Waugh was on the board when the decision was made to get rid of rennie and get jones. Definitely has culpability
REPORT: Eddie Jones to quit Wallabies and join Japan as head coach
This is the key thing, he turned his shoulder towards Brayshaw. If he had his arms up continuing the smother motion then the contact isn’t as nearly as bad. Or if he turned his body the other way. This however will weighed against the time to react, slow motion and stills make it look bad but I expect he had seconds to adjust. Not sure if this comes into it or not. Lets see what the MRO lottery comes up with. I think Van Rooyen is gone.
Finals Fix: Manic Magpies expose Dees' massive flaw - but here's why they should have to win it all without Maynard
England arrogantly batted far to long on day 3 knowing the weather forecast to enjoy keeping Australia in the field longer and try and get JB a ton. True bazball would have declared in the first session. Partly blame themselves.
Rain is always a rubbish way to decide the result of a test but its happened before and will happen again. Its only because Australia won the first two test matches that the result of this test can allow them to retain. England retained the ashes due to old trafford rain before.
Weather they like it or not, England only have themselves to blame for Australia being raining Ashes champs
I don’t get people saying this rule is clear. The rule is designed to stop people using the ground to to keep the ball in their hand. Starc had completed the catch already, this type of interpretation is just ridiculous. Then you got the grey area of when one is in control of their body. Does Starc ever look not in control?
Reeks of looking to find ways of not giving the catch.

Looking at the weather forecast we may lose some time to rain and it ain’t going to be sunny like day 1 every day. May be more swing ahead with different conditions. So far too early to judge the decleration. We have a long tail too.
Root ton, reverse-ramps, first-ball mayhem and shock declaration - Aussies endure peak Bazball on thrilling opening day
Will be interesting to see if England scrap the flatter bazball wickets and request green tops after today.
Only 1 day down but a great start for the Aussies, now to keep going, we have seen tests turn quickly in the past from commanding positions on day 1.
I too am baffled at leaving Ashwin out, especially given his record against Australia.
I assume a draw means Australia take the championship as finished on top?
Congrats to Head. I admit I have been critical of him in the past but he has made a few of us eat our words in recent time (touch wood)

I watched the Alabama event and really enjoyed it, the 2 stop vs 3 stop strategy and exciting racing. The time zone difference means I have to watch replays. Not sure how I will find the oval races though.

I feel Pickett should have got longer too.
Did McAdam get nothing? Looked like it went body then head.
Six Points: Kozzie's bump deserved a month off, draws are awesome, and the Pies are officially likeable
Well done Timmy

Agar must be thrilled he missed the BBL finals for this. Should head off to the PSL or back to Perth and play one day / shield and tell McDonald and the selection committee to jump.

Green on track, Starc doubtful means Kuhnemann close to joining list of Aussie spin bolters who sink or swim
Volk is my favourite fighter and a lot I think comes down to how hard he works and prepares. I’m learning to never doubt Volk. Going into the 3rd Holloway fight I thought it might go either way but Volk dominated him for five rounds. I thought Volk could beat Makhachev but knew Mak is a great fighter, especially wrestling and submissions, thought it be a hard fight and if Makhachev got his hands on him and got him down it be trouble. But Volk managed to defend his choke attempts when in the body lock and Makhachev seemed to tire as the fight went on and Volk got stronger. As Volk said, he may have slightly underestimated Makhachev striking.
It was a very close fight and I don’t think it was a robbery (I suspect you didn’t choose that headline) but could of gone either way. Hope they run it back. Volk is a supreme athlete.
I heard a rumour that the the time between weigh in and fight was less then usual and some of the guys who cut more where struggling. Not sure if true though. Could explain Pedro gassing so quickly, although don’t know how much he cuts.
Alexander Volkanovski robbed but classy, bring on the re-match
Great article, Volk is the goat and mr inbetween a brilliant show. I think it’s just that mma isn’t as big as afl or nrl etc so less people know what he has achieved.
Volkanovski is Australia's best male athlete 'by a mile'... so why is he ignored when he should be celebrated?
Cracking write up
Really looking forward to Volk vs Makhachev, will be a tough fight for Volk but never underestimate him. He will have the speed advantage and can wrestle.

Am I the only person who finds Collins very dislikeable from her on court behaviour? Was really hoping Muchova was going to beat her.

Someone should remind Warner sandpaper gate is not the only reason he has been black listed for leadership. He has a long list of reasons.

Here's why the crowds at Optus Stadium were so poor
I went to day 4 and was a good days test cricket. Too busy at work to go to the first 3 days unfortunately. We did have a bit of chat about why crowd was so low. I know some members got rid of there memberships during covid as no cricket and may not have resumed them. The memberships also got more expensive with the move to Optus (which is not unexpected) but may have made some members decide no to renew. I think crowds have been down in most sports recently.

Any reason why this test is starting on a Wednesday?
Myself and some mates have tickets for the Saturday which is day 4 (may not make it) as we cant take time off work.
Might try and get to another day. As is normal it is heating up in Perth, seems to always coincide with the cricket.
FLEM’S VERDICT: Aussies won’t have it all their own way against Windies as trio get chance to lock in long term
My son aged 7 played hockey and football in the winter (first season of football), his hockey fees were $50 and his football fees were $600.
His football team were in league where they played other clubs each week where as the hockey was 3 teams from his club and 3 teams from another playing each other each week. So a little apples and oranges. I think the hockey club does subsidise it at that age to try and get players down.
He is football mad though,

“I thought he played well and has bought himself time (to decide his future),” Bailey said.
What? Hugely worrying comment from Bailey, shows he is clearly to close to these guys to see Finch was shocking. Its worrying the narrative has gone from Finch retiring at the end of the world cup to buying him more time.
Hayden says Aussies lacked freshness, chose wrong players and should never have axed Starc
Perth Glory are playing a lot of home games at Macedonia park this season and no doubt will take a hit to membership / attendance revenue as a result, worsening the Glory financial predicament. I imagine if it is true they are avoiding the extension clause this may be why.
Is this the end of Bruno Fornaroli?
Agar bowling was a big reason the Scorchers won last season. Always economical, came in a lot when teams had had fast starts and clawed the run rate back.
I think he definitely needs to play at the MCG with it’s big boundaries. More overs with pace off the ball.
