Much better fielding effort (led by Warner and Cummins)
Good use of bowling changes.
Cummins and Zampa found some form (though Zampa appears to be struggling with a side muscle issue).
And FINALLY, some input from 5/6/7 in the batting order with Inglis, Stoinis and Maxwell all playing decent roles.
With England's stumble, Oz would be eyeing off the 4th spot. Premature to say we are back in business, but at least our two losses are against 2 of the faves. Pakistan on Thursday is a.must win.

Interesting to see how the Aussies are dealing with the pressure in recent months. First we had the Bairstow dismissal (within the rules and legal) and now we have Starc threatening mankads in the first two overs of a match. I don't mind a mankad if a batsman is deliberately gaining an advantage, have to admit though the Sri Lanka player didn't look like he was doing a whole lot wrong, very borderline. For me it's a bit of a sign the players are feeling a lot pressure, i guess its a better way of going about it than getting the sandpaper out again.

You clearly didn't watch the first over when Starc was stopping in his action to remind Perera to stay in his crease until he releases the ball, Perera was a fair distance out and not looking when Starc was releasing the ball. It is not difficult for a batsmen to keep his bat (or body) grounded inside the popping crease (while backing up) until bowler releases the ball. The second time around Perera was fine but still wasn't looking when Starc was getting into his bowling action.

Lol what did I even just read. The difference between those scenarios is that mankadding involves blatant cheating by the batting side, rather than the fielding side.
It's very easy for a batsman to avoid being mankadded.

Exactly, the onus is on the batsman (Perera is this instance) to pay attention to avoid being Mankadded then it would never be an issue in the game.
Perera clearly wasn't paying attention and was being lazy (shown in the photo PP posted and Starc gave him a reminder to keep his bat in his crease until he releases the ball.
Whufc do you remember when Starc did the same to de Bruyn during the MCG test match against South Africa in the most recent summer here? In a post day chat Starc basically said if I have to keep my foot behind the line then the batsmen should be staying in his crease until I release the ball, so that's clearly his stance on it. I also remember him talking about it on a podcast too but I can't remember which one.
