Finally some proper loving batting from Australia. Watch them get ripped to shreds by idiots in here and in the media over it though.

You don't win tests by being cowed and negative. Gotta be prepared to lose to win imo.

Australia could get to 0/200 and I'd still expect a collapse from the rest of the batting order

Didn't the captain as selector thing get brought back recently, then they got rid of it again because the captain (i don't remember if it was ponting or clarke) felt it was negatively impacting their relationship with the players?

Sure, but his signal-to-noise ratio is so ridiculously bad that the times he speaks the truth or makes a decent point are no longer relevant. I tuned out the content of his blathering long ago, so it's merely the tone and constant presence of whatever he is driveling about that is driving me to start a Kickstarter to have him killed.

Also Warne loves the idea of Captain as selector but still can't get the gently caress over being dropped by Waugh for one test

Stokes is bowling really well. He seems to be able to draw extra bounce with the effort ball.

And Warne is boring as gently caress, but why in gods name did they pick Siddle.

He'll bowl all day, means Johnson doesn't have to and can concentrate on short bursts of being as fast as possible. So they'll probably end up bowling him less than Marsh.

Good work Warner I guess. I can barely think of a less meaningful innings in an Australian cricker's career but there you go.
