2015-16 Summer of Cricket/Shrine to Usman

[Fred Ziffel]

I just can't get excited about a team with David Warner in it. Although I do like Smith.
Bring back Agar. There's a young man who knew how to make things exciting

Meanwhile, he's a real chance to be on 200 not out on the first day.

 

[jedi mind tricks]

I have man love for Warner.

 

[Van_Dyke]

I hope both Burns and Khawaja cement their spots and go well.

Hard to judge though. Only playing against the Kiwis....

The Kiwis these days are a very good side.

Not on this day.

Sam Mitchell is a good footy player too.

Sam Mitchell is a good footy player too.

And Hodge is a good bloke

How funny is the contrast at the crease between Smith and Kawaja, pure energy vs pure tranquility. Literal polar opposites yet both very effective.

 

[MadDocker]

Khawaja with his first test 100!! Hopefully the first of many.

It will give us the luxury of having Smith at four.

Truly happy to be wrong. Well done Ussie!!!

Play the best batsmen in the position they score the most runs. Pretty simple and sound philosophy.

 

[Steinfreo]

I believe in Usman. I always thought he had more tools than S.Marsh. Cant get carried away though.

 

[Freo_4eva]

Kiwi's going with the old, play as many batsmen who can bowl a bit as possible.. innings victory coming up

 

[Van_Dyke]

Happy to be wrong with Usman.

 

[FreoGirl]

Great day today!

how completely disappointing was that kiwi attack. Diabolical.

I think "attack" is stretching it a bit.

I've just written a 3000 word essay on Kim Hughes so expected to be a bit over cricket, but so glad it's back!

Who else is going to the Perth Test?

When is the Perth test?

 

[Van_Dyke]

When is the Perth test?

The perth test is the next test and it starts pretty soon after this one ends IIRC.

 

[Van_Dyke]

Starts on the 13th

Starts on the 13th

Aww I was hoping it was before the boxing day test, because then I'd be able to go! I think I'm missing alllll the cricket. In Melbourne for the Perth test, in Perth for the Boxing Day test.

I wish this current series was the one being played over boxing day. I'm not expecting much from WI.
