Ex-England captain Michael Vaughan has come off the back fence in response on Fox, with the question of a “divided dressing room” being raised. Don’t know about that one, but probably not the sharpest take from a tired fast bowler either.

“I must admit, I’m staggered by that,” Vaughan said.

“Josh Hazlewood is a great bowler, terrific team member. Publicly, I’ve never heard an Australian come out and kind of divide the camp into batters and bowlers.

“There’s 11 batters that will never change. Every single player has to bat. There’s two days to go in the Test match. It’s a long shot, a huge shot for Australia to get anything out of this game, but to publicly see a player basically saying, ‘I’m thinking about the next game’ before that this game is finished.

“Publicly to come out and say that I’ve never, ever seen that from an Australian player, any player really, around the globe, but particularly Australians”.
