Aus might as well give Lyon a rest next test. No Cummins or Hazelwood has hardly made a difference.
Are they back next test ? I have to say the “passengers” in this Oz team are pretty few and far between especially if they replace Harris with Khawaja.
In other news, this prediction has aged terribly, he must have been on his 20th gin and tonic when he said this……
No one can fuck up a bold sporting prediction quite like the English can.

from CricInfo
Meanwhile, Australia have confirmed an unchanged squad for the final three Tests with Cummins and Hazlewood expected to be back for Melbourne. -

Butler and Woakes still there at Dinner. Australia have two sessions to take four wickets.
Frustrating for Oz. Is the new ball due anytime soon ? ( I’m out and can’t watch )

Butler out Hit Wicket. Weird way to go after holding out for so long.
Only the 163rd time in test history apparently.

Third time at the Adelaide Oval - 1092 and 1929 the last times according to the channel 7 guys.

Anyway, thank fuck for that. Looking very poor from our blokes out there for a long period, with a lack of plan evident.
I'll take it. Bring back Cider for Neser and we'll be right.

Dude, it's Adelaide, under the sun it's a road.
There's a reason it's the designated pink ball test every summer.
This series is like the old shit day's where England turn up and get flogged through 5 games

@mariner4life but it wasn't exactly hooping around under lights either.
Mostly the bowling plan seemed to be shit. Not enough challenge just outside off stump from the pace bowlers, and Lyon inconsistent if a little unlucky
-
Funny reading Root lament the lengths that his bowlers bowled, while most of his top order batsmen have batting averages that would embarrass a 90's NZ top order...
The bowlers are somewhere behind the batsmen, fielding, and wicketkeeping in the order of concern...

Trouble with the pink ball is that the danger period can coincide with a new cherry.
If a team can bat first on a road for 5 sessions they then get the twilight period with a new ball and the test can be as good as over in two days.
The need for very good openers is emphasised hugely.
England don't have very good openers.
