@mn5 Ponting, Botham, Blewett, Fleming, Hayden, on free to air. It's insightful and to the point, as well as having the right degree of humour without the blokey shit.
Supported by Alison Mitchell, James Brayshaw, and a couple of professional commentators and it is a better package.

Actually that does sound potentially better. Beefy is always good value behind the mic. Not an option in NZ though I don’t think.

Wow - England start on fire!
Neser and Harris both removed within 15 balls of the resumption - then Buttler - having taken a great catch to get rid of Harris drops an easier one that should have had Smith walking back first ball. Second ball Smith survives an lbw review on an impact umpires call.
So Buttler pissed on the fire a little bit...

I wonder how many runs Oz think they need?
Warnie seemed to think they'd bat a little bit past tea, which would give them the option of two evening sessions with a new ball in hand - in case they'd need both. Seems reasonable.
On the other hand, that leaves less than 4 sessions for England to survive - which might just about be doable if they could survive the evening session relatively unscathed.

Commonsense says they won't and they can't.

@nta Warnie plugging for a declaration now, in case they need Lyon to be their main weapon.

England can’t rely on Root all the time, he’ll need some support if they’re ANY chance of drawing this even with a depleted Australian attack….and they’ve shown fuck all of that so far. If Root goes cheaply you can absolutely forget it.

That’s been our main tactic for a couple of years now
