this BazBall shit seems to be effective in a lot of conditions. Respect.
Also, FAAAAAARRRRRRKKKKK
They've won 9 of their last 10 tests.
We've won 2 of our last 11 tests.
This is hardly surprising.
That's an absolutely incredible turnaround under Baz. Must be one of the biggest impacts a coach has ever had on an international test side. They were beyond shit before he took over. Gotta give Baz a lot of credit for what he's achieved there.

Tickner gets the breakthrough and stops Duckett getting a century in the first session.
thank christ for that.
1/37 aren't terrible figures against the top order

Pretty much as good as Tim.
Wags and Kuggeleijn both worse.

And with an ominously true addition...

That's the Richie Benaud yardstick acted out right there. Something like 'if you think you're in a good position, subtract two wickets from the score to check'

Just got home from morning coaching session
Catching up, A worry to see Scott Kuggeljin playing a test he is not up to test cricket,it would have been better to blood a youngster for the experience, probably would not lose a lot short term but gain long term. -

Ordinarily the Outraged of Twitter are best ignored, but slightly conflicted feelings in this case, as they're being aggravated for a journeyman with no recent first class form to speak of. Maybe best to have gone with Duffy... or... arguably a bloke sitting 500m away watching via his WiFi.

But at least he now has a first Test wicket of Ben Stokes to further aggravate the Twitterati.
