This is pathetic, the Aussies taking cheap wickets can only benefit them.
Then again, in their rather brittle frame of mind seeing that this pitch can give up wickets so easily might worry them a bit. It certainly doesn't look like a pitch for a team to bat out two days (weather notwithstanding).

That's 600.

Might make sense to declare but no.

Nine runs an over at the moment. Weather is looking good at the moment.

I'd say slog every ball for the next three overs, declare at the end of that or at the next wicket - whichever comes first.

Now need to see if the Aussies are demoralised as their fielding suggested.

My flag was next to that big AVFC Flag, and if you looked closely when they showed that flag you'd have seen me stood there!
