Marnus Labuschagne: The former world No.1 test batter is building up to a big score, though he will be kicking himself for not turning his 65 into a ton. The work Labuschagne put in while in the wilderness is starting to pay dividends as he is batting with more freedom and looking to score rather than merely surviving. Took one of the best outfield catches you will see this summer. An important part of the team. 8/10
Steve Smith: The superstar batter has relished his return to the captaincy, leading his team in the field with a calmness not always seen in his younger days. His patience and faith in his bowlers in unfavourable conditions gave his attack confidence. With the bat, Smith played a key role in setting up the game, though he too will be disappointed not to crack three figures. His stunning catch ended England's resistance. 8.5/10
Cameron Green: This game was a lost opportunity for the West Australian all-rounder, who cost himself a big score with a brain fade under lights. Seemingly in total control, Green lost concentration and was hoodwinked by Brydon Carse's bumper barrage. His bowling should improve with more match practice. Has played enough Test cricket to start making more significant contributions to the team. 6.5/10
Alex Carey: An excellent performance by one of the most underrated players in world cricket. Carey was superb behind the stumps - and not just with his catching. There isn't a keeper who could have taken the catch running with the flight of the ball on the first night. Don't underestimate the impact of him standing up to the stumps to the seamers, which stops the batters from coming down the track. Made more valuable runs again. 8/10
