Was a great effort to keep us in the game, im afraid that with the bowling lineup they selected we might need another 500 though.

Great to see Hameed take first ball so that Burns wasnt under as much pressure

That’s a good spot @Warneymonster and is a little sign of good team work. Liked Hameed first time round and hope we stick with him. I think most of us think while Sibley had the temperament there was not enough in the locker to release pressure on himself and his partner.
Hameed seems to be a bit more of a natural scorer on the offside.

His cover drive the ball after getting hit on the arm by Starc was brilliant. It's great, to finally not feel so nervous about watching an opening batsman for once.

I really hope that both Root and Malan settle in to that same tempo when play resumes. It was great to watch.

3 wickets for 11 runs. The hi's and low's of test cricket.

True, it really is awful. However they have saved us the torture of Vaughan.

Malan's wicket just set the tone, unfortunately.

Waking up to the roller coaster ride of test cricket and ultimate highs and lows this England team seem to bring.

This sides ability to give hope and then collapse so spectacularly is remarkable.

Also how Lyon went from looking completely innocuous yesterday to getting 4 for not much today, I am really not sure. Just because there is a man at bat pad should that make that much difference?

Oh well we never win at the Gabba, Broad and Anderson back for Adelaide, and we shall see if the management's planning has been worth it.

We lost that game with the team selection, the Toss decision and a complete inability to nut it out in tough conditions in the first dig. Had we applied ourselves in the first innings like we did on day 3 it could have been a different game.

We began to dream and yet, such false hope.
What to do with Burns? He seems a tough cookie but not sure if he can come back from such a nightmare of a test- the fact he didn't take first ball in the second innings (which I can understand), says a lot. The sports pychologist,if they have one with them, could be busy! Same goes for Leach.
Crawley and Hameed? That would be another completely new opening partnership,great planning there.

I thought batting first on that green deck with our batting line up was very risky, but unfortunately our batting is so frail whether we bat first,second,third or fourth.

I want to see some fight in the next few tests, like they did on day three.

Maybe Warner has a broken rib? He didn't bat in the second dig. That would be a bonus.
