Brathwaite silent on struggling Samuels

Kraigg Brathwaite has plenty to say about his 85 on the first day of the SCG Test, his development on this tour, and the prospect of bowling on a turning pitch. But he has nothing to say about the out-of-form Marlon Samuels

Lyon prospers on retro SCG pitch

On a rain-hit day, the beauty of Nathan Lyon's spell lay in the fact that he was frugal as a result of his wicket-taking threat rather than anything defensive about his mindset
