    Wags doing two things

    Scoring a few bonus runs to push the game along
    Settling the nerves of the 4 run scorers to come, who would have been a little edgy about things this morning, but have probably just settled down a little

    So we've solved the issue of who to bat #5 with Nicholls shifting up after Taylor's retirement...

    Great night watchman score there from Wags..I dont want to start thinking about 300 + yet, as that collapse always seems just around the corner when you least expect it, but a good partnership here would go a long way to making that happen

    Perfect, now Wags can start channelling that frustration into his bowling in the second innings.

    Exactly. If he starts believing he’s a decent batsman it will detract from his bowling

    Mitchell gone immediately after lunch. He has no business batting in the top 6 at test level.

    Nicholls is like a not as good Dave Warner

    Great record at home, not so flash away.

    To his credit every time the average dips under 40 he plays a big one and gets it over again.

    at least he has turned up against a decent bowling attack as well, Im sure I've given him sh*t many times, but delivering against SA is a good result. Now if he could do that in SA, then that would be even better!

    Steady on. Everyone knows he only performs at home.

    so the maligned Henry and Nicholls coming up big

    Well done lads.

    That's a pretty fucking good knock considering what he had to work with yesterday

    Great stuff Nicholls. Always seems to perform when his place in the side is questioned.

    Well batted Nicholls, stepping up to the plate with Kane injured and Taylor’s retirement!

    8 hundreds now, quietly edging his way up the list.

    I'll disagree on that one.

    Looks to me easily capable of averaging 35ish at 5 or 6 over the next 3 or 4 years as we cross generations.

    He's not really replacing mid-40s averaging Taylor or mid-30s averaging CdG. He's replacing the high-20s averaging Taylor and/or CdG of the last 2 years.

    Only 'problem' is those are the cushier batting spots - which could be used to introduce debutants and youngsters.

    CdG in, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say this will either be entertaining or short lived.
