His wikipedia page just reads of controversy after controversy.

Although I've always backed him for no-balling Muralitharan.

After watching Malinga the other night, I personally think they only teach them how to chuck them in Sri Lanka.

Looks like Warner survives in the team list, I wonder if this run will extend tonight:

Anyone told nick the Aussie about Travis Head's replacement in the 11?....😏

He's still passed out on the floor

[KiwiPie]

If the answer was Mitchell Marsh, I wonder what the question was.

Faced with a choice between the 2, I'd shout "Give me Head" every time ....

That was really poor from Denly

[Duluth]

Both sides have had crappy opening partnerships

Skimming through the scorecards this appears to be Englands best opening stand of the series

Root might as well be opening

[NTA]

@Duluth believe that was the best opening partnership for either side this series?

Wow.. that's terrible

As bad as some of the batting has been, Broad has had a great series. I thought he bowled an incredible spell for no reward when Smith was getting his double

Siddle and Marsh scything through the English top order after winning the toss...

[Duluth]

Starc/Pattinson would have caught that

[Duluth]

Two simple catches put down and Siddle not bowling well.

Australia are well below their previous standards in the field

[dogmeat]

OH! Nick!!!....?

[NTA]

@dogmeat don't. Fucking. Say. It.

Look in fairness, a couple of those wickets were good bowling but a couple of them were utter pies that an idiot decided to have a hoist at.

He was bowling well. Good pace and for some reason he was getting considerably more swing than any of the others

Siddle isn't much of a swing bowler and the other two have been mainly seam. I saw a couple of highlight balls from Hazlewood where it moves a bit.

Marsh just had it going I guess - sometimes happens with those guys in the 130s that they can swing it better than faster bowlers
