And now Green too busy thinking about his T20 earnings plays an equally lazy shot.

Far out. Jacks is a mediocre offspinner who's just getting belted. Poor selection and being treated disdainfully by the Aussies.
Basically an English Michael Bracewell. I wonder if they call him beast too ?
First class bowling average of 42 with less wickets than matches.
Kind of a specialist number 8 batsman who bowls a bit ?

Waj gets himself out to Jacks of all people. They will take 82 runs from him though!!
-
238/5 and Australia getting on top now. Khawaja and Carey have done most of the damage.
Can't believe The Waj didn't make a hundred - what was his scriptwriter up to? Gone to the bar for a beer?!!!
And as I type, Tongue bowls Inglis. Desperately needed wicket. They've got to mop up the tail tonight and quickly.
Given the firepower at Oz' disposal 300 will likely be a challenging score.

I suspect 300 will be tough as well on this pitch even with wickets that were given away

Quite un-Australian like today - yet another wicket gifted more than earned.
That was a terrible shot by Carey after he and Starc were just milking the wayward Jacks for 4 singles an over. The pitch looks quite slow and "spongy" - a dangerous pitch to drive on if it's not quite full enough. But a relatively benign wicket to drop anchor and hit the bad balls.

That’s one of the most bizarre fuck ups jve ever heard of, how can any of the technology used for drs be trusted now?
Snicko isn't used for DRS - except in Australia. Ultraedge has taken over and runs some sort of frequency filter over the waveform to isolate snick sounds. Cricket Australia don't care and want to use Snicko, which is inferior technology.
All this I picked up from online, sounds reasonable, but fucked if I know if it's true or not. Using a wave pass filter seems fairly basic - but then so does syncing audio and video. It's a colossal fuckup for me. Also, given how people get given out elsewhere (including in earlier tests) the optics are terrible.
England will need someone to go big here, and not to fuck up against Starc (and probably Lyon). So, basically another Aus win.
