Stupid shot from broad. All he had to do is knock it into the gaps and keep the scoreboard ticking over. I don't think you can consider lower order runs as a bonus anymore, our number 8 is a proper batsman and 9 10 11 are all capable of sticking around and getting him on strike
The best thing about this is that the myth of the Aussie bowlers has been broken on the first day of the series.
They're not unplayable. At the moment they don't look like getting a wicket from good bowling, Root and Balance will have to give it away. Starc is all over the shop, Watson is old...
Could be a low scoring game with the variable bounce.
I can't understand why everyone wants to bowl just because it's cloudy. They haven't looked threatening at all so far. I also wouldn't fancy batting 4th on this, the ball is dying already, lbw is in play and we'll be Moore so in the 2nd innings
