Cummins just coughed one up with a front foot no-ball.
He was tight on the front line on nearly every ball he bowled, from the endless replays.

Langer was said to have been surprised by the call.Surely it’s not just paines decision and langer had a big input?
Whatever was a dumb decision, on 80% of tosses you win you bat, the other 20 you think about it then bat.
Geez that’s just crazyLanger was said to have been surprised by the call.
It’s far from the greatest side we’ve ever sent to England, in saying that wouldn’t take much to beat that England side, has to be close to their worst ever.Sheesh that’s a fragile batting top 5 (not including Labuschagne and Smith) : Harris, Warner, Wade, Marsh, Paine.
Surely one of them has to stand up.

Beggars belief. As bad as Cotchin's kick against the wind call. There is not one argument that supports bowling first.Tim Paine's character can't be questioned, but his captaincy certainly can be. If you send the oppo in and they make 300, it's a massive fail. Regardless, it was a defensive move, and a dumb one, considering the stats on England batting second, and the fatigue his key bowlers were clearly feeling. Cummins should have had an extra day and a half to put his feet up.
Well they already have a lead of 78, so even if they eke out 200 more runs we have to chase 278, sorry, Smith has to chase 278.Only thing in Paine's defence is that it's traditionally a chaser's wicket. Spinners have been sparingly used and when it does start to turn, it's usually slow turn.
This might be one of those occasions where 300 is gettable, even with our lineup. Just need to roll them for 200-odd...
