Rod Marsh was the best keeper I’ve seen for Australia, Gilchrist was the best batter I’ve seen out of all our keepers, Haddin, Healy and Paine have all been more than handy but Carey is becoming elite at both disciplines.

Only bloke sad to see Neser get a 5fa would be Doggett who would now be a certainty to lose his spot next test with Cummins and most likely Lyon to come back in.

Going to be tough selection if Cummins and Lyon are available.

Great interview with Neser. Seems so proud. Great reward for hard work.

Doggett bowled ordinary in both innings this Test. Too short

Neser, a horses for courses selection with Cummins and Hazlewood missing that has paid off.

Yeah agree

Would expect Cummins and Lyon in for Neser and Doggett.

The BIG question for me is
Should Steven Blonde Don Smith be in to bat with less than 10 runs to win , will Benjamin Stokes bring Joesph Root on to bowl at him again
