Skull is no rookie

 

[Gethelred]

Yeah well not Handscomb that technique is terrible. Play Hardie if you must have a middle order bat

Every now and then, I am minded of why I question every time we agree.

Not sure on Bancroft at #6, he's an opener through and through. Better off moving Uzzie down the order as he has played there in the past.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Could we push Khawaja down to 6 if another opener comes in? IIRC Khawaja hit a ton at 6 in the last Ashes, no?

No. We aren’t moving Khawaja

Perhaps the comm box is cold.

Brayshaw looks like he's in a sauna

 

[Chism]

Are you suggesting they get naked?

Isa Guhar YES please!

 

[Plugger35]

Are you suggesting they get naked?

Just Mel McLaughlin.

 

[Pistol Night]

Isa Guhar YES please!

But then you’d have Skull looking like Mr Burns next to her so it’d be tricky

The old Jennifer Aniston trick

 

[dumb]

Neser for Green

 

[troybe]

Warner, Smith and Bancroft getting the band back together

 

[Westend]

No. We aren’t moving Khawaja

Depends if they want to go two spinners or three quicks one spinner

Two spinners they go for an allrounder at six

or

three quicks one spinner they pick the extra bat

 

[MJG14]

Rabada starting with a pie again.

 

[Sea fog]

SA has only taken 2 wickets with the ball today. Pretty ordinary considering their reputation.

 

[gordo2016]

Can they shut up about the 200 in the 100th Test. FFS

Yer, making 200 in your 100th test is nothing special. Give it a quick congrats and then move on to some more impressive feats.

 

[Saint12]

Nah.

He walked out to tired bowlers and a hard ball. It's what he's suited to, but let's not kid ourselves; he's in the team precisely for this sort of situation. The defensive blokes have done their job, now it's time for making hay.

That he does it well doesn't mean this isn't why an average hovering around 40 provided his strike rate is above 90 is acceptable.

But Warner gets away for not doing his job for the last couple of years plus and the likes of Head and co don't get the credit

Could play both Morris and Murphy with a view to India

 

[DIG]

God South Africa are shithouse. This is the worst team they’ve ever sent here. Absolute embarrassment.

 

[Sea fog]

Rabada starting with a pie again.

So what's new. Ngidi is not highly rated while Jansen and Nortje are yet to be proven but Rabada is the one who belies his reputation. He really is overrated.

 

[eddiesmith]

A Kiwi captain and a Kiwi coach, NZ should take the credit for those results as much as England.

Obviously the Kiwis can’t replicate it based on their results

 

[Syd_Bombay]

Ricky ponting s commentary is only thing worth listening to on 7

 

[freo_leo29]

If Green is out in Sydney then you rush Hardie into the squad, literally the perfect replacement, has done Green's job at Sheffield shield level since Green got promoted

At this rate Maharaj will be back lol
