We're never going to get Gill out, are we?

It's certainly entertaining, just think we make it far harder than it should be.

I think the dogma overtakes the pragmatism. The funny thing is that it makes you predictable. The toss is a waste of time. If we win it we bowl, if they win it they bat.

Look at the way we are batting at the moment. Smith has destroyed the bowling attack by swiping the short ball to all corners. Wonderful. But doing that on Australian pitches against Cummins or Hazlewood is a very different prospect. That is where judgement and adapting to conditions is required. And that isn't our strong suit.

We refuse to play for draws. We would rather lose.....

I can see us batting through the day. No way it then ends in just two days on this wicket.

Draw

Hope I'm wrong but using the Boycott "if you wanna know the true score, add two wickets to it" and we're in serious trouble.
