[Jase]

true, probably nothing to do with the fact that he's swinging it sideways ...

...at pace and accurately...yeah need to watch more video that would help...

I'm actually an England fan (he says ducking for cover ) and I'm interested to hear the thoughts of the esteemed members of this list on Ricky opting to bat...and his continued struggles while on this tour and somewhat earlier than this...?

Australia will always bat first we always have, if our players are in trouble they chuck themselves in the deep end to perform.

you see the past when players are under fire then they perform under the gun

8-82 now, our only hope is T-Pain

You win the toss and you bat first. If in doubt you think about it then you bat first

The issue has been raised before (Sydney Test 2010 against Pakistan springs to mind) and the end result well and truly justified the decision.

PA won the toss and put AU in to bat the previous two tests and LOST
Agree with Professor Roosters anology on winning the toss and batting first

8/83
