Yes and to be fair he has actually bowled well at times. Figures are good, however I still think they want to get Broad on ASAP in these conditions.

This is all very odd at the moment. A very good first hour for Australia adding 53 runs for no loss.

And bow here is Broad.

And he gets rhe wicket.

His a tall guy, his short ball just has more in it than the others.

Why he didn't bowl in the first hour is beyond me.

I was hoping Smith and Khwaja would graft there way to a lead of 300 + and the it would allow Head and other to play more freely.

Pretty much every test team struggles with continous short pitch bowling.

Bowl full in modern test cricket and batsmen can hit you 360 degrees.

Bowl short and batsmen are restricted to 180 degrees
