Personally, despite me liking that we gave Konstas a go I don’t think he is ready yet nor has the technique required to be a test opener.

Green can’t bat at 3 either.

We’re stuck with Usi by mere lack of challengers.
Smith comes in for the second test for Inglis and then I guess it depends whether Smith or Green bats 3 but I suspect they see Green at 3 long term so stick with that

Oops, of course.

How was the atmosphere, drink prices and hospitality in general?
I’m not there yet. We are leaving KL this morning and heading to Egypt and will get to the Caribbean for the second test in Grenada

Another match where holding catches arguably proved the difference.

Also, Gaz on a hat-trick heading into the second test.

Hat tricks don’t carry on to a new match, can be done from 1st to 2nd innings of the same match but that’s it.

Been a good week
Pant makes 2 tons in a test match
Bazball wins
Head makes 2 x 50
Carey made valuable runs
Australia wins

And you can always tell when those 3 play well and bazball wins
When no one hasago atem

Konstas, for all his faults, has to play every Test over there, to give him the chance to prove that he can play at this level.

I don’t think he’s got what it takes, defence isn’t good enough and has no temperament, but I’ll be the first to congratulate him if he proves me wrong.

Disagree with Konstas. Come the end of the Ashes we will need another opener so need to get someone in and give them an extended run at it
