Ian Higgins

And the way he was able to basically lock them in and bowling the odd delivery to really trouble them.

It did remind me of how significant his injury at Lords was in 2023.

There's been a bit of chat.

He's had to deal with the selectors, thinking that Australia's probably better off without a spinner on a couple of spicy decks.

But when he comes on, the way that he's able to change the tempo of the game and the tempo of the deliveries coming down, it just goes to show that he's such an essential part of the rhythm of Australia's holistic bowling approach.

It must be a fucking nightmare to bat against this team when every single time the ball is thrown to someone who is just going to cause you a new challenge.

And it's going to be a challenge with a new angle, a new pace, you know, a new set of tactics and stuff.

There's, you know, there's very few plays you can get after.

And when line was just such a beautiful piece of variety, you know,

Is it that hard?

I'm looking at it, it looks pretty easy.

pops up like just mate it's just these guys are so fucking highly skilled and we're gonna give them flowers today because yesterday yesterday i still think they were under this yeah they didn't play well yesterday they played fucking well today well i mean so stokes and jacks obviously were the guys who showed the correct uh brand of dog in bruceman yes and uh they came together again here now like kerry's catches he's alive to a ball popping up you know from the inside edge on the thigh etc but

If he doesn't have the skill to stand up to the stumps to Boland, he's not in position to take that catch.

So he's partially responsible for creating that wicket.

It's outstanding stuff, but it's not really that funny.

Now, crudely drawn Homer Simpson says...

pile up on the M4 today as large strip removed and transported to Adelaide.

Okay.

Knuckles Deep says, what would the combined 11 look like now?
