Good job Aussies
Fancy letting the deodorant avoiders handle us on our own deck like that


Out: Smith, Marnus

In: Pierogi, Browning  :shh

Agree with your outs

But won't happen, the selectors haven't got the guts to make tough calls

Pathetic 2nd innings bowling effort thus far.

The Captain needed to lead from the front like Bumrah did and he didn't

Marnus Labuschagne has scored just one century in his past 40 innings - and his horror run is now firmly in the spotlight.

A shadow of the player he was, is his spot in the Australian side under threat?

Just a pathetic day

No spirit, no fight, no leadership

Marnus and his selfish burning of a review sums up where Australia is right now

I for one am shocked that a team which last summer prioritised giving Warner a farewell tour and allowed Smith in middling form at best to open the batting instead of blooding the next generation of youngsters has been beaten convincingly on home soil by a reserves side.
