We haven't judged this innings at all well. Credit where credit is due, the Irish have bowled very well today and kept it relatively back of a length. But I'm a bit surprised Ballance hasn't kicked on

I'd rather watch a 1920 kung-fu movie than one minute of football. What a mindless game.

By the way, why is Ervine on the sidelines? Are we ever going to get our best side on the park?

What are the chances we'll never see Williams, Ervine, Raza, and Ballance on the park at the same time?

You always need an extra batter.
Or at least someone like wellington Or mavuta at the very least who can play some shots. Why do we need to play 4 seamers on a surface like this. It's not Perth FFS!

Ballance is too far down the order, he should open or bat at 3 with that kind of strike rate
