Only just tuned in - eventful first session. Geez England would be disappointed to have 8 wickets shot out this morning, after working their way back into the game yesterday. Was hoping they could somehow conjure a lead of 160-170 to at least see a decent 4th innings chase.

Sounds like -5 Test Championship points and 100% match fee fine for England for slow over-rates.

If it wasn't for Root they'd be rooted.

When does the next test start?
Thursday, day/night match I believe.
If Australia bat first, it’ll at least make it to the second day.

Don’t be so sure. D/N tests swing in the evening. Broad and Anderson will play.
Will be closer than Brisbane

Yep. They'll be a different beast with those two back and more favourable conditions. Our fragile batting lineup will get a great test
Really hope they do play, as much as I think the series will still end up 4-0 or 5-0 to Australia, am still hoping for a more even contest. They’re two pretty handy ins. Approx 1200 Test wickets between them.

Hazlewood is a huge out. Still can’t imagine the English batsmen will get much sleep the night before with the prospect of facing Cummins under lights on a deck doing a bit.

Jhye Richardson will be a handful under lights if selected

Steve Smith is captain. Aussie cricket has no shame it seems. I guess they painted themselves into a corner and had no other option.
Sucks for Cummins.

My stance on this is he has been punished and done his time for what happened in SA and really is the natural and probably logical vice captain to Cummins. Sucks Cummins will miss but I am fine with Smith being skipper.

Fair enough mate. I dont have a problem with him playing, but he should have never been allowed to go into a leadership position again imo. Apparently that's the case with Warner.

Warner actively participated in the cheating. It just happened under Smith’s watch.

I’m more alarmed that Head was borderline before the series and is today VC..

Smith was captain and knew about the 'plan' at the time. He could have showed real leadership and nipped it in the bud. But as he said he didn't want to know about it.

Is Labuschagne not leadership material?
