+x+x+x+x+xPicking Latham to get a century today. BC total 280. Marnus the surprise packet with the ball. Mitchell Starc just does not make the batsmen play enuff. Agree. Cummins and Josh H do very consistently over consecutive Tests. Patto did in the last Test, but lost pace, fire and accuracy yesterday IMO. Home and away in no particular order, Lyon, Paddy C and Josh H are usually our most consistent bowlers. Starc can be the most lethal at times. Our quicks may get some swing due to the overcast. Reckon there is some smoke haze too. I was hoping smoke haze had diminished in Sydney. Starc is getting reverse ATM I think.

+x+xPicking Latham to get a century today. BC total 280. Marnus the surprise packet with the ball. I’m not one for predictions, but BCs are having to withstand great GOAT pressure on a spinning pitch, Baggers. Does he really build all that great pressure. He can be very one dimensional at times when he is trying to hold up an end.

Kiwis only 1-99 off 42, but they'd love having wickets intact.

Good seeing Patto on back foot on a benign pitch for pace.

How would you you like to see GOAT vary his approach, Baggers?

How would you you like to see GOAT vary his approach, Baggers? Cant answer that. Only he can. I do believe tho that a finger spinner is less likely to build pressure than a wristie who has a variety of deliveries to confuse a batsman.

That Kiwi bloke, Paddles, who seems to know a lot about cricket, was saying Raval isn't up to test standard. I wonder what he thinks now as Raval makes 25 off 38 balls?

Baggers, I thought Patto pitched up in Melbourne?
Does he need to adjust his length for the Sydney pitch?

He has bowled a few on leg stump/leg side. Should we we have pulled Lyon from the attack as he was causing probs, for supposed current reverse swing benefits?

This seems to be where Cummins shows his superiority over Patto and Starc - bowling effectively on a flatter deck.

Kiwis now 1-114 off 48 overs. Our attack is having to bowl under more scoreboard pressure, and Kiwis can bat under less pressure.

Pattinson is far too short on this deck. Two quick wickets and the Kiwis are in a spot of. There goes my Latham prediction. He did not do a lot wrong as I saw it. Ponting said the ball held up in this spongy pitch.

Taylor coming in has a 46 average, must hit form soon.
What? Cummins gets Latham out caught at mid on for 49!

I’m amazed Patto has replaced wicket taker Lyon?
Change of end?

Definitely some more venom in this Patto spell.
I can’t identify reverse swing, but balls are deviating off pitch.

Australia must be pleased with this session - 3 wickets for about 60 runs. Surprised Head is bowling before Marnus? Shot - Taylor square drive for 4.
