One could argue that Steve Smith was so disgusted by Konstas' antics, that his reaction time in the slips was 0.5 seconds slower and caused him to drop that flukey inside edge chance.

It needs to be a cultural shift, India and England play far more as a squad nowadays with players more accepting of rotations depending on conditions and workloads whereas we still prefer to have a settled XI with minimal change. The one time we tried rotations with the bowlers there was a real pushback against it but it's something we should be revisiting and accepting as a part of the modern game.

I don’t think there would be another Aussie cricketer that could die that would get as many tributes as Warnie.. they’ll be talking about him year in year out
The Marsh cheer squad will find a reason to defend his ongoing selection …. however:
118km medium pace?

Yeah it's a tough one risk winning it all or losing or just bat it out and go to scg 1-1.

Yep dangle the carrot but not so much we can easily be 2-1 down.

Compare it to the amount Symonds gets.
Warne is the greatest of all time though.
Symonds was a tragedy cricket australia let him down.

Dropped? No.
Use the full squad to our advantage to play to everyone’s strengths, keep everyone fresh and maximise results? Yes.
This will be back to back 5 test series where we’ve got progressively worse after looking like the best team for large parts of it.
I understand wanting to play our best as much as possible but it’s clear it doesn’t work and it’s not like the next blokes in line are spuds. Neser, Boland and Richardson would all be fine next to 2 of the others.

Not really I would argue his issues with alcohol let him down
They'll be forced to dangle a slender target after being predictably bowled out for 180 in the 2nd dig: my prediction.
Day 3 is moving day in any test and we have only managed to run backwards.

They don't have a Boxing Day test in NZ like Australia and South Africa, it's usually ODIs and T20s there at this time of year.
He’s too ‘marketable’ with his wife to be a pink ball only bowler to Cricket Australia, but he’d definitely be ‘rested’ for Melbourne and Sydney every year.
Probably shouldn’t play in Perth either.
But hey you obviously love the marketing so fall in love with his incompetence because once a year he takes a bag of wickets…

How can I believe you about something that hasn’t happened yet?
I can agree or disagree with your speculation but you may as well come out and trash a band for an album they haven’t written and released yet.
One of the guys they are bowling to has already played a better innings than this one in Australia with a series on the line so it’s not like he can’t bat. The other is arguably their form batsman coming into this match aside from KL Rahul. This isn’t Chris Martin and Makhaya Ntini they are bowling to. They aren’t just going to hand over their wicket because Australia wants them out and the fact is Pant, Jaiswal and Sharma all basically got themselves out in some capacity as it is so it’s not as though they were 7-down due to incredible bowling/tough conditions and then Australia suddenly went ‘oh ok we will stop doing what we are doing and go away from these incredible plans that have made it impossible to bat.’

Marsh here is interesting.
I certainly hope not.
But it wouldn't surprise me.
This innings needs to be over in 30 minutes or less.
So you’ve had an hour break and you start with the part timer?
