I agree with others I think S. Marsh is fortunate to have played as many Tests as he has. As I said last night I think it's obvious we need to start rebuilding after this series and no better time to start blooding guys than against Bangladesh. Adios Clarke, Haddin, Watson, S. Marsh, Voges and probably even Siddle. I could understand if the selectors keep Watson around he's good for 20-30 runs and although not a wicket taker anymore at least gives a pace bowler a spell.
Rogers is meant to be retiring at the end of this series but I'd be begging him to stay on for another 12 months or so not just for being our best bat this series but for some veteran leadership for Smithy to lean on.

Broad taught our bowlers a lesson about consistent line and more importantly...length!
Hate the $%stard but he's a great competitor.
We are lucky to hit the spot once an over.
20/20 bowling is what we are doing.
Something doesn't seem right in the team at the moment. Clarke batted with a black armband but didn't appear with it when we bowled?
Is it the Hughes spectre maybe?

If he could hit the pitch more often we would of been batting again yesterday. Bowls far too much tripe

This will be over today, old ball seaming around all over the shop. Aussies will fold like a pack of cards again

The gap between his best and worst deliveries is amazing.

We shouldn't be batting twice in a day

Of course not but he was shocking in those first few overs yesterday. He could be so much better

So was Mitchell Johnson in his first 20 tests. He now has 300+ wickets.
Starc will be a better bowler outside of Australia then Johnson as he has more weapons.
He just needs continuous test cricket and learn the caper of bowling 20 + overs a day, not just 10.

From the naked eye it hard to tell if he gloved it or not.

Good move by Cook declaring given the Aussies 2 maybe 3 overs before lunch. Both openers on a pair.
