Not taking anything away from Labuschagne (except about 20 off his average), but Jeez he seems to be a fucking lucky fluffybunny!

Third big life in this innings - and I recall we gifted him a heap last time we were over there!

No real damage done. Labbers gone LBW. First LBW this series?

Finally the guy with the punchable face is out.

Question - if the fielding team reviews and it turns out to be a no ball, do they lose a review?

[Derpus]

@crazy-horse surely

That is a good question. I think they would keep it based on the fact the front-foot tech is in play and it should have been called.

That's what I think should happen too. It would be unfair otherwise in my opinion.

I reckon that would be tough on the fielding team if that is the case. If the field umpires were calling the no balls in real time the fielding team wouldn't review when one is called.

That's a bit vague!

Apropos to my comment above - if all of Marnus' big lives in this innings were taken his 103 runs in this innings would have come at an average of 25.75 instead of 103.

Root trying to get to the break and Smith cuts him beautifully.

And then the ugly samurai swipe for 50

Lost his Head

[KiwiMurph]

Root wins out over Head

Now back to the cricket.

No feet from Green - terrible batting.

Add to labbers leaving a ball he should have played, and head deciding he was too good, and you see why a collapse is never very fast away

[NTA]

Smith giving no fucks. The most unorthodox 6 I've seen this year

[KiwiMurph]

Paine's demise timely for Aus. Carey is better.

Better bat and keeper. Win win for Oz

Burns might be joining Harris as a spectator in Melb

So I missed all that slogging glory thanks to grocery shopping

I firmly believe that if Steve Smith asked, wouldn't even have to be nicely, Labooshane would give him a tender blowjob.

Burns has got a horrible-looking technique. Somehow he must end up playing straighter than seems possible from where his bat comes from.

Kane would just have to point at his taint to get any of his team, or fans, to lick it.
