Alex Malcolm from Cricinfo sits in this week to help us wave goodbye to the UK summer as the clubbies begin wheeling out their bowling machines across Australia. Meanwhile, a lidless Razaullah offers up inevitable comparisons to Pakistani greats, the Aussies face off with a team that has had the wood over them in recent times and Steve Smith gives us his middling indifference on playing in next year's Ashes series.

Is it the decks? Is it TikTok? Or is it just an inherent lack of ability rendering Test batters mostly useless in this country? Do we need to compulsorily acquire suburban land so that middle class kids can have a backyard? Also, Brydon Carse proves that it actually is quite difficult to go out and not end up in handcuffs, Tugga has some thoughts on franchise cricket and Jaiswal and Asitha cop fines after their heads come together...somehow.

Australia lost to this team. Nathan Lyon bowled well, turns out he is still pretty good when he's given the chance to bowl. A big day for Slug and not for particularly good reasons.
