The batting needs a complete overhaul.

He’s always had a terrible technique but his superior hand eye movement has covered for him.
That’s no longer the case.
Yes he’s clearly on the decline as happens to many batsmen passed their peak. The way he drifts across though, geez he’s lost where his stumps are. Even his review seemed like a bloke with no idea where he was standing, he half started to walk off before the replays commenced. It was reminiscent of the kinds of desperation reviews that Watson used to do when trapped plumb.

might be in a bit of strife here

We deserve this. So many of them are out of form.
I love Green. But geez we’re leaning on him heavily at the moment.

Imagine what Bumrah, Shami, Jadeja and Ashwin will do to this batting line-up? Could be a whitewash.

Nz will somehow throw this away. They lost the first test more than us winning it, and with their record against us I'm sure they'll do it again

Sears after the t20 probably should have been in the xi for the first test. Has that cya next Tuesday about it that can ruffle a few feathers

I think we’re down to Usman and Cummins as the only players left over the past 12 months or so that the public haven’t wanted dropped or not picked in the team in the first place. It’s amazing these same blokes fluked their way to being test and one day champions and keeping the ashes in an away series during that time.
Sure this looks like being a big loss, but we are actually allowed to lose every now and then. Especially away from home. Whether better or worse these players are going to turn up for next summer in very different form to whatever we’re seeing today.

First time I’m watching him play, and I like the cut of his jib. Surprised he didn’t feature in the first Test, he’s a handful this guy.

We also tied a home series with the lowest ranked side. And kept a poor Pakistan in the game for longer than they should have been

There's still the mental side of it on the shoulder of the nz side to manage to get these final 6 wickets. It's going to be a great test battle on day 4

No. They didn't.
Were outgunned.

No we're not. Clearly it causes meltdowns.
/Sarcasm.
The top 7 will be persisted with as the options at shield level are subpar.
Webster is starting to mount a good case. 42 ave the year prior and 52 before that.
But is probably the 3rd best allrounder behind Marsh and Green.
Bancroft and Handscomb have been tried and IMO aren't the answer.
Bullet watch on Ollie Davies from NSW if he can back up his breakout season next summer.

With a number 4 on a tear. If it was a no.9 and no.11 going nuts and scoring a big ton then sure.
Losing by 174 isn't them throwing it away.
They were outgunned as the minnows they are.

A record 10th wicket partnership they conceded of 116 saw them go in to face us already beaten.
They had us where they wanted to be after the top 7, but lacked the killer edge to get us out for 250.
Take nothing away from Green and his innings, but it's equally them as a collective throwing it away as it was his stellar performance. The rest of the side of the top 7 barely deserved their match payments
