Thought that bounced ???

 

[bedford]

Can only hope ! Did that carry ?

No

 

[Mister B]

Khawaja. What a ****ing moron.

 

[Punts]

Far out

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Test series, especially in Australia seem to be decided by who bats the least crap these days. I put it down to T20 cricket which emphasises no footwork and just hitting the ball as hard as one can. Hence, very few batters seem to have the technique to survive playing on wickets that have a bit of life in them.

 

[bedford]

Surely Sean Abbott is a chance now

This game will be decided by whether Harry Brook gets away with swinging like a gate. If he gets a quick 50, Poms win.

Agree. If one of the poms slashes at everything and gets away then all of a sudden bazball is great and they will continue to play it as they go on their merry way to obscurity.

Id back us to defend anything above 150. Enough juice in the wicket for Starc and Boland to knock them over.

Bit shit tbh

We really haven't missed Hazlewood

We really haven't missed Hazlewood

I think an attack of Starc, Bedford and Wheresbuddy would've won this series.

 

[Mister B]

Why the **** are you hanging your bat out when your back foot is heading towards fine leg. Just stupidity.

 

[Mister B]

Holy shit. This is like watching the swans play at times this year. Just stupidity. Both teams need to start selecting, not on pure skill, but IQ.

 

[Punts]

will drop this

 

[Mister B]

Why the **** do we not have a player under the lid to start?

 

[Mister B]

Bowling like an absolute bunch of clowns when defending **** all runs. Absolute idiocy.

 

[Punts]

Game over

 

[Mister B]

Game over

Just all round stupidity. The batting, the opening overs, the bowling Neser for three overs. Just absolutely ****ing moronic. Now we have to listen to the fat unwashed plebs carry on like they are world beaters.

Play the youth in Sydney ! Got nothing to lose.

In: Kellaway, McSweeney, Murphy
Out: Jake, Green, Marnus

Uz to play his last match.

 

[Dan87]

Richardson has been good

The saying goes:
"Bowlers win tests, batsmen lose them"
So it went. Blind Freddy knew the pitch would improve.
Amazing to win 3 tests with three batsmen.
Starc looks exhausted.
I have tickets for the third day in Sydney (as usual). I'm praying for rain on one of the first two days.

Groundsman in Sydney has to prepare a road. CA losing a fortune that they can't afford.

I know he’s only really shown a lot in the Big Bash lately - but Cooper Connelly is the most talented young batsman in the country.

Averages 46 in the Shield.

It’ll be such a shame if he becomes a T20 mercenary.
