Mr Reliable at least managed to expose the tail

I suppose it's a win but our wins are from individual acts of brilliance rather than a good team efforts. Rogers knock was an invaluable effort.

On form and fitness you could easily make 4 changes to a winning team.

Yep. At the moment we have 1 batsman in the middle order who I can say with any confidence will make more than 15. We lucked out in this game with the tail making runs and that should not be overlooked.

If Harris is fit Starc doesn't play, and I'd drop Marsh for Burns, provided he doesn't come in for Warner anyway. If the good Marsh isn't fit then Faulkner comes in, and spit in the air and it'll land on a better keeper/bat than Haddin. If he's in the team for leadership, leaders don't pick out the man at backward square on 1. If he's in the team for his keeping, then he shouldn't drop catches. And there's no way he's in the team for his batting.

We got lucky here. If not for Hazlewood's first innings and the tail wagging we would have lost handsomely.

Looking back it was that 50 that Mitch Starc got our nose in front.

But Harris comes back for sure.

What a man for the tough times is Bradley. Doesn't matter how much we need runs, if it gets tough he'll swipe and get out cheaply.

Him and Watson are playing such stupid shots ATM. Even more so than usual.

Park cricket stuff.

Re: 2nd Test - Australia vs India

Watson's dismissal was terrible.

Like others I think we were a little lucky in this one. It doesn't hurt when your opposition are a bunch of mollycoddled soft-willies.

I cant remember us having as many non contributers but still winning winning the match.

They are a lot of man poodles.

Mollycoddled is an understatement . Apparently they whined up a storm about the Gabba food, and promptly got their own in.
The food wasn't allowed in the stadium however. For a country where 3/4 of the population are starving its a bit rich, me thinks.

I honestly don't understand why they don't bring their own catering to each test, or any game they play at any stadium they play at.

It's a simple one for me, Shane Warne used to have a 2 tonne transit van following him around the world with baked beans stowed in the cargo hold. These temperamental dickheads, with an inordinate amount of money at their disposal for stroking their own proverbial's you'd think the least they could do is take care of chow.
