Those wickets were more to do with the batter than the bowler

Let's be honest most wickets are.... unless someone is out attempting a defensive shot generally it considered a wasted wicket.

I mean is Heads really a gimmy.....thats the way he bats, if he isn't trying to hit that he might as well go play lawn bowls. Plus it was a real decent catch.

The last time in Australia they lost the first two wickets at the same score, and the 3rd and 4th wickets at the same score - 2016, in Hobart, v RSA:
1/2 (Warner)
2/2 (Burns)
3/8 (Khawaja)
4/8 (Voges)

So what happens now for the 4th test with Uzzie making runs?
What if Inglis makes runs as well?

Green fails again?

?

I was refering to Archer's wickets. Head isn't a traditional test opening batsman, it's kinda like the Konstas innings but better, it got the result once but not really sustainable, I'd imagine Head would be pretty dangerous if he was out there at this time of day.

It buys Uzi a berth for the rest of the series and then he retires after the Sydney test.

Green has immunity, if they can't acknowledge that Webster is a more complete test player than him must mean that he is going to have to perorm very poorly to get dropped.

I would rather pick my nose than Uzi, but good luck to him, can’t do more than he has so far.
