Fantastic day out yesterday sitting in the JL stand. Perth Stadium really is a brilliant venue from a spectator perspective.

Seems like providence that Khawaja played golf for three days before this test,

This bloke is on my flight to Melbourne today. Guess his weekend freed up

I liked Lyons story on how the decision was made to have Head opening the batting with Weatherald. No one volunteered so Travis said " How hard can t be. I'll give it a go."

Wot? You mean Steve Smith didn't volunteer like he did last time 'because the team needs me to'. Meaning that Smith wanted to.

Turns out, not very hard at all

He's barely passed 50 in 2 years.......

Nope but he's stayed at the crease and taken the shine off the new ball, been a great partner to whoever was at the other end. Not like the rest of our top or middle order regularly get more than 50!

Time for him to go.

To be replaced by whom? Long list of failures of other openers.

I’d throw Renshaw in.
Usman doesn’t even show intent to score. Bogs down an end then gets out.
We’re lucky he couldn’t open yesterday
