Interesting that Patty is not opening

Reckon the pink everywhere makes it harder to see the ball?

I guess Vodafone as a sponsor(red) would be even more problematic

How so?
He never opens.

Can tell you two are eastern toffs. Overinflated sense of self

I just had a look. Last time they were over here Jadeja only played in the last two Tests. He made 4, 5 and 81 and took 2/45, 3/82 and 2/73. Solid numbers, but not great. Definitely been better this time around…

Couldn’t agree more… The Shane Warne foundation was a massive rort

Dear Shane Warne.

Shut the hell up!

Just because it’s ā€œtightā€ doesn’t mean it wasn’t a no ball you balding douche

He’s become a parody of himself. Absolutely awful.

Cummins is the destroyer, good that he’s into the attack because Starc looked very wayward.

You knew the moment Guha corrected him that he would double down. Back on mute I went.

Anyone know how I can watch this outside Australia:

Bloody fine hundred by Smith. Feeling fit and back to his best. What a contrast with the last match, when he just couldn’t bat at all (he was obviously in pain with his back) !

Get thee a VPN and set to Melbourne 3000.

(Or Dubbo 2830)

Lyon was absolutely on the money first up. It’s going to be a very challenging session for these batsmen. I think Sharma will aim to go after him and probably hole out to mid wicket.

Warne’s always been mega cashed up bogan tabloid train wreck trash but he’s hilariously embarrassing and I like that.

Yet he’s still better than ā€˜Pup’.

That mural too.

Lyon will love that shot from Sharma; high risk and low reward.

Not as much as Sharma

Warner is so cooked.

These are prime batting hours now, and that’s why it’s so disappointing that we threw an advantage away .

Gill is going to frustrate the hell out of me for years, I can already tell. Good hands, good eye, not always keen to get behind the ball.
