I see the Poms are playing musical chairs with the openers again. They definitely dropped the right one, crikey that Hameed looks all at sea at this level. Burns looks irresponsible and his technique is pretty shite but he’s definitely the better option.

NTA

Warner gone again. Burned his luck with those 2 X 90s

Tough conditions, mind.

Chris B.

@nta Not Marnus though (burned his luck)!

What would have been straight to Root at waist height - Crawley dives across and palms it away...!

Duck avoided!

Chris B.

No luck for The Waj, either.

NTA

@chris-b yeah he fluffed that badly.

The Waj gone tho. Good adjustment from Broad

NTA

Night season on this pitch with the pink ball.

🤔

This game could be over by tomorrow

NTA

Another one Smith could have left.

EDIT: length was never hitting stumps. He's poked at a few shorter length balls this series and is poorer for it

I reckon Aussie are keen for England to bat under the lights.

Chris B.

@nta Warne and Gilchrist (?) just saying Marnus has been the statistically the most dropped player ever for the number of tests he's played!

I knew it, Dan!!!

Smith doesn't have Marnus' magic either!

Good toss to win!

Terrible start for Oz in Hobart. 12/3

Head must be shitting himself in this situation.

Well, he wanted back in 😉

NTA

@booboo utterly retarded. There's "quirky", and then there's just shit.

NTA

Robinson broken. Did something to his back his first ball this session, finished bowling net speeds.

Fat and unfit the root cause, IMHO.

Chris B.

@nta Yeah - he looked like a bit of a lard-arse lumbering in earlier.

He's broken, Woakes is fucking innocuous, Wood is getting smacked - so there's Broad and Root.

Not surprisingly, England has completely lost the initiative.

NTA

Head making runs for laughs

"Mudguts" is the term I'd use

Doesn't need to go big. Just noodle it around and he'll be here until tea tomorrow.
