Extras (b 11, lb 7, nb 1) 19

Total (4 wickets, 73 overs) 276


So, let's look at this.

Before this game we had

In Form Aussies: Flashy Phil Hughes, Simon 'Handbrake' Katich, Little Captain Punter, Brad 'Has Been' Haddin, Mitchell 'Johnson and' Johnson, Stuart Clark

Out of Form Aussies: Mr Cricket, Pupshark, Magnetic Marcus North, Scarecrow, Ho Hauritz

And now, after day three of this game, the order has been almost perfectly reversed.

Only The Handbrake of Simon Katich and Ho Hauritz have maintained their form line. Oh, and Cryin' Shane Watson, of course, who remains injured and on the sidelines.

I say, let's get the three consistent players in a room and see if Simon will strangle the other two.

What do you think of the bizarre reversal of form of almost the entire Australian team, Team Consistency Advisor Bratich?


Boy, you said it Jessica.
