Won't get to a fourth innings
Jon Tuxworth@Tuxy811h
I’m sure it’ll be easier to bat when batting fourth. Gotta bat at some point might as well now. Has floored me.

The outcome of 50 years of foreign policy, two wars, hundreds of thousands of lives: a modest payday for a few Woodside shareholders
Stephen Dziedzic@stephendziedzic6h
Big news. Woodside walks away from Greater Sunrise. Sells its 33% stake to Timor's state-owned oil and gas company Timor Gap for around $280 million AUD. Timor Gap will have full control of the asset after the sale. Some big questions looming now for Dili (and for Canberra)

So setting Connolly up to fail batting out of position, dropping their best player, keeping a walking wicket at 3, removing their bowling depth and not investing in the future all in order to maintain the club

I'm not convinced you don't drop Head down where he bats naturally; 1) Renshaw 2) McSweeney 3) Smith 4) Head 5) Green 6) Connolly 7) Carey

Australia loses by an innings and 31 runs. Thoroughly outplayed and sets up Cape Town at 1-1 perfectly. 1. Head 2. ? 3. ? 4. Smith? 5. Renshaw? 6. Carey 7. Webster/Connolly? Huge selection calls ahead. @7Cricket @SEN_Cricket @1116sen

Wait a year and then a locked in opener, if he keeps performing
Tim Michell@tim_michellOct 21
It's easy to say it today but Sam Konstas should really be in the Test team.

The three stooges by Ponga and the half back is very funny

Matt Renshaw wasn't picked for years because he was a bit annoying.

Australia is short an opener? This kid called Cameron Bancroft seems good, maybe give him a go

The constant excuse for not selecting youngsters is that they're not bashing the door down. But then you look at the people they do select

Nic Maddinson's 33-ball duck is the longest duck by an Australian opener in Test history where balls faced data is available. codesports.com.au/cricket/au…

Matt Renshaw was brought in one Test ago to try solve Australia's opening issues. Next Test, he's apparently at five with Nic Maddinson to open with Travis Head. Crazy stuff. #SAvAUS
