On Smith, why change something that's working? We've done it with Root and others, and it's been a disaster, honestly don't get it at all.

I posted that at lunch time. It was 3 am here at tgat time and Australia Aus were 7 down. Which is when it looked like it woukd get over by tea. The previous comment was yesterday. And tbf Roger s was playing really well and had he lasted till lunch Aus might have saved the match.

Oh the joy of winning against a side that dominates you! Read this interesting nugget on Twitter:

"Combined experience of Pak XI after Test is 86 wickets, their least experienced side to win a Test since the Oval 1954 vs Eng (71 wickets)."

My first thought for an XI to challenge that was Zimbabwe's side that beat Bangladesh on their first Test for years in 2011. Turns out they had 87 wickets between them, though 69 of them were Ray Price's and one was Taibu's.

It's still not a true stat though unfort. Sri Lanka's first winning team in 1985 had only 55 wickets between them at the time.

Pakistan-only stat.

I thought we were just trying to come up with different teams that beat that rather than disproving the stat which is clearly true.

This must have been a decent shout for the time, Gooch may skew it a bit.

Oh beaten by Howe, never mind.

in the past 5 years has australia dropped a batsman following a victory even once? and i don't mean following the end of the series like marsh and bailey. between tests in a series. i can't think of anyone. injury related changes don't count either.

Lower bound is 2009 - Marcus North dropped after 2 wins in SA for the 3rd test (McGain's)

Probably the last one though
