        He's almost in the Darryl Cullinan category now. As soone they're in, spin will come on and a good chance to get them out quick.

            Was terrible cricket. Beaten by a turner miles outside off the previous ball that he should have let go, and then played for spin the next ball like he's batting on an Indian dustbowl.

                And asked Warner whether to review too. When you're that plumb, you know you're out. I thought he was going to pull a Shane Watson for a moment. Thanks to Warner for telling him not to.

                            But at 4/76, Shaun Marsh is coming in so we can all relax.

                                Aleem Dar has gone all pro-Aussies all of a sudden. That Handscomb LBW was as plumb as it gets.

                                    The woeful state of batting in Australian cricket just boggles the mind. This is no world class bowling attack they are facing and their are no demons in this pitch.

                                        Handscomb's form has looked shakey for a while. And with his technique, there's no solid base to fall back on if he's not hitting them well.

                                        Anderson is going to give him a tough time this series.

                                            He's very susceptible playing so far back on the crease.
                                            Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

                                                Yep, full and straight has him in trouble and has done for the last 6 tests or so.

                                                Marsh has been leaving well this innings so far after a shaky start playing and missing at a few.

                                                    Perhaps he gets dropped for Maxwell, currently on 209 no.

                                                        Really good cricket. Ball's into a good spell and Anderson is mixing things up with his cutters.

                                                        The batting from Smith and Marsh has just been excellent.
