Give him another chance because 1 test isn't indicative of his potential. sure if he turns out to be a spud drop him but not now anyway

Yeah I get that, just thinking surely there has to be someone else in line before Head. He’s a short form player in my eyes.

Australia 3/136 at stumps.

Well Head’s proven me wrong so far. Hopefully he can go on and get a hundred and then some.

You fucking beauty!!!!!! The boys held on!

Wow, they did it. Didn’t expect that at all, great work from Paine and Lyon at the end. Usman had his best match ever, spent something like 2h in the sheds all match and the rest in 38 degree heat.
This is worth so much more than those Ashes victories last Summer.

What a magnificent rearguard effort by this new look team. Might create a little bit of belief too.

Except Khawaja, obviously
Batted 767 minutes in the match, never thought he had that kind of endurance in him so hats off to the lad plus those who stuck with him.

^^^^^^ 1st innings 99 min, 2nd 14, total 113. Not really what you're looking for from your no.s 3 & 4.

Pakistan haven't looked too bad since the break, Mickey must have got the cane out during lunch.

Honestly, the best way to react to this innings is laughter at our sheer incompetence.
(that said, the pitch is fairly lively)
Finch has done surprisingly well this tour so far.

Finch is probably better on slow turners than more lively pitches where his lack of front foot movement might find him out. Labuschagne's dismissal summed up the ridiculousness of that innings.

Just seen Lyon's c&b for the first time. Even allowing for self-preservation reflex that's some snag.

Jaysus, I thought Labuschagne's was bad but that's next-level-cubed bad.
