Do you think it is due to a collective loss of confidence after a morale sapping series defeat to India, Baggers?

DC could be. I tend to aim towards lack of temperament and too much T20 cricket. Now our blokes are going to be warming up for the  Ashes with a smorgasbord of pyjama cricket.

Head doing his best to follow Harris.

What is point of having a batting coach.. he is a waste of space?

Something amiss if we do not get at least a 100 lead from here. Plenty of batting to come. Richardson is nowhere near a true #11.

Head dropped by the keeper - absolute sitter.

Now Australia at 4-193 are increasing the lead.

thats the name I was groping for.

Labu with his first Test tone.. a 110+ partnership. Still not sold on Head for England.. you DC?

Baggers

Head has one of the best records in Tests for us this summer.

I’m not sure who is in the ranks to replace him?

That is not very hi praise DC given his opposition. 

He looks too vulnerable against the moving ball. I want him no where near Jimmy Anderson.

Yeah - his bowling is horrid outside dustbowls. But he seems to have all the fundamentals of a test batsman...

Labu’s bowling was better in Hobart. For once Bellerive took a bit of spin in the third day.

He bowled a few flippers that nearly took wickets.

Marnus goes for 81. Superb knock from him. Someone whos inclusion I doubt but he played a beauty. Some consolation for missing out on a deserved 100 is he probably played himself into the Ashes

His bowling average will explode higher in tests. I'm calling it now.

But can he make himself into the next Steve Smudger?

Dumb by Lakmal here - too enthusiastic... this si why bowlers are not often wanted as captain...

Even if they get wickets - this is against the odds...

Gentle pop up - lapse of concentration... and odd field placement... NZ love that skinny field position too...

Love Kerry O'Keefe - just so analytical and so honest...

He is the media type Aus cricket needs more of. 

Heck - global cricket needs more of.
