WTF. Three n a half days of batting marathon for about 900 runs so then the Aussies decide to collapse on a road. Lazy bastards obviously worked too hard n want the game to finish in four days so they can have an extra RDO.
Add Warner to that.
Here's a stat for ya:
His last Test away hundred not including Bangladesh was 8 years ago - Oct 24th, 2014 vs Pakistan (in Dubai).
Including Bangladesh it was 2017.
How can that be justified.
Saving Warner is that the cupboard is pretty bare for openers.
Batsmen are so protected, though. They have no issue leaving out one of the best bowlers in the world for a fledgling leggie, but we can't leave out a proven failure against spin for a bloke who made 100 on a bunsen burner against India three Tests before he rooted Justin Langer's wife or whatever crime he committed.

Yes, good talents are Petersen and Jansen.
I like how Jansen pitches the ball up, another Bruce Reid, has just got Root LBW.
Root LBW again.
Full and straight and he struggles. Have never understood how teams have not worked this out. He is not a front foot player. Would love to know how many runs he has scored in front of the wocket as a % of his overall runs in comparison to his contempories. Would be very low.
Setup for a fascintaing series, the SA's have a pretty hot bowling lineup, wonder how attacking the poms will be?

Meek effort by England's batsmen. Back to normal for Bairstow, once again exposed by good pace bowling.
Crawley has youth on his side but he only reaches 50 once every seven innings in 26 Tests, only twice going on to a ton. Lees has only reached 50 twice in 16 Test innings with a top score of 67. Hard to make good scores consistently against quality attacks when your openers fail so often.
