A millisecond later with his wrists and it was 4

1/250 at the end of play was looking good.

Ants in his pants is out there now, under the lights, pink ball and spotlight on him.

Buttler is a horrid test wicket keeper...

[NTA]

Buttler has dropped two absolute sitters today and caught the most difficult one.

And the crowd are letting him know it.

[ACT Crusader]

That was a shocking miss. Crazy that the ball went straight to the middle of the gloves and then just bounced out so easily.

Could’ve changed the game right there. Into the middle order

Karate kid is back

[ACT Crusader]

@nta the crowd has woken up as a result!

Long day. Beers. Heat. Sun stroke.

Second wind!

So apparently some club cricketer from NSW, who had flown in to watch the match, was at the restaurant and went over to say hi to Cummins at his table.

Apropos to nothing, but for some reason I really dislike Jimmy Anderson.

Not sure why.

[KiwiMurph]

@booboo Anderson seems like a legend. 39 years old.

Whereas I’m a big fan. Have always liked him.

I can’t stand Steve Smith.

I’m with you there. I think in my case it’s any fast bowler who overtakes Paddles but needs about 50 million more matches to do so.

Na hang on, I like McGrath and Walsh, that ain’t it.

I’m not sure why either.

It might be the old “he only gets wickets when it swings/has helpful conditions/seaming wicket stuff that has been spouted so often it’s almost become the perceived truth. Of course he gets tons more wickets in those circumstances but then again which bowler doesn’t get his best figures when conditions suit him?

Anderson is a dead set legend but he’s not my favourite England bowler, nor England’s best. But he’s been very good for a very long time.

Oh and he is a stroppy fucker.
