Time for Australia to channel their inner Du Plessis - Love it.

Wouldn't Australia love a Faf in their team right about now?

Actually, never mind.

Interesting comment from Shane Warne, who has said he would have told Smith to drop that catch to keep Root out there.

Warney knows what's up.

Hahahaha, Shane is that you?  :o

I recon Rogers and Clarke, probably Hads, even Kawaja can, bat for almost two days that is, can anyone else? How's Watto's fitness, Hughes has scored bid hundreds!

Much depends on these two imo, could bat all day! Could! Anyway!

[AFEV]

I feel like Rogers will need to see off 300+ deliveries for us to be a chance.

Watson out lbw, again....

When was the last time Watson made a significant amount of runs?

Should be dropped, especially with the off-field stuff - IMO.

yeah I was very surprised when he was guaranteed a spot opening by boof before the first test. Hasn't scored runs in a long time, has actually looked in good touch at times this series, batted well with some lovely drives before he was out. Reckon opposition teams may have figured him out though, always a chance of getting him lbw as he plants that front foot so early, only a little bit of seam movement and you can get him.

Surprise surprise. Watson planted his front foot, bit of seam movement in and he's gone stone cold. Come on ussie!

I'm going to lock this thread now.... Will unlock it tommorrow night if people have calmed down and stopped all this nonsense. Trying to nip this in the bud before suspensions are handed out.
