They are outside australia and to an extent South Africa

Cricinfo pointed out that only 2 balls so far would have hit the stumps. Considering Cooks a prime LBW target early in his innings and Lyth misses straight balls this seems a mistake.

Also lol Cook you silly twat.

Cook's progressed; now when he gets out cheaply its trying to attack rather than prodding defensively at the ball

 I assume they're just giving Starc injections and he's actually injured. Not a long gap between tests either.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Bayliss takes Ballance out the back of the changing rooms and shoots him with a single shot to the head. Only explanation at the press conference is 'It was kinder this way'.

They must only have the budget to send over a portion of the commentary team. I'm not sure whether that makes it better or worse.
