Joe Root hit around the ole Jatz Crackers twice now over the past 15 minutes. He’s a tad ginger there now, as you would expect. Reckon he’s a bit knackered there.
Bloody good Boland is 31 and not 21, another Hazlewoid ffs. Root needs to sort out this problem he has now with playing at balls around 5th stump, continually nicking off to balls he should be comfortably leaving. Always remember Boycott saying the best shot any batsman can play is the leave !
Smith drops a catch, now another goes does. We’re doing our best to make a draw out of it. Jonny Barsteward survives.
So next up is another Pink ball test on Friday in Hobart. Cold, damp, overcast I suspect this will suit the Poms?
