Live Australian series batting averages after 5 of the 6 possible innings:

UT Khawaja 130.66
SPD Smith 69.66
AT Carey 59.66
PJ Cummins 53
C Green 51.66
M Labuschagne 33.5
DA Warner 29.5
MJ Swepson 24
TM Head 19
MA Starc 18
NM Lyon 15
JR Hazlewood -

Just as well they brought Special K, Stephen "The Australian Middle Order" Smith and the wicket-keeper, or else Australia would be looking pretty shabby about now.

[Donny]

Stumps.

Pak. 1/90.

[Pies4shaw]

11 wickets in two days. The Australian bowling averages sum up the conditions. It should suffice to mention that Cummins, whose career average in all conditions is 21.78, is averaging 43.6 in this series - and he's the only one of them with a series bowling average under 62.

Seriously, they should never go back. I have seen concrete driveways offering more help to the bowling.

[Donny]

Ho hum.

Just as well I've been able to watch the SS matches - even though Victoria got rolled in the West.

[Skids]

That was a cracking ball from Starc! Beautiful bowling.

[Donny]

What's that sound ? Something just woke me up.

Yes. The sound of ball hitting stumps !!

Cummins (3/56) gets a third wicket. Starc has 2.

Pak. 6/264.

[Donny]

Another for the Skipper. He has 4/56.

7/268. Babar still there. 67*.
