Take that 118 out and Aus wouldn't even reach 250. Completely bossed the aussies. Spared no one. 17 4s and 4 sixes... 

 

He is not going to be consistent. They would want their main guys to step up in the 2nd innings.

[vvvslaxman]

Apart from Marsh and Head this Aussie side is somewhat timid. 

[Kothili]

How charitable of the Sun to come out when England gets close to batting.

[Lord]

They have ruined Marsh's effort. Still good total

[vvvslaxman]

There was a series where India could have won 3-2 but we ended up losing 1-4. That is going to be the case for England.

[Kothili]

Beaten for pace. Zinger.

[sage]

Pace is pace yaar

England would've won that 1st test if they had 95mph Wood to bowl at the tail enders

Mitch Marsh selection was excellent. He smacked the fast bowlers all over the park. He was enjoying high pace rising short thunderbolts bowled at 90-94 mph. Wood would have injured Gujara and Woakes would have scalped our top 4 in a hurry. It was very hostile spell in the morning completely demolished by Marsh. 

You can say anything about ghujara but he ain't getting injured by bouncers. Yes he sucks now for the last 2 3 years. But he is not afraid of getting hit or taking blows. Got to give him credit for that.

Marsh enjoyed their style of bowling.  Also he was in T20 mode. This is a fast scoring ground.

Mark Wood is one guy i enjoy watching. Great spectacle when you watch pacy ball knocking the poles.

Cummins is hated for his icy cool pres conferences lol

Not enough against bazball on yet another dead pitch.

Gujara would have been hailed for that injury 

[vvvslaxman]

Mark wood is breathing fire.

[sage]

All you need is sheer pace to skittle the tail

Why do teams struggle so much to figure that out?

[nitinbwj]

That's PACE!!!!!!  that Eng missed. 

[Kothili]

Duck out. No rear guard action from Oz this time.

[vvvslaxman]

That one is sure gone. Beaten for raw pace. Pearler. They are late by an hour.

its not a dead pitch. There's enough bounce and movement.

 

They'll miss Hazelwood though.
