Pointless. Another example of sqeezing things in to crammed schedules. Gone are long winter and summer tours. Turn up, play a couple of games and so off as quick as possible.

Pretty sure they, like everyone except the big 3, lose money on tests. Not really a case of being stuffed with shorter series, they choose to play less.
ICC/Ind/Eng/Aus need to sort their greedy shite out and stop test cricket from dying. Were the only countries that play 3+ test series anymore, it's f***ing shit.

Yeah shit choice of captain as it's like playing with 10 men how he's been bowling recently.
Great batting by these two. A very good 50 partnership.
Feel this is gonna be a ton one.

10th wicket partnership is the highest of the innings
Got quite a lot worse!

Decent little recovery going on here but still massively up against it…

Kane Williamson with an absolute shocker of a run out.

The Aussies are looking like a very destructive test team. If they can keep this team together for one last ashes series (especially the bowlers) it looks like another very uncomfortable tour down under for England.
Gary is flying here
Most test runs without a 50, wonder if he could get there

Hazlewood will be 34/35
Starc 35/36
That's a massive ask for a 4 man Attack.

Jimmy Anderson will be 75/76.

They’re a very old team and they don’t seem to be given many younger players a chance.
They’ve not promoted a youngster to open following the retirement of Warner instead they’ve moved their best batsman up the order.

Khawaja 37
Head 30
Marsh 32
Carey 32
Starc 34
Cummins 30
Hazlewood 33
Lyon 36
They will be in a huge transition in a couple of years.

How is it normal to not play your direct neighbouring rival more often?
Ahhh I realised you're a bcci sanctioned poster. Says it all.

Totally agree! if they all make it probably after the ashes. But what an incentive for them to go out on another ashes victory.
