Well played Harris at least his getting better each innings this series and working on his game.

Not sure his really up to it but cant question his commitment and effort.

His bowling plan to both left handers has just been so negative, bowling a leg stump line even outside leg stump and both Harris and Head are picking up easy runs.

Root would be a better option than Leach

classic Head dismissal there

Steve Smith hasnt been the same since getting hit by Archer.

Under pressure for virtually the first time in the series, interesting to see how we respond
Smith hasn't been the same since getting hit by Archer?
He literally made a double century (211) and 82 in the next match he played, (the forth test in the 2019 Ashes), didn't seem to be impacted by Archer then and then made 80 in the first innings of the fifth test where Archer took 6/62.

Neil Wagner was the one that started to really dry his runs up with his bowling plans to Smith having great success during the 19/20 Aus v NZ series. Ravi Ashwin also had some success drying Smith up last summer but Smith was able to get runs in Sydney making 131 and 81.

Sadly for Trav that was his trademark dismissal

Had a big chance whilst inform to continue to pile on the runs

Would love to see Green get through this but he looks to have lost a lot of confidence with bat in hand.

Kind of feel one will have his name on it soon enough

Fingers crossed that’s not the case, will only get easier if he can get through Wood and Anderson

And Green is gone

His batting is a real worry and has declined quicker than his bowling’s improved.

Shocking shot by Carey….for mine he looks so far out of his depth batting at test level.

Has struggled to get off the mark in any of his innings, is having to resort to reverse sweeps early on to find some gaps and keeps getting out to shocking shot selection

He made a 50 in his third innings in test cricket, give him a break.
Tough pitch to bat on.
He'll still ton up at some stage.

Just like Head. Went chasing a shot that wasn't there

Poms 4 down before Australia have to bat again
