2nd Test; Australia v Pakistan @ Adelaide Over (D/N) November 29-December 3

[PhatBoy]

A moments silence for Mark Cosgroves career

Considering some of the players who have been given a chance for Australia, it’s criminal that a man with 36 first class hundreds never played a test

Bring back Siddle

No let’s not

We saw how awful he was at The Oval

 

[RohitSharma]

Yasir is averaging 84.50 this series, fourth highest run scorer

 

[DaRick]

Listening to Warne commentate I'm actually baffled as to how he took 708 Test wickets?

He's just not smart, the amount of talent to outperform his own stupidity during his career must have been incredible.

Probably could've had 1000 Test wickets if he had half a brain.

His tendency to hold grudges colours his commentary substantially.

 

[PhatBoy]

You are a professional athlete.

You owe it to the people who pay you to atleast take it professionally.

LeBron James is kicking arse in his 17th year because he's not unfit.

Yasir Shah if I’m not mistaken is the fastest bowler in history to 200 test wickets and now has a century.

Yeah I bet he’s kicking himself for not doing enough shuttle runs.

 

[danielnajdek]

Paine needs to take a s**t like his captaincy.

Yeah right. You'd know. He could certainly captain.

 

[hawkman]

One of the best parts of this is you know that someone like Yasir Shah getting 100 will annoy Warne even more that he couldn't

 

[Richard Pryor]

Yasir is averaging 84.50 this series, fourth highest run scorer

Imagine if he can get his bowling average below his batting average, could make an allrounder out of him.

 

[PAFC_1870]

Yeah I bet he’s kicking himself for not doing enough shuttle runs.

You reckon he wouldn't be better if he was fit?

If not, why do we care about fitness? Why have all the support professional athletes have...

 

[Richard Pryor]

Yeah right. You'd know. He could certainly captain.

Yeah, just ask him!

 

[Richard Pryor]

I don't think it's as important for legspinners, probably better off putting time into developing a flipper in the nets than putting time in in the gym. Although with how much Shah gets overbowled he could probably use any fitness he can get.

Wrong era for Cossie, Buchanan only barely tolerated Warne.

 

[RookiePick]

Good knock but just about fell on his sword!

Maybe, but I'd take Smith who runs back to the hotel when he fails... Instead of catching a cab to the pub...

 

[PAFC_1870]

Although with how much Shah gets overbowled he could probably use any fitness he can get.

Carrying extra kilos in a summer sport, bowling all day will never help.

There's good reasons why AFL players have been fat shamed.

 

[Greenstar5]

How good is it when the tail make runs.

He’s a leg spinner.

Remind me how much diet effects men who’s job it is to walk to the crease.

Some guy commentating at the moment seemed to do ok living on pizza and baked beans.

 

[Richard Pryor]

Why is Lyon back on before Cummins? I don't know what the plan is here.

Well Warne has never been accused of being an academic - and his commentary style of labouring on a point specifically about tactics is exactly what Taylor and Waugh had to endure during his playing days...

You are making it sound that if they play OK, well who cares.... Well what about if they actually were fit? How much better could they be? Do you reckon he's running to the boundary as easily as Warner? He's still gotta run between the wicket with the bat...

'Criminal' please.. they guy's attitude has always completely stunk.

100% correct decision to overlook him.

 

[omarlittle1]

Knock these crabs over FFS. Bat all night, then bowl at em for 2 days. Should be an easy win. Perhaps just not as easy as we thought. Frustrating, but not the end of the world.

 

[OffTheBit]

Yasir Shah has a better 50-100 conversion ratio than Joe Root

 

[Dez!]

Yeah right. You'd know. He could certainly captain.

Disagree completely, he tries way too hard to show off his "intellect" but ends up coming out with something completely idiotic that leaves you scratching your head.

He's like Slobbo, thinks he's wise but really he's just a drunk idiot.
