@Donsteppa The thing is none of them are really quicks. Medium-Fast at best.

You hope that's a convenient excuse and the real reason is his shitful form.

England to bat

Australia leave Lyon out and play with 4 quicks.

[KiwiPie]

Presumably choosing to bat because they never last longer than 50 overs so they can bowl at Australia under the lights?

[Virgil]

Wonder which test will finish first, this one or the black caps vs windies

[mariner4life]

Death
Taxes
Starc in the first

[Chris B.]

Duckett gone in the first over - Starc again!

Plan working already!!!

Crawley and Root could do very well here.

[NTA]

Neser getting very close as well

[sparky]

Just waking up and seeing the score.

Quack, quack. Two wickets in the first three overs. That's embarrassing for England.

Surprised the Aussies left out Nathan Lyon though.

The real action is happening across the ditch but I may as well jump in here for a look.

I’m genuinely shocked Crawley is still in.

[mariner4life]

don't feel like you have to

[MN5]

This bloke Neser has some lovely first class stats. He’ll be thrilled to get a chance with no Cummins or Hazelwood.

[Chris B.]

Brook has a hoick at Starc's third ball in the evening spell - it's well wide of the stumps and he succeeds in nicking it to Smith. Don't know what goes through these guys' minds.

[MN5]

Starc moves one clear of the legendary Wasim Akram as the highest wicket takers amongst left arm quicks.

Good effort that.

[NTA]

A couple of what can only be described as stupid dismissals. Could bat for 2 days. Tons for everybody

They obviously saw Conway get out today.

Only 32 more runs needed from Root for Hayden to remain clothed this summer.
