we always got told "never look at the scoreboard whether you are miles ahead or behind. However you play the last hour is how you'll start the next match. Even if you are getting flogged if you win the last hour you have a good chance in the next match. If you are way ahead but lose the last hour you let them back in the next match"

why waft at a wide ball?

head looks pretty comfortable leaving balls he doesn't have to play at actually

I wonder how close this would be if the marsh bros were replaced with maxwell and burns

Keep chipping away boys.

head sweeping at balls he doesnt need to play at

Positive footwork Ussie.

I think people are being a bit hard on Shaun Marsh, he has done quite well when he has played and he is rotated through every batting position, no chance to build any consistency.

50! Travis Head.

head keeps sweeping at balls outside leg

yeah his 1st class average has crept over 40

That is why it is time for him to go. Good batsmen can handle any position. If he has not cemented his position after 7 years he never will. 

Test average tho is @37.

pace looks pretty effective, ball darting around a bit

Interesting?

Probably nerves.

Considering how potent Shah looked in his first few overs, I’m not sure he has taken a wicket yet?

Agree with you, Baggers.

That is abysmal for a specialist batter.

Standing up to the stumps to a bowler who is bowling 130 kph is surprising.

Usman has really come of age in Asia with two scores of well over 50.

100 partnership.. good grafting by these two.

200 up thru good application.

3-193 doesn’t look too bad.

I’ve got to go out and destroy some brain cells!

We will hold the fort while you are destroying brain cells.

That was an excellent session, but i still feel these two need to see out another session for us to draw this. I have no hopes for the rest of the team to last more than a minute each.

Head goes LB for 72.

Has played himself into the next Test.

Redemption for Uz with his first Asian century.

And 5 down now, Labuschagne completely misread the line of the ball.

Oh Marnus! Is that end of our struggle?

Cricinfo said the UAE pitches come to life in the middle session of the last day.

Reckon he misread length more. Was that Shah's slider?
