bolt will help you big time. We don't like the ball swinging.yep that's exactly my point, There's too much advantage to the side winning the toss ,especially in pink ball cricket, (unless you're English and decide to bowl first on a road !)
put some grass on the tracks and it will be a different story.
ps not trying to denigrate the Aussie performance because they played this near on perfect. They played conservatively, kept their wickets intact for the evening session and then managed to have a couple of good cracks at NZ in the evening sessions with fresh bowlers
