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

[jb04]

Getting keen to see if Trav comes back and gets tons in 5 Adelaide tests in a row now.

 

[Leon Higgins]

Green has bowled 27 overs for the series, think a fifth bowling specialist is wildly unnecessary. 4 bowlers and an all rounder is plenty enough

Until he starts scoring runs, he is nothing but a part time bowler. Not an all rounder

 

[JimmyBC]

He's not a traditional opener but you'd think that he will come off often enough to make it worthwhile

Plus we seem to have more middle order options than top order options at present

I think he has to stay at the top of the order now I think he will score more tons there than back at 5.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Did he? I cant remember now

Yep, when he got his 200 IIRC.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Total classic Trav.

Let the booze flow like water.

 

[Pistol Night]

Travis Head is fast becoming a modern day great.

Best thing is he does it in huge moments

 

[philreich]

It would be highly unlikely but that would still leave that door ajar I feel.

I want it completely shut. Need to wipe the floor with them and set 400.

I'd go 500 if we can bat that long. Why even leave the door slightly ajar?

 

[Redline]

I'd be aiming for a 500 run lead from here, and declaring before tea tomorrow.

Four sessions plus maybe half an hour in the middle session will be enough to bowl them out.

I would declare at lunch tomorrow, it's only an extra hour and a half but it makes tomorrow much harder to get through.

I think we have enough already but by lunch we should be 450 in front.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Floodgates to open now Jacks is back

Tricky against the Kiwis.

 

[Neese]

Travis Head is fast becoming a modern day great.

Thoroughly entertaining too.

 

[Mister B]

500. No point giving them any chance.

Bit of the old Steve Waugh mental disintegration.

 

[Pistol Night]

Total classic Trav.

Let the booze flow like water.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Could go down as our best batsmen since Clarke?

smith excluded*

There isn’t many in the conversation

Warner is still above him, is Ussie even above him? That one’s tight. I’d say Head over Marnus even with slightly worse numbers

 

[Joffaboy]

Made many, many, many wrong calls

But one goodie:

Pfft, mods editing posts to make themselves look good

 

[Duckimus Prime]

When they bring this Carsehole on they should start opening the flood gates.

Carse has literally been coming on all series and getting gifted wickets while being carted.

He's England's top wicket taker.

100% the teams Waugh captained had some ****en mongrel.

 

[JackFlash]

The question now is what do they do about Green? Win lose or draw his place in the team must be in jeopardy. He's not Test standard at the moment and probably should be playing BBL and then the rest of the shield matches for the remainder of the season. Marnus is also still a weak link!

 

[adogsfan5]

What a star.

The end of McCullum if they lose this?

 

[Pistol Night]

We'd have it be mid afternoon session tomorrow. They aint lasting 130 overs

Webster in. Form was fine before this

 

[MarcMaverick]

Trav is winning off field as well.

 

[JimmyBC]

Why they interview wags will forever baffle me.. who gives a flying rats arse

 

[Moonwatcher]

Brook dropped Khawaja on 5 in the first innings too

Cmon, Warner's were always great..
