That was gross !!!!

And Cummins just dropped one that SHOULD have been taken as well..

Catches win matches boys..
But the wicket is ****, apparently.

Lets see how the other team bats before we make conclusions.

Maybe we have not taken our chances, but lets blame the pitch hey Stick.

What was the crowd today? It doesn't look good. So Victorians only turn up on Boxing Day for the Boxing Day Test?

Sorry mate, you're on your own, pretty much the entire cricket community has recognised the pitch is terrible. It's terrible for cricket.

What a great story about Tim Paine’s nan. I watch cricket, not passionate about it like rugby league, and it’s pretty much been Tim Who for me before becoming captain. But I’m liking him more and more through this Test series.

he was the great hope a few years back then had all sorts of dramas with his fingers, couldn't keep/play etc. I've found him really underwhelming but he's doing a steady job in a dark period. Hopefully he's our Kim Hughes before another good era

Can’t see them enforcing follow on. Probably bat again and go for quick runs and make Aus bat on last day
