4 byes from Watto, noice.

I reckon Ballance and Root have done well to steady the ship a bit here consider how well we started. Root especially is looking really good.

Off topic but Stoinis hit 6 6's from an over:

Harris > Starc is being seriously underrated by most. That downgrade in itself has made this series much, much closer.

Can't disagree whatsoever.

Starc is actually terrible because he bowls so wayward and these two guys don't need to score 6 an over off him.

He did, but who wouldn't at the start of their innings? Especially someone who is in danger of losing their spot in the side. I'm not denying the issues with his game though.

Been saving my first post for gold,

who else #comfy here? Cheesecake+cricket+heater on+listening to David Gilmour in one ear = comfy af

[Nige]

I reckon Joe Root deserves the ton here, has batted really well.

I'm hanging out for him to get it and that'll be me done for the night.

[Bill Manspeaker]

no cheesecake Jukesy but we got a similar setup crackin

[Nige]
