How good is it watching stoic defense.

Not very stoic was it, very shaky he just wasn’t scoring runs.

 

[Galah]

Man Harris just isn’t at this level

 

[Fitzy]

Ok Marcus Harris is the shittest cricketer to ever play for this country but **** me you have to feel bad for the bloke. He scored tons like there lunch in shield but can’t do shit for Australia.

I was referring to Warner. Harris is absolute rubbish. To think guys like Love, Law, Maher, Siddons like played less tests combined, disgraceful.

Interesting comment I just saw on social media. Marcus Harris now has a lower batting average than Mitchell Starc. Not only that Mitch Starc has a higher score than him.

Yeah unless he breaks through for a big score in the second innings it time to look to someone else for Harris.

Very much so. Khawaja, Street, Hunt and Pucovski (obviously not available) are all significantly better than Harris and then you even have someone like Tim Ward who is applying his trade in Shield.

Just swivel and put it 20 rows back Marnus, they'll change their strategy

 

[Foordy]

I gotta say that i don't rate Harris ... but **** me, that was a screamer of a catch by Butler to dismiss him

 

[BroncosFever]

He's gonna have to have a go, matter of time before he gets out trying to fend one away from his rib cage

 

[mitch222]

So in picking 4 seamers I take it England don't care if they don't get paid this test then because they are already a fair few overs behind.

 

[mitch222]

I know I’m about 20-15 minutes late on this but was anyone impressed with the footage early on of how hands on Smith was in the huddle. Looked to be laying down the law. Whilst I don’t necessarily think this team works as well in an intense environment with Cummins being laid back I think it’s good to let the players know that someone will be there to drive the standards and set things straight if you start slacking.

I think Smith is gonna have a very big test match. He will be out to prove he still has a lot to offer as captain.

 

[BroncosFever]

Marnus is fighting hard, love to see him find a way, they've gone the ultimate negative tactic and he is still out there

From Cricinfo:

Andrew Leckonby: "Labuschange climbing up the rankings in the ICC top 10 Test Commentators too!" He offers more insight than most of the Fox mob.

Haha so true, so true.

This is brilliant by Labs, yes he was lucky getting dropped but he's just blunting England's attack. Stokes is bouncing him left, right and centre but all that is going to do is screw up Stokes already dodgy body.

 

[Fitzy]

Wow how quickly Warne went from hot the part timer out of the attack to be patient it’s almost the break.

I'm pretty sure it was mid-sentence in fact.

 

[Blindside Bronco]

Man, I am obviously not a fan of Guha's commentary as I've mentioned before but does she ever get a call right?

No, no, she is correct as much O'shutthefuckupKeefe is funny!!!

 

[Fitzy]

Great innings but that is not acceptable to do that 2 games in a row. Needs the patience to finish it off.
