His constant digs at Gilly are annoying. They're not even subtle. Like I get he's still salty about it, but do your job Heals.

Also Bell has looked really good in his last two innings, return to form or just some luck this test?

Gonna be intrigued to see how he does in the 4th test when Australia are even more fired up since they'll be 2-1 down.

Can't forget that he's moved spots and batting at the home ground

Probably a mix of the four

Preach it Nige.

Also, Healy was mentored as a commentator by Richie, correct? And what was Richie's no.1 rule as a commentator? Not to use 10 words when you could just use one. Nicholas and Healy use about 50 when they could use 1, and it just ruins the whole experience. I know I probably care a bit too much about this, but commentary is such a vital part of enjoying the cricket experience.

no commentary for me. a lot of the time I just chuck headphones in and listen to music

Bill Manspeaker

Good game, too good.

It'll be interesting to see what happens now both teams are on a more even playing field (being without their best bowler that is).

Siddle for Hazelwood another change.  Think we need him to keep it tight at one end.

Strongly against this.

Hazelwood was one of our better bowlers,
