They do it at Test games and One Dayers too, in fact the Test match here was the worst I'd seen of it despite it being less family orientated than BBL, its a much better crowd at the BBL and thats despite mid strength being sold at Tests and Full Strength at BBL.

As long as there's plenty of money in the till it means Australian cricket is all good. Never mind the kids growing up thinking that 20/20 garbage is 'cricket'.

If his bat worked as well as his mouth he'd never be dropped! Maybe try and make a run before mouthing off like a f**k wit. At Least Warner makes runs before he does it.

The way he batted in the first innings was forfeiting his spot in the team

Doesn't make sense

You have two batters playing defensively yet have defensive field placings.

For mine it's up to the fielding side to change what there doing, there in the strong position. For mine England should be attacking and looking to force attacking shots. Best chance of getting a wicket

If all you boundary options are cut off why should you still try and hit boundaries

England look like a team who either don't know how to win or don't believe they have the ability to get these guys out

England had a deep point to Warner from the start. Ridiculous.

Agreed, just like when Smith didn't enforce the follow on Root hasn't gone for the throat when he should have.
Two poor captains have captained two average sides this series.
Some quality individual displays have been the highlights on both sides, Australia have just had a few more.

Thought Root should have declared last night and had 10 overs at the Aussies, then today his field placings have been woeful. Trying to contain and not get wickets

In a sense can see what he is doing, he knows Warner and Smith in a session could take the game out of Englands hand and didn't want that to happen.

After all he is trying to save face, a draw for England would be a win in their eyes
