Just tuned in, is there no video? Just a silent view from third man without an explanation on BT sport.

Nope. Bunch of cunts

Apparently a power issue in the broadcast compound, effecting worldwide broadcast.

supply chain issues

Ugger.

Not that we missed much. Yesterday’s blip has reverted to type.

Oh

That's excellent.

Hazlewood out for 2nd test

Good bowler. Who's the back-up?

Jye Richardson was thought to be unlucky to miss out this time?

Damn. He's looked good too!

Don't they have any ordinary, overrated seamers? Thinking 1990s England.

Even their ordinary ones seem to perform well against us! I never understood how Siddle got so many wickets... maybe they'll decide they won this match so easily they can probably get enough overs out of Mitch Marsh...🤞🏻

Warner also a doubt after his ribs got battered by Wood.

You don’t like to see sportsmen getting injured. But…

Well said

England resting Wood for Adelaide. I don’t get it. They need to hit back but they’re not selecting the best bowler from the first test.

Worried about his fragility? Maybe there's a sign they've picked up that he could be vulnerable to injury, as it has happened a few times. I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt occasionally, so I can stored up enough ire to lay into Silverwood & co. later, when they make a completely ridiculous decision or lose the series...

I agree - his pace is a great point of difference in the attack.

Wood can get through two games nowadays, but I'd rather he was put aside for what might be a pretty lifeless MCG deck. Still frustrating as he is the point of difference.

Again though, all down to the batting.

Which means no changes to the top-order lineup - paging @mespilus

(I still think my 13 man ploy is a winner... might get us a draw)

Resting wood seems mad to me. It's a difficult road back if you lose another test and no-one will give a fuck who's fresh for Hobart

Waking up to see Cummins out because of a COVID close contact. Sheesh

I'm fucken sick of warnie already

Fucking get in

Even the most ardent Foakes diehards have got to admit that was a great catch by Buttler.
