Is Cummins the best Aussie quick since McGrath?

IMO He's better. Certainly much more likable , and better pace.

McGrath was one of the most two-faced sooks around in test cricket.

You'll have to fight @mariner4life if you keep this up

Mariner may be too busy stalking Josh to engage in a fight.

As for McGrath - the Sarwan incident made him look like a dick. Sarwan's response would have been funny had the circumstances been a bit different (and I don't think Sarwan knew).

Look?

Look?

Yeah. I've never met him.

Could say he acted like a dick if you prefer. I think there were other "events" too?

I thought you were saying more likeable than Hazlewood. Carry on.

Nah, I actually really quite like most of the current Aussie team. Including Warner funnily enough, especially based on his lockdown chats with Kane the God. Lyon however is someone I would hold a pillow over his face . Plus I really rate Justin Langer and Tim Paine - great combo at the helm in more than just playing respects

[NTA]

India in the lead and will build into the afternoon. Rain around so playing time will be questionable.

Rahane doing a great job as Captain.

[SynicBast]

@NTA It's bloody great listening to Sunny on the ABC - but I really want Aus to win this test still

[KiwiMurph]

It's really noticeable how much quicker the bowlers are from both teams compared to Boult and Southee.

[MN5]

The Aussie pace bowling trio are better than ours, dagnabit.

[NTA]

Straight thru the first slip. Ffs

Aussie bowling quartet of Starc, Cummins, Hazelwood and Lyon is the best in the world by some distance.

@ACT-Crusader

I thought this was an interesting stat as a comparison after 17 tests played together.

[NTA]

Another one put down. Smith having a shocker

I was trying to think of a better quartet for Oz in my lifetime and that one mentioned was excellent. Obviously when Lee came into the side in 99, the other 3 had all experienced quite a bit of success.

Light could be an issue. It’s gone pretty dark here in Melbourne.

Santner might get there ( guffaws loudly )

This will be a deserved ton for Rahane. Has led the team well
