Starc gets Cook in the 3rd over but it's a no ball. Beyond unacceptable in this day and age. I hope the team has a hefty fine system in place for it.

+xAnd it is won, the painfully slow Renshaw and Handscomb at the wicket.
Renshaw is an aberration.
He is more of an old fashioned high order batter, like David Boon, Bill Lawry and Mark Taylor, who leave a lot of balls to fly through to the keeper. Hence, the bowler wastes energy. Other players who played with Boon, like Greg Blewett, loved the way Boon made bowlers come to him and play his game, no theirs.
Late in his career, the English worked Boon out by making him reach to good length balls outside his off stump.
Renshaw soaked up a lot bowling energy and shine from the new ball from South Africa, despot his slow scoring rate. I didn't see a lot runs scored in his two innings. If he can take regular singles, this is excellent batting given the frequent fast scoring rate from the batters lower in the order and Warner..
We all know how how frustrating batters like Boycott, Edrich and Dravid and could be as opponents. They based their batting around a very good defence.
Hopefully, Renshaw plays no limited overs cricket.
