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

[TigerCraig]

So does Root doing well playing a trad test innings in terms of balls faced fly in the face of bAzBaLl ?

Moral duck

 

[Hawksboy72]

Great victorian cricketers.
Julien Weiner.
Jeff Moss.
Paul Hibberd.

 

[Kram]

Victorian Test bowling has come a long way since Jonathan Hastings.

It's still BazBall. I just think that the shot selection is becoming a bit more selective

Some of the worst ever players selected have been Victorians. Hastings and Quiney top the list of garbage IMO.

Way too soon

Still have nightmares of us resting our whole attack to have Hastings opening the bowling in a series decider

Best 9 of all time though

Wiener is the only Jewish Australian Test cricketer. A mate of mine played for the South Australan Jewish schoolboys cricket team which he said was as shit as it sounded.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Doggett reminds me of Joe Mennie a little bit

 

[Jack Lord]

Good game.

I think it's just the surface and drop in quality of the bowling alongside the fact that Root hasn't gone cheap this time round.

The only difference in the game is the dots Root has faced, IMO.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Good game.

Another whole day of this

 

[Gavin Excell]

Going at 2 since dinner break

Yeah that will hurt them

 

[Gethelred]

Why bowl Green now? Just gifting them loose balls.

McGain?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Century rooted now for Joe? Running out of partners!

4 wickets to get 18 runs is in Root's favour.

 

[satty]

Not sure about bowling Green here. Just undoing the pressure dogget and boland have built up.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Terrific, Doggett and Green bowling together. (sarcasm).

 

[Around the Wicket]

I’m not fan of day night Tests, this last session is too big a difference in play in the other 2 sessions

 

[010203]

That Inglis run out of Stokes could end up as significant as Nathan Lyon running out a well set James Vince on day 1 of the 2017-18 Ashes Test at the Gabba.

 

[satty]

Surely green is just bowling for a change of ends for one of the main bowlers?

Otherwise these 2 will just feat of his pies.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Starc now please

 

[ams4crows]

Well Jacks looks like he has better technique than Pope

 

[TY24]

Wouldn't mind seeing a bit of line and length from Green. Feels like he's searching for a wicket every ball.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Green is bowling pus.
