So Minnow Basher Latham lasts less time than it takes Spark to get their coverage up and running...
It's anyone looking at betting syndicate odds?

A poor shot and an even worse review from Will Young.
Didn't take long for our openers to get really shit
Young is so frustrating.

Might as well open with Conway

That feels very light in the bowling department...
Indeed, Johns son and Johns nephew as 4th and 5th options don’t fill me with ANY confidence in this department
Never fear, Wags will shoulder the load. After all he is well rested after not being selected for the first 2 tests
-
Never gets old the 2019 Headingly Ashes test. The greatest 1* ever by Leach! Stokes not bad either
-
Sheesh 4-88 and on a good deck too. Mitch Jnr needs to come to the rescue, again.
-
Jeez what a bizarre and unlucky way to get out. Gotta feel for the bloke.
-
@Catogrande a batter out of form and low in confidence.

Well that’s a depressingly familiar looking scoreboard.
How come Mitch jr and Blundell keep showing up their supposedly more talented top order counterparts ?
John the younger had really surprised me. Far better than I expected, which is great

Some of these guys are not earning their keep that is for sure

Mitchell has been very consistent but I can think of one shot he wished he hadn’t middled quite so well!

Absolutely. He’ll be eyeing up a third hundred this series alone which is crazy good for a guy I had pegged as a Styris type journeyman ( of course this is still possible )

The list of three consecutive away centuries is short and ridiculous. And no offense to Mitch, but it's like Ajaz getting a tenfer
-
Not many players average 70 as they approach 1000 test runs. Felt he should have been picked earlier like for the debacle in Perth. He exudes confidence at the crease and the lofted straight drive is a powerful art form. He must push mental pressure back on the bowlers. Always thought the talent was there when watching him for ND. But he has truly gone to another level as a shortform opener and test 5 or 6.

from The Bounce (Dylan Cleaver - I'm a subscriber, support your local sports journos people!). If Mitchell gets the ton:
He’ll join this list of greats who have scored centuries in three consecutive away tests: Don Bradman, Jack Fingleton, Everton Weekes, Neil Harvey, Sunil Gavaskar, Jack Hobbs, Wally Hammond, Garry Sobers, Ken Barrington, Chris Broad, David Boon, Brian Lara, Ricky Ponting, Graeme Smith, Andrew Strauss and Alastair Cook.

That Nicholls dismissal was genuinely bizarre. Very unlucky
He obviously used up all of his luck in previous test matches, benefitting from those numerous dropped catches.
An interesting article about Latham from a few days ago.
