Great efforts once again from Paddy. Still a chance if we don't break momentum early tomorrow morning.

Agree with this. Stop trying to push the issue. Just play your natural game FFS.
It's what India do and now that the ship has sailed it's how Cummins and Lyon are batting - time is not an issue so just play every ball on its merits.
We only had to make 300 in the first innings and we'd have won this Test already.

Declared twice and lost - only happened twice in Test cricket:

The biggest shame about this Aussie team is we have a great bunch of bowlers who are good to watch.
But the batting lineup is garbarge i just cannot watch them.
This side has nothing about it when its batting to make me want to watch it.

Certainly was a sporting declaration today. They've completely torched us for three quarters of the match, but maybe a touch of arrogance crept in.

The most entertaining thing about watching the BBL on TV is the banter in the commentary box.

33 Test hundreds is not to be sneezed at, but a surprise all the same.
According to Wiki, first English cricketer knighted since Alec Bedser in the 90's (excluding Botham who received one for his charity work). Bradman's a bit lonely out here. Didn't know Bill Woodfull turned down a knighthood.
Hard to tell what an ex player offers as a coach, however Brad Haddins style as a batsman would have to be the worst attitude our batsman could have a5 this point, Haddin just about always just tried to blast his way out of trouble, that’s the last thing we need, patience and grit is what all our top order need , though I still think this is not a great period of producing naturally talented test batsman. Still don’t get how so many elite junior talent can come through the path with poor defensive techniques .
Incredible difference in knowledge and understanding of the game between Border and one of our selectors in M Waugh , edit , both just said we have to stick with Shaun Marsh , Mark Waugh says his been unlucky . Hit the ball in the middle of the bat and you don’t need a lot of luck.

I’ve been to a couple since the BBL started , I’ve found it an entertaining couple of hours, very much aimed at the kids, one every couple of years is enough as I can’t link myself to any team.tigertim said:
Has Maxwell been mentioned at all to come in for Sydney ?
I have been to two bbl games and unfortunately both were over after 5 overs in the second innings. It is perfect for tv.
