Also, why there are games scheduled while a test match is playing? *
Why not schedule them for in between the tests, for better exposure and perhaps attendances?
*, or rather when a test is supposed to be happening.

Yeah, I remember watching him at Arundel (and surely Hove too) and being disappointed with him.

Head basically played "Bazball" today. I hope that the English batsmen learn from him, which lines and lengths to leave, which balls to attack; how to bat for longer than half a day....
Still trying to process how we "managed" to collapse in one session. Where are the England player's heads at?

We have batted for less than a cumulative total of 80 overs of play in two innings.
That really doesn't give our bowlers enough time to recover.
This is like a T20 now FFS

Agreed. Losing nine wickets in one session is neither forgivable nor sustainable. England need a post mortem on this.

We are being Bazballed by Travis Head.

Don't talk to me about the greed, waste of scheduling and resources that constitutes the hundred 🙄
I'm red ball enthusiast all the way - I have watched Smith, Head, the wonderful Steve Magoffin and another Aussie bowler whose name I can't recall, all play for Sussex.

It's supposed to be about adopting a positive mindset, rather than an extension of T20.
The batsmen do have to do their bit and some games are run-fests of 600 for 4 after 140 overs, others like this game, are low scoring, giving a greater significance to every run scored. It's a beautiful game!

Well let's see if that's a good score after Australia have completed their innings.
