[hawkman]

Good to see we can't even start on time. Great for the over rate already

 

[adogsfan5]

Let’s go Sammy boy!

 

[Joffaboy]

Leg stump guard, will be gone top of off.

I think McSweenys papers have been stamped a la bancroft.

No they haven’t. He’s the ideal Smith replacement which isn’t too long away if we are honest

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Here. We. Go!

 

[SC_Power]

Good luck Sam

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Rohit is back opening which makes sense. Feel the issue has been Reddy in so good form they had to fit a second spinner in.

Yeah fair, Reddy makes things a little awkward. Deserved to stay in but they needed a better fifth bowler

 

[SC_Power]

He's wants the first ball amazingly.

Khawaja didn’t want it.

Remember McSweeney got the same.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Swing early.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Can anyone read lips?

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

I think he wants to watch the ball.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Decent nut.

 

[Plugger35]

I think McSweenys papers have been stamped a la bancroft.

For this series at least, he might make it back for other series, I can't see Bancroft ever playing for Australia again at his age.

 

[BGman]

Who faces the first ball?

The baby of the side. He is nerveless, unlike those of us watching him.

Cant get a pair. Says he has his plans for Bumrah.

 

[Outtatym]

He's wants the first ball amazingly.

Does he, or is ussie playing for himself as usual?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Yeah fair, Reddy makes things a little awkward. Deserved to stay in but they needed a better fifth bowler

I’d have honestly considered dropping Shiraz

 

[Struggle]

Why is our experienced opener hiding at the non strikers end?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Bumrah's smug smirk the bastard

 

[hawkman]

Why is our experienced opener hiding at the bin strikers end?

Probably because Konstas wanted to face the first ball

 

[peternorth]

McSweeney will definitely play Test cricket again. Can’t think of any players would survive 70 runs in their first three Tests. He’ll be back for sure and will be better for the experience

Hopef so for his sake and also his mental health.

 

[k31th]

Seems to be looking to get bat on ball...

 

[Plugger35]

Konstas yet to get his bat on one, a couple of leaves and a few plays and misses.

 

[JackFlash]

Gee, he's got that Billy Idol look down pat...

 

[peternorth]

First session is vital

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Khawaja really is annoying me why isn’t he facing
