Props to Head for capitalizing on the hard yards, needs to go on with it now.

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Great knock from Head. Pretty mature innings, but needs to kick on now

 

[The Convert]

We should start every summer at the gabba.

India refused. Spoil their tour

 

[Kapow!!!]

Good knock so far by Head. Has played this innings well so far

 

[Gavin Excell]

Well done Head

These are important runs in context of the game

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Great knock trav. Keep going

 

[Richard Pryor]

Cummins looking more comfortable than any batsman other than Head and Handscomb, and Khawaja at the start of his innnings.

 

[DaRick]

Good stuff from Head.

A bright spark in a pretty gloomy day.

 

[Tassieboy]

This outfield is far too slow.

 

[smasha]

Solid knock by Head,a shining light.

Good partnership this.

Both taking the game on with positive batting.

I didnt used to applaud 50’s but i’ll applaud head for that one. That’s how bad our batting is.

Would like to change our batting line up for our next innings to this:

Harris
Khawaja
Handscomb
Head
Finch
Paine
Cummins
Starc
Lyon
Marsh
Hazlewood

Nice head

 

[Bob Neil]

Carey is definitely next i the queue and would be playing but for the leadership issue. Wade isn't the answer as a keeper or batsman, he's no doubt a fighter but way too much bottom hand for my liking. Paine is skipper until the next leader emerges....and he may be doing it just now, I'd put Head as Test Captain before Ussie for a number of reasons.

ball's pretty old now. hope he goes alright against the new ball

 

[Redline]

Good knock by Head, I know age doesn't come into it much but he is 10 years younger than Marsh and 8 years younger than Finch. Moving Finch down the order at the expense of Head as was suggested earlier is ridiculous.

Fat boy finch out and Ferguson or cooper in

Travis Head looking very comfortable. Can’t believe I ever actually doubted his ability. I know it’s his home deck, but he’s facing some tough bowling.

As an Adelaide person, I've sat back and read all the criticism of Head, one poster suggested he will make a pair and disappear from the scene. It's been rather amusing. There's no doubting Head's ability to play at Test level. I'm not a total fan as yet because he tends to not turn 50s into 100s .... hopefully he will in this Test. He's also a possible future captain if the situation presents itself. Very pleased in how he's batted today.

Symptomatic of the character over cover drive era

In these circumstances, it's a very good innings. Some fifties really need all the applause they get.

Yeah saw every ball bowled.

I'd take Carey. More upside, just as justified. Future potential leader. He's 27 - if he isn't ready now, how old does he have to be? I'm not sure if he'll ever average more than 40 in FC which is what he's doing this season.

He’s had a woeful Shield season today has been the first times he’s done anything this year

 

[Balls In]

Good observation about Cummins' uncomplicated technique by Warnie. There's a lot of "batting coaches" around this country who should be ashamed of themselves.

Warnie would probably be our best batman if he was playing

Hazlewood a tad unlucky to bat after Marsh
