3rd umpire needs to find a new job, because he should be sacked immediately.

How on earth are Head & Harris considered to be better batsman than Khawaja? Still donāt understand how Starc can be considered a walk up start anymore either. Good thing the Poms are trash but a few other teams could jump this XI at the Gabba.

It was between Khawaja and Head, Harris not in the equation as he is considered the best available opener and I donāt have a problem with that. Khawaja bats at 5 or not at all IMO and it was neck and neck between him and Trav. I think the extra baggage around Khawaja such as his age went against him.
I would have been happy with either Starc or Richardson but it appears they have stuck by Starc for the variation

If by variation, you mean Starc is unable to bowl a line and length, then l agree. He has lost his mojo, but would love to see him get back to his threatening best.

Amazing and obviously very rare effort, glad I was watching. Patel was born in Mumbai too, so thatās a nice touch.
Also, a tremendous century by Agarwal. The guy has played 16 Tests, 1200 runs at almost 50 with four centuries (three 150+ scores). The fact he hadnāt been able to hold his place in the team after such a strong start to his career shows the quality of depth India has. I reckon they could realistically field three or four world class Test XIs.

Outstanding effort by Patel, brilliant work.

Fantastic performance. Interesting mindset by Siraj though. You come in at 11, with a guy on 9 wickets and you go the slog. Would most players try and defend Patel and slog the next bowler? Or did he want to be immortalised in a highlight ala Jake Carlisle and Brad Johnson

Kiwis not made a great start at all. Latham bounced out, caught hooking. 2/15.
Mitchell adjudged lbw off Yadav, however review shows the ball just passing over the stumps. Still 2 down but under immense pressureā¦
NZ are a mess 3/17

Siraj first 3. Perhaps he went the slog because he was so keen to get out there and have at crack at 10 himself.
