I’m not sure I’ve seen worse captaincy in the field than this

He also now has the record for the highest test score made by someone his age or older.

Most unimaginative captaincy seen in a long time, sticking with 3 main bowlers who have done little to impress.

How do you reckon McSweeney’s going right now? Gets thrown in as an opener (not his position) against Bumrah, then is quickly given the Chaminda.

Compare to Inglis… comes in at 3 for 3000, on an absolute road against a pissweak popgun attack and proceeds to fill his boots with the easiest runs you’re ever going to make.

Yeah King!

Just after England get a 50 partnership.

Umpires doing a bump ball review that was just ridiculous.

Is this English batting combination the most posh sounding one of all time?

I didn’t have the sound on but saw it live then saw the replay then realised it had been referred and was completely lost. I was wondering why they reviewed. How they thought that was a bump ball is beyond me.

Just realised all 6 state teams are represented in this Australian test side. Can’t think it would have happened heaps of times across the years.

Maybe the surnames but Danni and Nat also sound like they’ve got a bit of “slapper” in them

England 4 / 100 after 42 overs.

Uzzi’s first test double and in sight of his highest first class score (214) at 38
