That stupid fucking leave of Louboutin's is cringy and spastic.
He deserves to take one right in the grill

@Chris-B all that maybe true, but there's no way we should play a test upon arrival in Australia without a couple of days play in local conditions.
Not a cure-all but a contributing factor to this train wreck tour, plus a lack of patience and attrition batting plans on pitches where big innings are full of leaving and then cashing in after 2 hours at the crease.

@Siam Yeah - a warm up game probably wouldn't have done too much harm, but I think I recall last time we toured Oz our warm up game was some bizarre offering where Finch and someone racked up 500 without loss on Day 1 and then the game was called off without a ball being bowled on Day 2 because the pitch was dangerous - but, maybe I'm getting two games confused.
I think NQ is pretty right that that first innings batting in Perth under lights scarred us quite badly. Tbh even from my couch it looked genuinely frightening when Kane and Ross were batting and getting hit by thunderbolts.

According to Google my memory is not quite as crap as I sometimes think. Here's the shit pitch story.

He models himself on Smith. What do you expect
great. 2 eccentric spastics on one team. Both scoring fuckloads of runs so we get to see them later.
Throw in the angry dwarf, and i am warming right in to hating the Aussies again.
Where's @Virgil to really fuel the fires?
Away heading up north with the wife kid free mate and pretending the cricket doesn’t exist...

We neeeeed to get better at hitting the stumps.

We should bring Chris Harris in as a technical fielding advisor.

Agree, and possibly Steve Waugh as a technical winning advisor.

...and clones of the young Joel Garner and Michael Holding...and Curtley Ambrose for good measure!
This is all looking pretty familiar - Marnus and Smith batting us out of the game here. Even if we get one of them shortly, I doubt we'll have the venom to run through their middle order.

400+ is on the cards here and from then it will be very same same. The only tough decision for the Aussies will be whether they have the egg or tuna sandwiches for tea...
