6am in Brisbane. Heavily overcast. But it doesn't feel like rain.
Probably ideal bowling conditions ie not great for England. As expected.

so far the only luck England has had has been bad and even the good luck they had in winning the toss turned out to be bad

Maybe they are too far back in the slips

It's funny but I will be cheering a Pommy Prat this weekend......go Mr Hamilton ( Max is a danger to all and the Championship may well be decided by a stewards decision after the race )

If you were a sniper and had to make a headshot kill on a F1 driver
from 500 metres away. Would you position so you could shoot as he
travelled toward you, or travelled a way from you or while he slowed
down for a corner?

I'm only a casual F1 fan, but... fuck Max. He's just too reckless.
You shouldn't go into the final* race of the season thinking there's a genuine chance one driver will deliberately crash into another one.

* any race, actually.

8.30am. Clouds have gone. Might be a nice batting day after all!

Are they starting 30 mins early again, that also stuffed england cos they had even longer
in the field, although in the end they bowled so slowly they only got 84 overs not 98.

But if theres extended play again today, the match could finish today if england collapse,
but first they have to get oz out for what, 400 or 500?

oh hell ...will have a heat-seeking missile

Back to cricket......going on about preparation and England lacked it. Well, all the Australian pace attack are in the same boat ie. coming from the T20 and going into 2 weeks quarantine

I guess Australia would be happy with batting for 90 minutes today and having a go at the English before the lunch break

Good to see Leach bowling economically. I expect RH to comment on it any time soon....

I think Cummins made a mistake, it should have been a declaration when Head got his 150

No point in batting on and it gives you a good hour plus at the opening bats

Cummins could have 9 slips for the rest of the game and it wouldn't be a mistake.

AS Root was determined to bat first winning the toss was bad luck although if Oz had won they would probably have bowled. RH

Cummins literally said after the toss he'd have batted first if he'd won.
Whilst there's a chance it was just mind-games.. but... I'm going to assume he was just being honest.

RH - I never said Oz probably would have bowled if they'd won the toss.

must have got covid b4 the start. weather fcast seems set fair for the rest.

i lost count of the catches england dropped, they looked very tired, but at
least burns hung on to 1, then nearly got a pair, Hameed hung around for
another 20+ overs, and root and malan played well to take the match
into the 4th, which was why there was this awful noise from the barmies
well i assume it was them. I hope they can at least make oz bat again
but if they both fall early on, i expect the rest might follow.
