Australian Cricket Thread - No.3 🏏

[Robbo's my hero]

Was Tarnie girl into the chook too when she was around?

Two barbecued chickens were purchased each Sunday. The humans would feast on the freshly cooked chickens and bread rolls and the remaining chicken was eaten by the cat and dog. The cat and the dog enjoyed Sunday's because the chicken was served warm. And of course, after the feast we would sit down and watch the cricket.

India top 5 are pretty damn strong. Rest are flakes.

Once Dhoni went out for a duck you could tell they'd cave.

They should not

 

[HBF]

India finally get on the scoreboard and avoid a 5-0 whitewash.

Cheers Fairfax........

Stars with a very competitive 176.

ODI squad vs New Zealand has been announced this morning, no room for Usman Khawaja.

That has to be some kind of joke - the guy is in unbelievable form and should be one of the first picked.

Stars with a very competitive 176.

Not quite competitive enough, as it turns out. Great to see Mr Cricket go out on a high.

 

[HBF]

Smith & Warner rested for the next two 20/20 matches.

 

[Jeremias]

World T20 squad has been announced:

Steve Smith (C)
David Warner
Ashton Agar
Nathan Coulter-Nile
Aaron Finch
John Hastings
Josh Hazlewood
James Faulkner
Usman Khawaja
Mitchell Marsh
Glenn Maxwell
Peter Nevill
Andrew Tye
Shane Watson
Adam Zampa

We're going to struggle to make it past the group stage.

 

[HBF]

Our bowling stocks look very thin. We're really going to miss Starc over there.

 

[HBF]

Good game of cricket going on at Wellington. Australia are in front for sure, but the kiwi's are bowling well this morning.

 

[gandaal]

Adam Voges just became the greatest batsman of all time. For at least one night anyway.

 

[HBF]

Good on him for putting what happened late yesterday behind him. Could have played on his mind.

 

[HBF]

As emphatic win as you can get. A few salty Kiwi posters on the cricket board.

 

[HBF]

Second Test setting up for a belter on days 4 and 5 at this stage.
What a beautiful cricket ground it is in Christchurch.

 

[gandaal]

My parent were on holiday in Christchurch the day before the last major earthquake. It's seriously sad what has happened to that city.

Good to see Burns doing well. We need him to step up and solidify that spot as an opener to save us from Marsh.

 

[thylacine60]

We do not want to be chasing 200.

 

[HBF]

We do not want to be chasing 200.

We sure don't. Need to keep the kiwi's to less than 300.

 

[thylacine60]

Got McCullum's measure now. Has taken him 13 balls to dawdle to 15 runs in the second innings. Clearly, the end is nigh.

 

[HBF]

How appropriate was the he hit a 6 in what was to be his final scoring shot in test match cricket.

 

[blue gunslinger]

Joe burns dropping pants at critics
Bite me
Kiss it
Love it

 

[HBF]

This match in Christchurch is set up for a cracking finish.

 

[Blue Pulse]

We do not want to be chasing 200.

You jinx, spot on 200

 

[HBF]

Number 1 in the world and Smith has an average of 60+.
All in all a pretty good summer.

 

[Jeremias]

Number 1 in the world and Smith has an average of 60+.
All in all a pretty good summer.

Smith is great but he's no Voges - finished the series with an average of 95.5

 

[Jatz]

I called for Voges after that FC season where he averaged 100 or whatever. I'm so glad the selectors finally made the right call. He's been absolutely sublime.
