Nobody seems to have much else planned - might as well play an extra day - think of the revenue

From what I've seen Khawaja looks more limited as a player, particularly of the frontfoot. Might be mistaken though.how can you tell already gandalf

I think he's just more defensive on the front foot, while looking to punish anything shorter off the back foot

So that's anyone in Tasmania, then?
Have to say fair play to the chaps today; they really stood up when it counted, which is not something one's always been able to say of English batting line ups of yore. Think we should wait til we're safe before we start sucking each others ****s tho, tbh.

It will take a ridiculous collapse to lose this now and on that track it doesn't look likely against that attack.They need to have bowled us out 30 minutes after lunch and i can't see that happening.

Reckon Australia missed a trick here and should have picked young Stevie Smith.
Out of all the bowlers tried today, North was the most dangerous as he bowled his loopy off-spinners with a lot of overspin and outside the left-handers off-stump in the rough. Smith being a leggie bowls with a lot more side spin and would have been dangerous spinning it into the rough back into the left-hander/making the right-hander play. Sure he could have got tonked as well but atleast he will forcing the batsmen to take risks.
Doherty bowls far too flat and fast for this track and got picked off too easily. The fact he doesn't have a Vettori-esque arm ball in his armoury doesn't help when the pitch isn't doing a lot

Agreed, but as Mr P pointed out, Adelaide 2006, etc...
I've been English for too long to set any stall by chicken counting.

Cease the English pessimism FFS...there is no chance in hell you guys are losing this.

Amateurish attempt to apply the mockers from the plucky newcomer.

Interesting interpretation...
