Australia v England, 3rd Test, 16th December , 23.30


That’s why I think we should have been aggressive and took it to them this innings, being defensive isn’t going to get you 450

We’ve got the balance pretty much perfectly right apart from two players; Duckett and Brook. Both were aggressive and added 30 between them. Brook was aggressive with stupid shots from early and got nowhere.

The way to play is how Crawley and Root played. Good balance between defence and attack. Wait for it and put it away whilst being busy in between.
 
Ponting was saying earlier that Lyon should bowl around the wicket, mainly for the lbw because it was moving off the wicket so much, but that was some ball
