Test The Ashes Third Test December 17-21 1000hrs @ The Adelaide Oval

[MarcusP2]

These two need to get us to the close.

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

That is really poor.

Green can piss off

 

[Pistol Night]

You were saying…

I can only provide so much encouragement to him 7 beers deep on a Friday arvo. Should have padded up myself, put a can behind the stumps and had a swing

 

[Kapow!!!]

4-234 is still well ahead in this game. But 2 quick wickets have turned dominance into a chance for England. Lets see how the South Australians consolidate.

 

[Bedi]

Stokes and Archer are both utterly cooked.

Have they actually said that?

 

[Bob Neil]

I like the idea of Green as much as anyone but it’s time for him to have a spell. His thinking appears muddled and that very late tap of the bat makes him look rushed. Time to go back to the Shield level and work on things.

 

[Beejay Crow]

Should have learnt from the ball before....but didn't. Get Webster in NOW!

 

[Permission Capable]

Realllllly sick of your shit Green. Just don't deliver. Give me Webster please.

 

[two blue tiger]

Surely “looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane” has to go now. An absolute waste of space with a vacuum for a brain….

 

[hawkman]

Ollie Pope looks like scoring more runs than Green. Getting out to the same shot after being beaten the ball before is very Bazballish

 

[MarcMaverick]

Neese you angry at me or Green?

 

[Sonny Hayes]

Got thrown under the bus both innings by the previous wicket

Please

 

[beatnik]

How the hell do they pay that catch? It clearly touched the ground after going cleanly into Brooks fingers at first

 

[Coach_Required]

Is Stokes injured? He ran after that ball like he had a bad back.

 

[swingdog]

Just for context, the BBC noted that Green has pretty much the same test average and discrepancy with his first class performance as Pope.

Pope, who everyone agrees is about to be dropped.

 

[FreoRicci]

Good bye Green. That’s crap

 

[Jimthegreat]

Green and Marnus, so poor outside off stump. No footwork. Both were walking wickets.

 

[fuic08]

Got thrown under the bus both innings by the previous wicket

Yep unfair to Green that he has to come in after a wicket everytime hey

 

[MarcMaverick]

Is Stokes injured? He ran after that ball like he had a bad back.

Don't you start.

 

[Sphynx]

Yeah, I think Green can have a stint. 32 with the bat, 36 with the ball and averaging 5 overs an innings isn’t good enough for a test 6.

He’s basically Mitch Marsh at the same age.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Go SA fellas

They’ll save us.

As always.

 

[Hawksboy72]

Green as a batsman looks to robotic at times.

 

[CakeEater]

Why do i feel a thats just the way he plays dismissal from head coming up

 

[TazHawk15]

Webster is a better bowler and batsman than Green and has a bit of ticker.

FFS get him in.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Gotta laugh. Green snared a wicket, (yes 1 wicket) in England’s first innings, and quite a few posters wanted to know, “where are the Green haters now”. FFS, this bloke has had a charmed life in the Australian team, and consistently doesn’t live up to expectations. He’s not up to test match cricket. Time he had an extended holiday from the team.

In Webster, out Green for the Boxing Day test.
