Australia vs. Sri Lanka - 1st Test - Jan 2019

[Woody15]

Then Boland, Siddle or Tremain. Not fussed just get more in that are firstly fit and secondly suit English conditions

Excuse me?

Dear lord can we not go back to Siddle again!

Maxwell is laughable on form, wouldn’t be totally against it though.

 

[frenchcutforsix]

I would have been happy with Burns, especially in the middle order actually. I do feel he could be a very good test 4 or 5.

Burns I’d be happy with. I’m also comfortable going young and not picking him.

Burns...what was the point in playing him over Pukovski again?

Who is this guy lmao

 

[HLM*]

Excuse me?

It seems not even he can keep track of the players he rates and players he thinks aren’t up to it.

You must be new here. LP#1 changes his opinions like he changes his football team - often.

 

[SSwans2011]

Even though Australia are in a winning position now you couldn't be that happy if you forked out good money to go along today to watch this live.

Two average batsmen grinding out runs slowly against an average bowling attack, you'd see more entertaining cricket at a Sheffield Shield game.

I disagree. They might see the first Test century by an Australian this Summer.

Worrell is a conditions based selection. I’d have played Sayers but he’s injured. Need guys that genuinely swing the ball not less. Starc has been rubbish for a while and Hazelwood is just coming back from injury.

The only bowlers who should be locked in are Lyon and Cummins

Do you know what cricket is? Lol

I'm currently enjoying it. Good test match batting from 2 under pressure batsman. You'd have to be pretty cynical to say it's not entertaining. Would be happier if the sun pissed off though

Yea I thought he was a wind up merchant. Tell me he's not taking the pi**??

No way. This batting side needs to learn how to bat for time. If they can then we get a crushing win and finally learn something from this summer.

 

[Badesumofu]

Cummins and Lyon pick themselves. I'd have Richardson in based on his bowling in the first innings. Starc has been well below his best, but his best is bloody good. Hazlewood has also been really disappointing this Summer, IMO.

From the batters, I'd probably drop Khawaja for Smith when he comes back. In a season where we needed him to step up and be the senior guy, playing in home conditions where he'd previously been pretty reliable - he's been poor. Some bad dismissals and just seems clueless against spin. That dismissal yesterday was bad - that ball was not remotely there to cut. Head would be our leading run scorer for the season just about, Harris looks worth persisting with, Labuschagne I'm coming around to.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Excuse me?

In England where he’s done well recently I’m not that against him. Everywhere else no thanks.

 

[Beutbrute]

Who is this guy lmao

Doesn't even rate Marsh, zero credibility

 

[Kram]

What's that hot blonde thinking getting a shit tattoo on her arm, geez.

 

[DamoESP]

I'll take the one on the right thanks

 

[frenchcutforsix]

Doesn't even rate Marsh, zero credibility

Don't worry he will in five minutes

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Need more in the crowd like South African crowds

Please dont pretend you were referring to everywhere else.

Its pretty obvious you think he's shit.

Siddle is hopeless

Can’t bowl
Can’t bat
Can’t field

Where’s Joe the Cameraman?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Don't worry he will in five minutes

I will never rate Marsh ever. Plonker and this test is so much better without knowing we have Marsh coming in.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Labuschahne’s disciplined, responsible approach seems to have had a calming effect on Head. No brain fades.
Nice shot, gee the outfields slow.

 

[Woody15]

Did the SCG have a pop up pool or a bar in the stands during the test match?

 

[Reppie]

All the outfields seem slow this season.
What's the deal with that?

Having fun is banned in Sydney.

In a ODI...in Australia. Yeah terrible selection there. In England, in a test where line and length bit of seam or swing each way is the receipe- no issues. In fact I’d be shocked if he’s not in the squad in some way shape or form.

 

[The Casey Cat]

I will never rate Marsh ever. Plonker and this test is so much better without knowing we have Marsh coming in.

Still have Khawaja though. The new Sean Marsh.

 

[Pacman Carney]

Who is this guy lmao

He only watches Australia bat.
Doesn’t watch them bowl.
