Should only interfere if/when players start to use their bats and pulling out stumps to use as weapons

Well that ended up being easier than I expected after we were 3/103 early on in the first session of day 2.
Les Burdett would hate these day/night tests. He prepared a pitch to get a result late in day 5 of a test. Probably under instructions from Bradman to maximize attendance and gate receipts.
This series is starting to remind me of the 2010-11 Ashes series.
1st test a draw but Poms were 200 runs behind on first innings but dominate their 2nd innings and were 1/500 odd
then
2nd test Poms won by an Innings
3rd test Aussies bounce back hard and won by about 250 runs
But then the Poms won the next 2 tests by an Innings.
History suggests, Australia will win at the Gabba and India have drawn and then won their last 2 games at MCG, and Sydney will be a rain affected draw.

2 things
1) The Victories become more emphatic as they go on
2) Only team that we haven't played a D/N test in AO is SL.

Haven't played Sri Lanka, Bangers and Zimbos and one day we might play Irish and Afghanis.

Great win, glad I could be there today and yesterday.
Hopefully Cummins remembers the rush of his fifth wicket today and keeps a third man in permanently for Reddy, Jaiswal and Pant. They can't help themselves ramping the short ball, it's almost a reflex because in the IPL it's usually free runs. On bigger grounds it is a risk though.

Surely the Travis Head innings was more important.
Indian bowling on Friday night was poor imo.
They get knocked over and there’s a fair chance we would have been 5 or 6 down that night.

Possibly, but why are the 12 year olds doing it?

Are you drunk? I think Cummins is in our top 5 Quicks since wwii but there is absolutely zero chance you pick him ahead of Pidge in an all time Australian list. That's before you get to the unbelievable foil McGrath would be to Lillee as an opening partnership.

Don't be a sook m8. You are a better pundit than this.
It seems that the exchange went something like this.
Head (after getting out): "What the f*** was that?"
Siraj: "w***er!"
Head: "You're the w***er, mate, if anyone is".

Well bowled.

This was the first time in 8 years that Lyon has bowled in a test match and not taken a wicket. The last time was a pretty infamous test match in Hobart against South Africa. (There was a strange anomaly in the Ashes a couple of years ago where he didn't bowl a ball.)
That's a cool stat I reckon, 8 years is longer than most guys careers.

That isn’t close to what’s being reported
Sometimes the complaints will be false.

Rightio
I tend to agree the Indians were not attacking the stump line enough, not bowling full enough etc. as Ponting was highlighting in the commentary, still a very good effort to get through from Marnus and McSweeney.

Omfg perfect Office homage
Hopefully Siraj was sweaty and then got sprayed with water on the boundary and said ‘was already wet so the joke’s on you.’
