Great day. Smudge and Head set the tone, and a very innings from Carey too to get the 400.
Lol Travis I don't like running too much.

I can only watch T20 cricket in short spurts. I don't like a lot of it. Test cricket...thats the best for me.
So declare like in test one of the Ashes on basically day one and lose?

Head is the most dynamic game changer in world cricket atm .
He most likely will finish with an average a fair way below his actually impact to the team and game .
Top order still a real worry .
Khawaja - 38 was never quick on his feet but slower now . Good if he gets back of length to swivel hook/pull or real full on the drive . Otherwise struggling .
Mcsweeney - feel for him . Solid player but just doesn't look up to the level . Bumrah is a tough audition but it's test cricket.
Labs innings last game masked his issues . If he keeps playing he will make his 50 odd every 3-4th dig . Not convinced it's only form . I think he has been worked out by test level bowling

Which makes it even crazier they’d put Australia in on a road.

I couldn’t care less one way or the other but Australia has to win the series to win the trophy back - just like England had to. You gamble as a captain and weigh up risk vs reward. Reality is Australia probably have enough runs - and had enough at 350 - that they couldn’t lose, given the time lost from the game. The longer you bat, the less ‘ways’ to win, you have available. It may work out perfectly, scoreboard pressure does strange things to batting sides when they get their turn.

With the potential for more time being lost, I would have no issue if they declared at 320-350 and backed themselves to knock over a few bats. At best it’s a 4 day test, 350 is a big score.
I don't mind the format so much (the over exposure of it doesn't help). It's blokes playing for any old state and no Victorian Bushrangers ensure I never give a f!ck about our comp.

I'm a test cricket tragic. But a good ball, a good shot or a good catch are still good in t20s.
Just watched Behrendorf bowl the first over. Immaculate line and length, some swing and it's a maiden over.
For me, it's still enjoyable watching class play.

Just on McSweeney, he's just not up to opening t this level. No.4 at some stage could well be different.

Lots of people saying Smith dug himself out of a hole, turned his form around, had to grind it out etc etc. Yeah there was undoubtedly a bit of that but also I think people just forget that that is what a test match innings is supposed to look like. You do the hard work early then you cash in later once the ball is old, the bowlers are tired and the pitch is flat. It’s never easy strolling out at 2/ not much against the best bowler in the world with the ball doing a bit. Most of the time you can’t just start stroking it to the boundary from ball 1. Bazball and Travis Head have given us a warped view on things. What they do is not normal. Smith has never been a hugely fast starter.
