    Splendid from Blundell. Have to say, the Aussie commentators on Radio sport have been good. They mocked that lbw a lot, and given a lot of praise to Blundell. No rah rah crap.

      That really is an unbelievable innings in the context of this game and the series. Just awesome.

        No matter what happens with the game, no one can ever take away from Blundell that he scored a century against a full strength Australia at the MCG. Something to savour forever.

          Santner did well to hang in there for Blundell to get his ton.

            At least DRS means limited ability to saw us off. Limits blame a bit though...

            We've sawn our selves off really, but they have certainly tried their best and should be held accountable.

            Adds to the DRS discussion when they are that incompetent.

              For sure, hopefully the umpires' performance reviews make that point.

                Blundell gets 100. An indictment on the selectors. The guy has 2 tonnes in 3 matches. Now we have keystone cops and Southee gets run out

                  The one glaring positive to come from this 2nd embarrassing hiding in a row is Tom Blundell.
                  The man who had never opened in a first class match before, brought in to open against a red hot bowling attack and shows up all of our established batsmen.

                  You bloody ripper.

                  That only leave the spinners spot to sort out. No more persisting with Santner, surely?!?!

                    Well Boult has to go home so if the selectors have any sense they will choose a real spinner not a "batting all rounder".

                      There is something extra annoying about a player getting run out in a test match right near the end of day 4. Stupid stupid STUPID.

                          Blundell scored half our runs. Nicholls, Watling, and Santner another 82. Remaining six scored 27 runs between them. Unacceptable.

                            Maybe Ajaz is whitebaiting somewhere.

                                Are you saying Blundell should have been selected more and, if so, instead of whom?

                                  Blundell doing very well makes the pain of this defeat greater. Really one of Williamson, Taylor or Watling should have scored runs in one of the innings.

                                  If we scored even another 100 in the first innings that adds 2 and a bit sessions to the game and we might hold on.

                                        Agreed Wags a definite positive, but Blundell being the really obvious one.

                                          While we are at it can we get Blundell in the ODI side and fuck off Munro?
