[Third test] England v Australia - Perth

Which is part and parcel of opening the batting in test cricket. It’s not like he’s narrowly missed it - he was nowhere near it.

You’re right I’m making excuses for him as I desperately want him to succeed but it looks ominous for him at present.
 
Ponting predicted a 4 nil win for Australia at the breakfast I was at this morning. Expects a draw in Melbourne cos of rain

Andy Flowers said Peiterson was like having Trump in your team

David Wiley hit 24 off an over at the new stadium last night which looks spectacular. Also has a new son that he considered calling Ivor.

Justin Langer is a funny bloke.
 
Well this game’s moving along quickly.

Andy Flowers said Peiterson was like having Trump in your team

Flower would say that wouldn’t he. Was never a problem until they got hammered and they needed a scapegoat.

Stoneman needs to get under these short balls. He’s not going to get away with constantly trying to ride them.

He didn't knock his cricket and said it was sad the way pietersons international career ended

He’s certainly right about that. England’s upper middle order has been very sad ever since!

Hopefully today’s the day. It’ll need them to start playing these short balls better though.
 
Morning all. I just got up to watch the meteors but of course you can't even see the sky. So catching some cricket instead. Rocky's got some nerve mind. I'd be taking strike on the boundary.
 
Already looks like England have decided not to just let Lyon bowl. Better late than never. We aren’t going to get back into the series by letting him bowl at less than 2 an over.

How many times does Justin Langer have to mention that Australia won the toss and bowled, before someone tells him that England won the toss?

For fucks sake Vince. What is it about this England team and getting out to completely innocuous balls?
