Any evidence of this, where would you find such a stat?

No stat, just my opinion from watching him over the years.

From the little I saw today certainly didn’t look as comfortable as he did Friday afternoon

Geeeez theres been some terrible dismissals in this Test by top order batsmen from both teams and Heads was one of them.
What the F*** was he trying to do with that shot apart from giving catching practice?
Just shows to me that not many batsmen have the mental application to bat long periods of time at the top level these days
Handscomes shot was diabolical to be dismissed.
I can handle seeing batsmen being dismissed by good balls but not from shocking footwork and techniques but if thats the best we have then so be it and good luck to them making a mint in the T20 garbage.

At FC level he has 33x 50’s and 7x100’s

Lyon getting Kohli was a nice way to end the day but we are just too for behind to win now and need a miracle to bowl them out quickly enough to lessen their lead, won't happen. Our bowlers have bowled well, it's just disappointing our batsman can't back them up.

Trav's conversion rate isn't great obviously but it was nice to see him score runs in a pressure situation.

You blokes are never happy.. forever the pessimists. Head did all Head could do - shit he got the Aussies within 15 runs of India. .. bit noooo always something to pick on.

There is no one who could handle this period of transition as well as Paine. He is a good leader; diplomatic and composed. And his keeping is excellent.
Carey is clearly the heir apparent but if he replaced Paine now who would possibly lead?

Absolute rubbish, pick the best 11 and then pick a Captain.
People talk about the Marsh's having a few photo's, Tim Paine must have an entire album

stan wrote:Great effort from Head yesterday. Hopefully he can hang in there for a while today. Also hopefully the tail can hang around as well.

So what is in store for us all today:
- How many can head get to.
- How close can we get to the Indians total.
- How much will this bit of rain effect the pitch this morning.
- Is Carey still alive

So many questions to be answered today.

Just and i seriously mean just.

Mrs coming today. Have you ever tried to drive with the handbrake on? That’s my challenge today.

I hear you Carey. My missus came with me to Boxing Day last year.

That’s poor CM, very poor.

I’m extremely rusty this morning but I’ll still be at the bar at 10.01

Guilty as charged.

Right back to the cricket or the bar in some cases. But I reckon we are toast already. The Indians already have to many runs.

Just too many holes in that top order even though Harris looked ok and Khawja and Handscomb showed intend but only head was able to out together a score.

The tail showed they are willing and Lyon showed how it's done. He look fairly comfortable actually out there.

Who wins this first hour this morning wins the test match. Looks good conditions to bowl in if Starc can get it talking and Hazlewood sticks to his McGarth line and length roll em under a 260-70 lead it’ll be the Aussies for mine.

But, the above said if these 2 can grind out the first hour even if for only 20-25 runs it’s all over.

F**k I love test cricket stick the rest of the slap and giggle shit up you’re ass if I wanted to see fire works and dancers I’d go hip vegan Mardi Gras turn out not the cricket!

9.57am. Carey approaches the bar...
