    Just tuned into tv coverage. Wow, if you're not going to bowl first on that one, then I guess you never will. It's dark greenish pitch.

    Both captains would have batted.

    I'd much rather a pitch like this than some road (i.e. what MCG has produced in recent years)

    Aldo. I'm not saying the pitch has made England 150. I've been listening, not watching.

    But it just looks like a bowl first.

    Border said the same earlier, said it looked like some of the picthes in Shefield Shield which had a similar impact

    The pitch hasn't played like a minefield though. Most England wickets were from loose shots and prods rather than balls swinging or jagging back off the seam.

    I'm not saying we'll put on 500 but I think par is probably 250 or 300.

    @barbarian looked to me like England stuggled to adjust to the bounce too.

    Nice to see Green finally take a wicket. Helluva catch from Hoff as well.

    I'll take 147. Lost our way a bit in the middle there and Pope looks like an active, compact player with a lot of potential.

    David with a W and Stokes were just lack of concentation. Neither of those balls were hitting pegs. Burns won't step across again like that.

    Six ducks this year indicates he’s prone to brain farts.

    I'm not saying he won't get out for a duck. Just that it is unlikely to be that way again.

    3pm meeting while the tail collapsed. "Yes I'm sure your product will work wonders for us. Now shut the fuck up, I need to watch cricket"

    Ben Stokes is. What a player. Probably the greatest All Rounder ever.

    53 wickets at 38.07, Glenn Turner never stood a chance!

    They obviously couldn't find any tomatoes in this game, but should've look harder. KOK didn't even get a bowl and Turner made two hundreds.

    https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/australia-tour-of-new-zealand-1973-74-61411/new-zealand-vs-australia-2nd-test-63123/full-scorecard

    Skull might be a bit too old school to realise there are ways for people to check how accurate his yarns are bless him.

    lol, he may not have even dismissed him at all in test cricket

    Skull got him in the test prior to the one Turner got his double. That wicket was after the Oz quicks were getting treatment from Turner.

    Cue the next test and Turner is having his way and the Oz captain wouldn’t even bring Skull on to test Turner. That was Skull’s point and in the context of the analytics discussion. He was actually having a go at the Aussie captain…

    @barbarian will be interesting how the Oz middle order goes. I think if Warner gets off to a good start and the pressure is somewhat off them, at least one or two of them could flourish with the bounce of this wicket. If Oz are 3/18, I see it going not too dissimilar to England.

    I don’t. It’s a superior batting line up vs and inferior bowling line up

    Yep. This current England side has little depth in the batting and a mixture of ageing and not quite there bowling. Aus have a great attack and enough in the batting.

    Pray for rain. For a loooong time.

    @Catogrande Oz just have far more in the way of class players, it’s that simple.
