Being here live have to say it was insipid batting effort by Australia

Can't blame the pitch for a number of the dismissals. Green, Khawaja were both the result of poor shot selection. No excuses

What has become apparent at Test level is the in so many cases the complete lack of footwork

Scotty Boland survived all 6 deliveries as the nightwatchman. Dropped in the slips and then hit a four with the last ball .

Aussies 0/4 at stumps.

Aussies lead by 46 runs.

First time since 1951 that 20 wickets have fallen on the first day in Australia. First time in Melbourne since 1901.

Record cricket crowd at the 'G of 94,199.

Amazing crowd

As for the “dropped catch”, I didn’t think it carried?

Didn't carry IMO

The replay looked like it carried. Tough chance low and to the left.

Obviously,  the HUN couldn't find a pic of the jumper they are talking about. They were talking the H&A jumper of 2004 not the one on the left which was kur heritage jumper that season
