Donny wrote:Most impressed with Labu & Head. Labu (dropped on 0) took back the initiative, after the hosts were 3/12, with 9 fours.
Head's run-a-ball half ton has been a delight to watch.
Oz 4/136. Head 60*, Green 24*.
Half century partnership.
On decks that are fair to bowlers, the batting cream rises to the top. The FTBs get left behind with their ducks. We've seen that today. (Not that Head is necessarily cream. But this series he is. And Marny may be just "good average", but he's obviously been by far Oz's best batsmen since Nov. 2019.)
True for bowlers too. Wood and Woakes bowled very poorly and were punished. Bowlers still need to bowl well to get wickets.
Head missed out on the opportunity to get more runs after a great century but that is cricket. He should put that dismissal at the back of his memory and celebrate his well deserved hundred.
Loving this innings by Green. Some text book strokes beautiful to watch.
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

I beg to differ. Carey's been groomed for about 2 years, to keep for Australia. They're not about to ditch him, for lack of runs with the bat, at this stage.

Donny and Lazza: Pressure is on whether or not Carey's at risk of being dropped. He might've cost Oz the win in Sydney.
Same with batters who can't score runs except on dead pitches. e.g. They'll never have the guts to drop FTB Smith.

Agree. I predict that Carey will score a half century in this innings.
