B) Looks like to me all Australia did in the 2nd innings was to change the line of attack after lunch from 3rd stump (Duckett’s straight drive was superb) to 4th stump on a bouncy pitch. Expansive drives = top edge to keeper/slips. The ineptitude was tangible. Train for the conditions or fail.

What’s hilarious is a) some pundits and b) England’s adaptation to simple tactics. A) e.g. Vaughan : “bat longer to rest the bowlers.” The England bowlers had done fuck all . If they’re that out of condition, they should be shot.

That works for me. Cleisthenes' introduction of ostracism has parallels with Perry's ostracizing of the Ashes away from Lord's since 2015. Snowball scoring a fabulous century in the Indus Valley is a delicious thought, but must remain a pipe dream.
