    Root and Brook are 2 of the very best batsmen in the world. 
    Just play sensible cricket and cut out the one day shots.
    Don't mind them playing them once they're on 70 or whatever, you're in, bowlers are tired, fine take advantage if you can.  It's the "aggressive from the off" stuff that's just really stupid.

    Hope I'm wrong and these two put on a 200 partnership or something.

    If TNT could turn the bloody effects up so you can actually hear the action it would be useful

    What are those shots Brook? A waft with the arms and feet set in concrete.

    And there you go. Best bowler comes back & Brook slashes at the 2nd delivery.

    Brain dead.

    I'm baffled why England see Brook as Captain material.  Great talent as a player,  but no match awareness at all.

    At least we can knock a few of their batsmen off under the lights tonight.

    Brain dead Brook!
    I really don't think Bazball is good for these early stages of his development.
    He can bash it. We all know that. He needs to learn refinement, and he's never going to get it here.

    Starc is now the highest left armer wicket taking seamer of all time. He has 13 in the series but of those there have been very few non-batters, so much so that he has already taken the scalp of all of our top 8:

    Crawley (2)
    Duckett (2)
    Pope (1)
    Root (2)
    Brook (1)
    Stokes (2)
    Smith (1)
    Atkinson (1)
    Wood (1)

    45 of the scheduled 90 overs now bowled. Less than 10 mins to go of the 2nd session. 

    We're not getting a full days play in are we...??

    Sounded from TMS like Stokes and Root handles those dangerous last overs well. Keep having to remind myself we have the extra batting potential of Jacks too

    Brook doesn’t seem to have a cricket brain. Australia’s most dangerous bowler and Brook plays a waft outside off stump without moving his feet. Brainless.

    98/2  2nd session.

    12 years since the last Test where none of Lyon , Cummins or Hazelwood played I think I heard the commentators say earlier .

    Feel like this will be a quick 25 or something here from Brook.  Daft play. 
    So predictable.  Sadly all the talent but really thick - I know, their dangerous bowler is finally back on, in his preferred conditions, I'll hack at a wide one first ball up!!

    Hopefully Root, Stokes and Smith are more sensible.

    Currently Root and Stokes certainly are. SR's of 50.

    And I trust Smith more than Brook to play the conditions.

    Pleasingly "boring " cricket at the moment. Well until that terrible Australian review.
