Leaving Head out is a line call. Depends on the balance of the team.

leaving Head out is completely retarded if this is a current form team. He's one of the first in to the middle order. And he's miles ahead of Marnus.

This year alone he got 163 in the Test final
3rd highest Aus run scorer in the Ashes
Averaged 47 in India

Only the Waj is having a better year.

That's before you take the World Cup in to consideration

Ok Head gets in ahead of bus change.

He’s 6th best in the world at present, Mitchell 7th and Marnus 8th. It’s the right call.

Boxing Day test starting soon and I’ve swept the yard already so I’m hoping the rain comes down so I have an excuse to watch.

Gilly, M Waugh and Akram are class.

Michael Vaughan has obviously taken over the token pommy twit mantle from Mark Nicholas. He played test cricket at least.

That Indian chick is hot and knows what she’s talking about. Nice combo.

Pakistan will get hammered again. Steve Smith averages 80 here

Smithy commentating ! I hope the lunchtime caterers are prepared.

Warner dropped. Regulation slip catch. Will get a hundred now.

Both bowlers and both batsmen left handed the commentators just told me.

[Duluth]

Pakistan sends them in and doesn't get a wicket in the first 90mins

[MN5]

I wake up from a kip on the couch and Warner gone for 38.

…..the fern rejoices

A few quick wickets today makes it interesting. Aussies 6 down for 267

[NTA]

52 extras in 301 runs.

[Duluth]

Much better session from Pakistan - 131/7 in that one

Aus all out for 318. Plenty of starts, no big scores

[NTA]

@Duluth pitch still has a bit in it. Interesting session coming up

[NTA]

I was just about to say Pakistan was doing well and then a caught & bowled from Captain Cummins

[Duluth]

[KiwiMurph]

Pakistan have played well today.

Cummins is just too good.

[booboo]

Cummins makes it 3 down, hitting top of Babar's off stick.

[NTA]

@booboo was a great delivery. Not often you see that happen to Azam

[NTA]

Hazlewood takes Shakeel with an absolute jaffa after Lyons plucked another one

[KiwiMurph]

It's very lightly drizzled in Melb over night/this morning and yet we have a 45 minute delay to the start time

Cricket hates itself
