Test The Ashes Second Test December 4-8 1430hrs @ The Gabba

[SC_Power]

Brave keeping from Carey being up to the stumps against Neser without a helmet, he isn't a medium pacer, he is fast medium.

I thought he had one on?

 

[norway blue]

Look forward to this session. On par. So far. Imo.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Starc is good. Wasim is better. Wasim in another league. Anyone who thinks that Starc is better than Wasim has a poor feel for the game and is poor at assessing players.

I don’t understand why this needs to be said. Enjoy the entertainment that Starc brings rather than insulting others opinions.

 

[Nemisis]

How is Bailey in charge of selection? Average Test player and woeful selector.

 

[MarcMaverick]

How many grams of coke had been consumed by the people who decided that Westpac ad was an awesome idea.

Coke is too weak these days.

 

[SC_Power]

I don’t think they’d get away with what that old Pakistani team use to do with the ball

You mean Pakisandpaper?

 

[Bucking Beads]

How is Bailey in charge of selection? Average Test player and woeful selector.

Everyone agrees

 

[MarcMaverick]

We're kings of the jungle that's why! You'll understand when you win something ya peasant.

Plus for a back-to-back coach he is very humble.

That's an easy single to gift Root at the start of a session.

 

[HitTheNailOnTheHead]

Wasim was one of the greatest of all time. Starc is a good player who isn't even the best in his generation.

 

[Bradesmaen]

And? Right now he's on fire. A year ago he was shit.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Gave a word salad explanation.

Lyon’s reaction to being dropped revealed

Selection chair George Bailey has detailed what the veteran spinner told him when he was axed and when Pat Cummins would play in the Ashes series.

Every time they drop Lyon it’s a dumb move

 

[Tigerat2020]

The advertising on Australia's shirt is a disgusting sell out.

 

[dumb]

Ball not doing enough, let's check it

 

[Around the Wicket]

Good umpiring not folding to pressure and giving them a replacement ball

 

[MarcMaverick]

Root at 69, nice.

 

[HitTheNailOnTheHead]

And? Right now he's on fire. A year ago he was shit.

Mitchell Starc rules as pink-ball king for Australia in second Test with India

In the day-night Test format, nobody has done it better with the ball and Mitchell Starc proved it once again at the second Test with India

[Millky95]

Throws like a keeper lol

 

[Lunchtime]

I don’t understand why this needs to be said. Enjoy the entertainment that Starc brings rather than insulting others opinions.

Well I said it so that's that.

 

[Spirit Level]

Would've been nice if the umpires had the same mindset when England wanted to change the ball in 2023

 

[Around the Wicket]

How is Bailey in charge of selection? Average Test player and woeful selector.

Too be honest everyone that ends up in that position are generally bog average at it so must be some politics involved

 

[darcytiger]

Welp, this session decides the match

Tests actually go for 5 days

 

[Plugger35]

Starc has gone past Dennis Lillee's record for test wickets too, that doesn't mean he's a better bowler, he's just played more tests

 

[rdhopkins2]

Root on 69*


Guido Hatzsis joke incoming

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Less than 50 overs and it's the evening session? Not even going to get the second new ball at this rate.
