FMD. What a stupid *smile* optimist I almost was. One for 60 odd overnight n with a hint of intelligent batting today a score of around 200 should have been within reach and a riveting finale would have been on the cards.
Hey look India, the Aussies have found a shiny new batting stroke. It's called the cross bat slog, best performed with the eyes firmly closed for maximum effect.
Missed the Head wicket n Labia got beat all ends up by a low one, at least they made a few honest runs. For the rest it was nothing more than a display of pitiful incompetence.
Might need to start up a collection n buy the boys some new brooms so they're at least half a chance of sweeping properly.

The question is, how and why did he make it back this time.
Dunno but the one person licking his lips at at this calamity is Marcus Harris. Warners test form (bar 1 knock) over the last 13 months has been very ordinary and him getting injured may well save him from getting dropped. Then Renshaw comes in and has been pretty ordinary in his test cricket return this year: 5*, 0, 2 & 2: ave of 3!

Yeah Harris and Bancroft.
 
Can't remember too many Indians getting out to stupid sweep and reverse sweep shots. What happened to the days when players used their feet to get to the pitch of spin bowling:mad:

How is test rankings done for the GF in England in June? Seems like England keep winning but are not in the hunt.
 
what a terrible performance. pathetic. 7 wickets from sweeps! 7! What has happened to Smith? Back to the pack.

Sweeps are more for Tests even though rare, but you can sense a T20 habit in some batsmen.

Smith looked spooked today. Not a good sign.

Renshaw out LBW 3 times in a total of 16 balls faced. Another brilliant selection decision by Dumb (Bailey) and Dumber (McDonald).
