While Lehmann was laying on the massage table, trying to recuperate from yet another marathon 8 ball innings, a mini recovery to get us to 4/60 was underway. Should be looking to just occupy the crease at least until Tea, and what happens? A friggin' run out!!!!!! WHY???!!!! Aggression is all very well, but stupidity is not.

I think opposition teams have Lehmann worked out. Give him one early that he can smash for 4, give him a false sense of security and then get into him. He has now made 37 runs in the past 8 innings at a blistering average of 6.38. I am just so over him it's not funny.

I was surprised Lehmann got another contract.
I was even more surprised Lehmann was made captain.
I'm not suprised at his form.
There is no-one else.....

SACA might have to channel the 1977 Australian selectors who coaxed Bob Simpson out of retirement at 42 to lead the test team which had been decimated by the World Series Cricket defectors...

Boof Lehmann?
Greg Blewett?
Jamie Siddons?

It is beyond embarrassing.
 
It's embarrassing.

To his credit, Manenti is pretty good with the bat.
It feels like every game - i may be exaggerating - but it definitiely feels that over 50% of the time, the final 5 wickets make more runs than the first 5
 
Well would've taken that at 4-16 but we were looking like having a handy lead at one stage.

Manenti has to bat higher doesn't he? No longer a fluke, he keeps doing it.

Good that JFM actually looked to apply himself, has plenty of talent, no doubt about that.

Hopefully have them 2fa at stumps.
 
Wasn't Fraser-McGurk dropped for a match not long ago? Seems like a ridiculous decision looking at the form of some others in the team, including the so-called 'leader', who probably should have already played his last game at state level.
