Rebuild period in test cricket thanks to playing too many dinosaurs for too long.

Also can we stop playing Johnson and Starc in the same side. They both ball exactly the same.

Last time we had Harris who was economical and could take wickets, Siddle who is economical and would give the english very little and Johno who can go for runs but is a great strike bowler.

This year we had Starc who is the same as Johno and Hazelwood who is still learning so he could go for runs too. At times our strike bowlers tried to hit a length instead of bowling normally because we leaked too much

Cameron Bancroft

Yes.

 

[Wizard17]

Yes.

We should look at him at the top order Head and Stoinis in the middle order and Behrendorff or Sandhu to do the Harris/Siddle role bowling wise.

Our Government is more ****** than the Australian test squad was in England.

It makes no difference who the Prime Minister is the same policies are enacted.
It's just an amorphous blob that swaps face and continues to ignore the real issues.

Maybe those 'shape-shifting lizard' crazies aren't so far off the mark.

The funny thing is that renowned metaphysicist Michio Kaku gives some credence to the idea of different dimensional forms like Lizards. Still sounds crazy to me but the guy's a genuine genius and Abbott looks far too much like a lizard for me to be comfortable....

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Love me some Kaku talks even though I think some of his views are genuinely insane.

My worry is always that either he's insane or I'm too stupid to understand his genius.
I think it's both.

You know the government's in poor form when you've had as many PMs in the last 3 years as Carlton has coaches

Now that our season's extinguished, the Cubs streech run is pretty much all I have.

* Diego Costa, ******* provocative campaigner.

Yep. So glad we don't have send-off in AFL.

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

Yep. So glad we don't have send-off in AFL.

Agreed. We'll see umpires just totally overwhelmed by the occasion like Mike Dean was there.

Garbage decision. Will cost us the game.

 

[Syrah]

Is Hannibal Lecter playing for Chelsea?

 

[Gmod23]

Up there with the worst decision I have seen in football.

So frustrated. And Diego wasn't called once.

 

[Gmod23]

So frustrated. And Diego wasn't called once.

Red cards I think are required in AFL too. Just, it should not be by a field umpire. They get so overawed and make stupid decisions like this one.

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

* me this doubles rubber is tense. Sam Groth has me pumped.

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

3 blown set points on Jamie Murray's serve. Gawwwwn.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Thought we had it.

Edit: NOT OVER YET!

 

[Scary_Foot_9]

This fourth set has taken at least 3 years of my life.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Worth it.
