Wayne? There’s every chance.
Picked a great time for our worst bowling of the series.

We're in a bit of trouble now. Trash bowling is giving these two a lot of confidence at the crease.

Are we betting against ourselves ?

All this is highlighting is how s**t we batted against the short bowling. This pitch isn’t playing that badly, just our batting was less than ordinary, all started by Stupid Warner having zero patience against s**t bloke Broad

Funnily enough a loss here wouldn't be the worst thing.
There's still some issues around the batting, and IMO the keeping spot isn't completely Carey's yet.

Curious on your thoughts as to how a loss plays any part in rectifying those issues? Even with those issues losing to this English side who have been less than interested in this series is nothing but embarrassing

It would be embarassing, that's the whole point. We've had a few batting collapses during the series and I still don't think Uzzie is the guy to open the batting long term
I don't think we'll lose the game now, Green has turned it well back into our favour.
The bad bit is, we need to find 2 openers now. Warner is closer to the end than the beginning.

A bigger deal out west.
It wouldn't be, but your also over rating what one loss means, especially in a dead rubber.
Openers are a looming issue, especially if Pukoviski doesn't find a reliable way to play the short ball, and we'll find out if Carey is the answer in the next six months.
Still, it's probably the best shape the test side has been in the better part of a decade.

Head coming back in and finding career form has been a highlight, Smith in a slump but he'll be alright. Marnus still going well but the openers are a huge issue and Green is a worry with the bat at times in the short term anyway.
And I don't think Carey is the answer, just doesn't look like a Test batsman at all to me. Question is, is Josh Inglis ??

Good bowling by Starc there but as bad a shot as you could play, especially with a side strain.
Hunt move back to NSW at season end and get that cap.

We all seem to be playing from the same songbook on this one.

Woakes 141 runs @ 29, 6 wickets @ 55

Green is averaging twice as much with the bat than with the ball is a great return.

Well the English got the hope of their supporters up for a while with the opening stand... & now they have been smashed with another quick succession of wickets.

I've been really impressed with how the crowd has held up at Hobart.
Better atmosphere than the MCG on day 2-5 of the Boxing Day Test.
Next time the MCG dishes up a substandard pitch. Take them off the test schedule and send it down here (and yes, this pitch was a bowlers paradise. But it still shits over the pre-21 Melbourne pitches)
