Thought Kolhi calmed the hell down as captain and his bowlers really responded today to him. Good leadership.

Great game, so intriguing and I think low scoring scrappy games are the best cricket games. Webster stood tall literally and controlled the bounce, he played more cross bat shots than anyone this Test and he got over the top of everything not playing it straight and nicking off- I said...

The time off has to be back on the field before you can bowl.

Two games at the SCG this year- only one 100 and nine 50's- if you can get a 60-90 you're working hard and scoring well.

When Tasmania beat the Blues at the SCG- Webster got 49 and 61 and his old Tigers' mate Bird bounced him all over the place. He will hook and pull it's just like Hobart. Scores were really close and Tasmania had to take 10 wickets on the last day and did it with 55 runs to spare.

Smith 21 runs to 10000.

Real alpha batting here- mongrel junk yard dog stuff.

He has been playing it- the fun loving 19 year old that wears sneakers to see the PM- throws grenades under the door then hides behind the umpire to stop the big mean Indians and then at stumps, after causing problems gets straight off- not too much mongrel at stumps yesterday. The Indians will...

He clearly did instigate yesterday. He picked a fight he didn't have to. He would have been better swapping his gloves not telling Bumrah to shut up and bowl wasn't a fight he needed. He can't go after people and then play the poor me I am only 19 card when they come back at him. Kohli and the...

There is no stat for being annoying. If he's under his skin but out for 15 not sure Bumrah cares too much.

We are going to know the impact of that niggle soon. If India galvanise and pull together because they feel their captain and leader has been aggrieved and win the Test then Sam is going to have to wear that blame. Waugh used to always say don't sledge Lara, nothing not a word it will just make...

His movement and balanced is so scrambled, he should have pressed forward to that ball this afternoon and instead he sort of plays back and nicks off.

Not sure how rattled he is, he has 31 wickets at 12 this series and 10 of those have come since Konstas debut. We went down this mindless chat path with Warner and he wasn't smart enough to learn how and when to do it and how to target players with intelligence.

It's his MO, he hasn't played against Queensland yet but few Bulls boys have played with and against him and say he loves the chirp and banter. It's great to be young and brash but you need to pick fights that help your team too- sledging the Laras or Tendulkars or Bumrahs of the world just...

Handscomb, Murphy and Kuhnemann in Sydney for Test match fielding. Pretty good indicator they’re going to Sri Lanka.

My Test Team of the year. Jaiswal- 15 Tests, 1478 runs. Duckett-17 Tests, 1149 runs. Root-17 Tests, 1556 runs. Mendis-9 Tests, 1049 runs. Brook-12 Tests, 1100 runs. Ravindra-12 Tests, 984 runs. Carey- 46 dismissals 440 runs. Henry-48 wickets Bumrah-71 wickets Hazlewood 35 wickets Joseph-29...

Richardson released to play tonight, so he will be injured for Sydney.

Yes I know but that hasn't happened. Kettleborough, Gaffaney and Illingworth have disappeared and replaced by Wilison, Gough, Saikat. The match referee has gone from Madugalle and replaced for the last two Tests by Pycroft.

Weibgen joined the Thunder as a local replacement player reward for his 133* last week and his 306 runs in the T20 Max. Staker joins Heat as local replacement player.

Why was the Umpires changed after Brisbane? Don't they normally do the whole series? They're changing again for Sydney, Wilson is on the TV role.
