    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 ....

    Both sides have had crappy opening partnerships

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

    @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

    Two simple catches put down and Siddle not bowling well.

    Australia are well below their previous standards in the field

    @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

    I saw the whole day (had it on my second screen at work). Other bowlers got some swing but nothing like Marsh.

    Around tea they had a stat showing how much each bowler was swinging it. Marsh was 3x the next best bowler

    He bowled well. Who knows if he can back it up or if he can get runs.. but he deserves credit for yesterday

    His quote in the presser - which showed a remarkable amount of self-awareness - was something like:

    "I think every cricket fan in Australia hates me (laughs) but they're passionate, and I haven't been able to nail down a spot with consistent performances"

    So I'll give him credit for that as well.

    He's trying to let his cricket do the talking. Smart

    Been up the snow with limited reception.

    Seems we're fucked, and Paine made a couple of bowlers, but mostly due to shit fielding.
