Not sure if anyone has posted this previously, but David Warner is using a new Forma helmet, first Aussie I think to wear one for the country




I just noticed this but wasnt sure what brand . I saw the strange ear guards and the red tape over the branding.  Wonder if he used this lid in the 1st innings ?

Root has to try to keep the run rate down to exert some pressure but don't look like he trusts Ball to do that.

This is the danger we thought as he keeps going to Anderson and broad all the time they are racking up the overs. Woakes and ball have not bowled great quite right, and Lyon has spun it much more than Mo has.

Aussie pitches always have been you need to hit them hard to get anything out of them, and the ball does not have much movement off the seam.

However.....we are short on runs, without runs in the bank you can't win test matches.

Yep , you guys needed 400 in 1st innings  (and really should have got it too).

Doubt that. It could be an Albion helmet.


Its got a funny dial adjuster on the back like a forma ....not sure if any new albions have that .

Just got up and what ?!?!

OK we could / should have put on more in the 1st innings.
After their start in the 1st, Australia should have not have been allowed to get.

The England 2nd innings was more like we could have been expected.

But what has happened in the 4th - no wickets ??

True it is quite possible. The dial on the back does look like a Forma. I will take back my comment!

One negative for oz in this test is that only 4 batsmen (+cummins) have made runs or spent much time at the crease . England however have had 6 bats make runs/time at the crease . Englands batsmen should rue the fact that none of them went big , but they should feel confident form wise .

Ball and woakes look like bola machines set to back of a length with zero bias/movement .

Perhaps moeens finger injury isn't helping him this innings but Ball and Woakes are looking very , very ordinary a.t.m .


Ali spoke to abc radio just now. He reckons his finger ripped open after 15 overs in the 1st innings and badly affected him then , but said it was fine today and that he just bowled "rubbish".

And? I was hoping others would chip in on this. putting talent on the side Stokes bring confidence and charisma to this team, his intangibles is missing
