Test The Ashes Fifth Test January 4-8 1000hrs @ The SCG

[AlwaysHawks15]

With this team selection they better bat for two days

There's really no excuse not to you got Webster batting at 8, that's why I'm not overly concerned if they pile on the runs. We really should to and the pitch will flatten out even more.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Why's Green going on and on but Webster got 2 to try

Because Smith is a stupid captain

I miss Nathan Lyon

This curator def made this pitch flat after what happened at the G.

Shaved down to 5mm of grass.

Road.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Can we try the spinner?...oh wait!

 

[SC_Power]

Just 5 tests too late. This is where Bazball failed the first 2 tests. They’re still scoring at nearly 5 an over playing smart cricket.

The first 2 tests you just needed to get through the first hour or so and let the ball soften and it got better for batting.

another poster who thinks BazBall is just trying to smash everything.
It’s not, but not surprised based on those in the media who wouldn’t have seen an England test since the last Ashes series.

 

[GreekLunatic]

So if you shave it down from 10 mm to 5 mm of grass it becomes a road

Started out as a much better version of Mitch Marsh, now is looking like a poor man's version

Mitch Marsh had a total of 46 test... Green is not far back from it.. At least Marsh probably got dropped 6 times by now

It's more based more sort of ODI type batting rather than just smashing it.

Isa with the what ifs'. LOL.

 

[Some Idiot]

Tea break can't come soon enough. Think the Aussies need to regroup

 

[Lunchtime]

Because Smith is a stupid captain

Not in Mark Taylor's league as a captain.

 

[SportsCentre]

Is Webster not part of the clique?
Is this why he's consistently shunned for Green?
I'm clutching at straws, because logical reasons aren't logicalling.

Not only was Cricket Australia all but openly demanding it, but all the media toadies and most of the campaigners on this forum were cheering it on too.

This is the type of pitch the people want, apparently.

Did you watch the first 2 tests?

 

[Moonwatcher]

Foxtel is flickering to a black screen every so often. Is that happening on 7?

 

[Struggle]

Why is green still on?

Give Ussie a farewell over instead of letting this guy keep serving up dogshit

 

[Plugger35]

Looks a pretty good first day pitch to me, something in it for the bowlers in the first session that gets easier to bat on after lunch.

I don't think anyone here would be complaining if Australia had won the toss and got to bat first on this pitch and be at 3 for 200.

Isa with the what ifs'. LOL.

Foxtel keeps cutting out on me. Means I don't have to listen to her waffle on.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

At least give Head a crack at this stage

 

[SportsCentre]

Punter breaking the narrative, questioning what the rest of us are also questioning

 

[eddiesmith]

Foxtel is flickering to a black screen every so often. Is that happening on 7?

Yes

 

[MarcMaverick]

Is anyone elses transmission getting interrupted?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Green is dogshit.
