I think the Aussies made a big mistake by leaving Bird out of the side

Couldn't agree more. He should have been in at the start of the series.

Not necessarily. Credit where it's due the Aussies batted really well yesterday. Technology again the talking point but this is more the contest we need anyway!

I agree gives us something to think about and more enjoyable to watch rather than us just turning them over every game

The question for me is will Australia stick with Rogers beyond this series or will they just say thanks very much and then turn back to a younger option?
Rogers is playing nice at present.

He's a certainty for the return Ashes series.

And I'd wager they'll want him for the 3 match series in South Africa.

The only way Australia could've got Bird in was if Siddle was axed.

Ryan Harris is their best fast bowler, for me he's top 3-4 in the world. Shame he's allows injured.

Pattinson and/or Starc give extra pace.

I guess Bird's non batting is against him.

Is Jackson Bird as good as people are making him out to be?

Probably not, but with an average of 16 after two tests he problem deserves another go.

I think Clarke wasn't keen on using the review. Warner was desperate and hoped that technology (or the humans deploying it) would goof up like yesterday.

Warner thought he hit his pad (which he did at the same time as he hit the ball) and therefore probably didn't feel the edge!
Clarke was probably swayed by the conviction that Warner showed, as he was sure he hadn't hit it!! Simple!!
