Bell is riding his luck but 3/213 is the time to do it.

Really need to find a way to restrict the scoring. The best we're going to get out of this match is a draw. Maybe try some line and length bowling? Hmm, nah.

Bell is doing that thing where hes been poo poo for ages then comes out and twats the ball around streakily for a fast scoring 30-50 and then he'll be back in proper form next innings.

I bet if Starc's injury is bad they'll pick Cummins over Siddle for the next test even though Cummins probably can't even remember what a red cricket ball looks like

Siddle wasn't very good the last couple of tests he played but Cummins hasn't played a first class match since 2013.

Siddle has lost a fair bit of pace recently in fairness. He isn't especially tall to make up for it. He was struggling to get above 135km/h in his last test series iirc. I think he should be selected over Cummins who shouldn't even be in the tour party.

If Siddle plays then we'll have to endure Ian Healy talking about bananas again too.

Haha Healy thinks Watson is going to bowl 15 overs. As if England are going to bat for about 400.

Healy (yea hes commentating again) isn't wrong. How uninspiring is Watson. True story for anyone who hasn't read whitewash to whitewash cricket Australia was very split about giving Clarke the captaincy after ponting stepped down. A bunch of people wanted to give it to Watson.

Would have been worth it entirely for the inevitable Kim Hughes-style teary retirement press conference. Where's Smith? He couldn't be any less poo poo than Twatto.

I haven't read it but surely this is more an indictment of Clarke than any sort of endorsement for Watson? He would've been the only other "experienced" player that wasn't retiring imminently I think?

A reminder that Shane Watson has captained the Australian Test team. 2012/13 tour of India 4th test. Clarke ruled out with back injury. http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/598815.html

Yeah, Warne and Bumble seem to be the only commentators who do it. The Lily Allen poo poo was excruciating.
