I think Bairstow is changing his underwear about now... He had the look of fear in his eyes walking off... Don't blame him.... It's not county cricket now son!!!

Glad to be out of there I think haha

Jonny Bairstow might be able to flog around 130kph medium pacers, but he's got no heart against proper fast bowling.

Josh Hazlewood has been terrible in conditions where he should be thriving...Australia missing Ryan Harris and James Pattinson badly...

Duck and weave lads. Keep your eye on the ball though. Don't agree with turning the head.

Lees is a bit young in my opinion. If he keeps doing well then go for it! It would be good to get a young opener to stay there for many years and score runs.

I like Hales but maybe a one day specialist as I know his county champ form isn't great.

Mitchell Johnson  :o :o :o

Time for England to just see off this Johnson spell.

Who said test cricket was boring!

I defy any batsmen to play that delivery any different and not get out, thats just a bloody good ball and nothing to do with his technique as was the Stokes delivery

Exactly! My missus started by watching IPL, which she really enjoys, but loves test cricket even more. Think it was the series against NZ that hooked her in.

Its a lot easier when on the sofa than when you've got 0.25s to play it.

Sometimes you have to jut admit that the ball was too good for you and that was pure class from Mitch.

Solid block there from Buttler.

I like a good forward defensive me!

Facing genuine pace is a different kettle of fish and until you face it you don't realise as unless you are sure in your mind what you want to do reflexes take over and your hands naturally go towards the missile aimed at you to protect yourself

not seen the balls as at work but sometimes you just get a good one and this sounds like one of those times

I do think a lot of the English batsmen are not sure if they want to defend or attack though as if they are looking to defend they need to have low hands and be prepared to wear a few like langer used to but I think they are timid when facing genuine pace

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

I'd much rather have Peter Siddle than Mitchell Starc at this moment in time...
