Someone needs to tell Starc that this is Test cricket. Bowling a proper line and length will build pressure. Instead of continually trying to bowl the magic ball...

Loads of people tearing into Bairstow, "Not good enough", "Never be a test cricketer", "found out by the short stuff" etc...

Why's nobody gunning for Stokes? Virtually identical dismissals. Just 2 very good deliveries in my book.

Stokes scored a hundred at Perth so showed he can bat against fast bowling

Bairstow scored a very gutsy 90 versus a rampant Steyn & co

Starc gets Root. Get Johnson on now to run through the rats and mice.

90 isn't a 100 my friend. And I'd go as far as suggesting Johnson in the Ashes 2013/14 Ashes was more hostile yet than South African attack Bairstow faced.

If England get a lead of 100, Australia will have to bat outta their skins to get 400 in the second dig.

I reckon lead of around 100 with aussies getting around 300 2nd innings and will be a thrilling finish

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.
