Why is there no silly point? Bolland would be gone quickly

 

[Whiskers]

Why not Carey opening with Uzzie at 5 and Head st six.
Couldn't do much worse.

This. Agree, if you don’t want Harris but want Khawaja and Head that is the best option.
Also night watchmen are overrated at any time. Except Boland, I love him

 

[Moonwatcher]

Ni

If our top 3 got skittled for nothing, why are we sending in a nightwatchman?

Night watchmen apply themselves so aren't in the same danger.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Can the commentators stop encouraging time wasting tactics? Hate it when the opposition do it to us.

 

[Marcel Proust]

How, it had cramp him right up at 148k.

Love the Big Footy experts

By attempting to block it down , from near his face.

It would be risky - was a good ball

 

[peternorth]

Where are the rest of the barmy army?

 

[ABAB]

Incorrect. Didn't drop his gloves.

Not my problem if you have trouble accepting the facts.

Didn't have time, it was an unplayable well direct bouncer by a very fast bowler which followed him.

How many keepers open in Test cricket?

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Do a Broad and chew up some time Scotty

 

[The hands of stone]

It was a brute of a ball, but he still could've dropped his gloves.

The guy is bowling 140kph plus , sometimes it isnt that simple

 

[Joffaboy]

So? He’s a professional cricketer.

Yes professional cricketers who bat never ever get out to professional cricketers who bowl.
FMD you people

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Harris Average 48 in he’s last 3 innings

Don’t reckon Warner’s going to get dropped averaging 1 in he’s last 3 innings

 

[Gaben]

It's all so easy for the experts sitting on their arse on the couch.

Bigfooty makes for hilarious reading. Every dismissal is soft and inexcusable. He's a professional cricketer, how could he possibly get out to a world class bowler bowling with 15 over old ball at 150 clicks at 10PM at night? Pathetic

 

[DEVO]

Why is there no silly point? Bolland would be gone quickly

Because you are only allowed 9 fielders. Can't put them everywhere.

 

[deanc]

Lol, 148km bouncer at your throat under lights at 10PM

Yeah poorly played by Usman... I've no doubt some the BF expert cricketers in here, would of just hooked that rubbish into the Derwent river..!

 

[k31th]

Billings looks shocked that they're not all going up with him and not reviewing haha

 

[troybe]

Where are the rest of the barmy army?

Gone AWOL


Sent from my Louis Vuitton Jaffle Maker

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

That should be a warning for excessive appealing.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Where are the rest of the barmy army?

passed out?

 

[10571z]

Because you are only allowed 9 fielders. Can't put them everywhere.

They chucked one in now. He isn’t playing shots. Chuck everyone in close, put the pressure on

 

[Kuuz]

Like the grass shoots that emerged on this wicket, so too have the pea heart punters that have emerged on BigFooty forum when a few wickets fall.

The BigFooty Match Selection Committee, based on half the comments after some wickets in tough conditions, would represent an abattoir.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Where are the rest of the barmy army?

There wouldn't be many down in Tassie.

 

[Joffaboy]

Where are the rest of the barmy army?

In a covid ward somewhere in England

 

[Marcel Proust]

Boland looks like Laxman

 

[11kgm]

flatten out tomorrow get this 200 all-out
