Don't think they batted too long in the 2nd Innings?

Wow, that came alive fast. Fair spell from Cummins when he looked cooked.
The fact that the Test went down to the wire somewhat literally is gonna leave Cummins with declaration question marks but ehhh, I don't think it was too badly off. If one of the chances earlier in the innings gets taken (Stokes drop, Bairstow run-out) Australia win. Unlike some of Australia's 4th innings attempts I don't think Australia playedf too badly, they were just a bit overloaded on a flat deck with some good middle-order batting.
Fair effort for England to fight with the bat, at 4/36 it looked like it was going to be a disaster give-up.

Yes, he was bowling short all the time.

Probably would've done better if he had his catches caught tbf
Seemed more of a physical question mark then a mental one though the question marks will begin given previous Tests.
Is totally happening.
I'm looking forward to Boland with the pink ball. He's obtained superb lateral movement with the red ball so far.

Solid game. Rain definitely decided the result in the end.
Don't think Aus declared too late, any earlier would have been an unacceptable risk.
Starc needs "resting". Don't make the same mistake they did last year and go into the final Test with a worn-out attack

They wouldn't leave him out of a pink-ball test, surely?

Or swap him and Green in the batting order and say Starc is the "all-rounder" and Green the bowler

Biggest missed opportunity in those last few overs for Australia was that full over Cummins had to Broad; would've put your house on getting him out but didn't really challenge him enough. Don't think he got one right on the stumps.

I'm astounded there is talk of Ussie being dropped.
I'm sorry, but if a white Australian player made back-to-back hundreds, there is no way in hell he would be dropped under any circumstances (beyond him engaging in some wrong conduct on or off the field) for the next test.
