@nta I think the English bowling unit has more to offer than their batting unit. But, the Oz bowling unit trumps them - even without Hazelwood.
Not hard to be fair.
….but the English bowling attack is pretty decent it has to be said. The old boy has done bloody well.
@NTA what about Harris’s innings ? Enough to keep the wolves at bay for awhile ?
-
Jeepers, Australia might actually not get much of a lead.
But still, huge pressure on the English top order as always and it’s doubtful both Labuschagne AND Smith will fall cheaply again.
-
Anderson with four and Australia lead by 68.
I’m picking England will be two down before getting ahead again.

Is there a better Jaapies who don't play for SA team, than the Jaapies have?
We can contribute Wagner and Conway - and Watling can pull on the gloves.
Oz can put up Labuschagne and Neser and who knows who else.
Malan is not strictly a Jaapie, but doubtless eligible.

Yeah - slightly hometown decision from the real umpire on that one.
Root nearly gives Starc a hattrick.
Second-ranked batsman in the world can't easily play out a hattrick ball shows just how hard it it.

At the same time, Cummins gave him something on 6th stump and he flashed at it next over. That wasn't even part of Joe Root's early career.
