Billion dollar stadium, Ashes Boxing Day Test, thousands travelling halfway around the world, and a two dollar groundsman.
Is this all down to the pitch? Do the batsmen need to take any responsibility?
And that's tea. 98 to win, 8 in hand.
For mine you could compare this pitch to a pitch in India that is taking far too much turn. There is consistent movement off the seam which means that there is going to be a ball with your name on it sooner or later, so you really need to score as many as you can before then. Very poor pitch, and a bit of an equalizer really.

Thoughts with anyone who laid a lot of money to travel a long distance and to purchase day three tickets.
Happened to me in Perth, although Optus Stadium is within walking distance of where I live.

Surely Brook and Root can manage this one.
Kane and Ross did when it mattered

Wonder if the SCG will be a 4 day pitch...

Everyone thought that Bazball was thinking short term, but he's been playing 3d chess all along. Lose in 2 days, bankrupt CA, tank their development programs and in 2060 the English will win 10 on the trot!
