Head to Potts "and fuck you in particular"
Potts brings up his hundred in a rollicking 91 deliveries

It’s the Australia effect, how often do teams head over to Oz (us included) thinking they have a chance only to get pumped.
Only really India and South Africa play there well
It’s like when certain teams come over to play the All Blacks and lose before they even get onto the field ( I mean when we were good and had a decent coach….)Genuine question: when did SA last tour Aus?

i actually had to google it
only 3 years ago, and Australia flogged them (well ok 2-0 with the usual Sydney wash out)
Tour before that was 2016 and SA won.

2022/23
Oz won 2-0Before that it was 2016/17
SA won 2-1Edit
SA have a good record in Oz
They won another earlier series in 2008/09 as well
(Cricinfo app kept playing up while I was trying to find the results)
They def carry no fear playing over in Oz -
Head finally goes.
Aus still behind, and Smith actually needs some runs to give his series some sort of legitimacy. His poor performance has been quietly overshadowed by England's, and guys like Green.
-
Is it racist to say that was an incredibly shit and selfish review? Old mate wanting a last big innings. Watson-esque
-
Any criticism is racist.
-
You could argue Uzzie actually won Australia this series. I mean, if he was honest about his fitness in the first test Head would never have opened, and that has been a resounding success.
Also Uzzie hasn't been the Aussie's worst batsman this summer.
-
there is actually a fair bit of batting to come (though Webster has been carrying gear all summer) so it could get seriously away from England if they don't watch out.
-
Another shit shot in a summer of them
-
Smith finally gets a 100 this series
Easy when the pressure is off and your mates already won you the ashes champ -

The England bowlers look utterly exhausted as the Aussie lead nears 100.
4-1 is going to be a fair reflection in the gulf in quality between these two teams.
Yeah a lead of near 100 is already looking tough. England could very easily be three or four down before they've even drawn level.
