If you zoom in on Hazelwood in the top image, he looks not like he is trying to see their problems but just watching the Australian team make yet another mess-up. Not only that but from his face he could be watching absolutely anything, from the video of that match to a David Attenborough documentary on insects. He may also be looking at the video, but not taking any of it in, only thinking about what he is going to have for dinner that night, or something similar.
Personally I would put his unhappiness rating at about 3.

In reply to The Smudge. Somehow "look they like this" says it better than "they look like this". But I'm not sure I can put my finger on why!

One of the many joys of this situation is this is how they looked after a test match in which they bowled England out for 67. Sixty seven!

When Stuart Broad bowled Australia of for 60 we all said something to the effect of “ha ha ha ha ha ha” and have continued saying it ever since in relation to that match. They bowled England out for a mere seven more, and look they like this.

100% agree with you Ged.
Lyon looks like he hasn’t slept all night but is still having nightmares and watching his terrible bowling is evoking fresh memories.

Did Marsh play any role in that Test? He wasn’t selected in the XI, but did he come on a sub fielder and fumble anything?

He might have been half rewatching the shambles and half considering whether everyone else’s failures made it more likely he would get in the team. Though I preferred yer maj’s description which got a proper laugh out of me.

Khawaja doesn’t look upset, he just looks studious, like someone has said there’s going to be an exam afterwards. I reckon Khawaja passes exams,, never less than 90%.

Thinking about exams, I reckon I know what the questions would be:

Q1. Who is that bloke at the other end?
Q2. Hasn’t anyone considered bowling at him instead?
Q3. No, I mean really, why are we not bowling at him instead of this obviously unstoppable batting machine?
Q4. Right, he’s on strike, he’s sure to take a quick single. Are we ready for that?
Q5. WTF?
Q6. Seriously Nathan, WT absolute F?
Q7. Does anyone have Brett Lee and Michael Kasprowitz’s number, so we can tell them how it’s supposed to be done?

Marsh is scouring the room for other Mitches and Marshes.

This line made me laugh out loud. A Lol if you will.
