Game Day Swans Board Cricket Thread - Ashes 25/26

[Dubai Quacker]

He reminds me so much of Warwick Todd.

It’s always intrigued me why short blokes with moustaches tend to be sporting cult heroes in Australia.

A subconscious throwback to a colonial past?

A nod to laconic style?

Or a smug knowledge that they aren’t the type your girlfriend would leave you for?

That's my secret

Told ya told ya told ya.

Green is an absolute spud. Useless. Hang your head in shame CA for gifting this joke of a cricketer 5 tests. Stick to hit and giggle.

I called it early.

OVERRATED !

 

[Punts]

Well done smith

 

[The King!]

Love Smith, still think Ponting was better though .

Green can get in the bin

 

[tombomb]

Oh god, Cox looks happy at the cricket.

 

[Swannnnn]

Geez Coxy looks like he had a day out haha

 

[Dan87]

Nothing wrong with knowing when to have a good time

 

[swanssince2002]

Coxy hanging onto the hand rail for dear life with a glass in hand is one of the highlights of the day!

Batted better than the bloke that came in after Smith who should've retired this time last year

Agree about Ponting

Can't wait for a do gooder to say he didn't have a pink tie and shouldn't be drinking and enjoying himself

 

[bedford]

What a great day of test cricket , it's the only form of proper cricket

Webster looks more at ease batting. Much better technique, smooth vs the choppy robotic green. Fun fact, if he scores another 108 runs tomorrow he will have scored more than Green the entire series. He will for sure pass Greens highest score in his first dig. Hard done by, but CA has their favourites.

What about that flog Greenberg and CA banning the ABC after Stuart Clark told some home truths

Watson
Mitch Marsh
Green

All below test standard but all consistently selected due to Australia’s desperation to find an all-rounder.

Yet there's been a test standard all rounder in Neser sitting there the whole time

Don't even need one really when usually the bowling attack has been good

And Cummins and Starc fill that role and blessed to have Carey

Greenberg rightly stood up for the people who work for him. Joke that Clark is criticizing a group of people who have won a World Cup, a World test championship and went 3-0 up in this series. We also beat India here last year. Clark is a sour t...d who offers very little as a commentator. ABC used to have quality. Pretty ordinary now.

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Webster passes green already. 100 runs to go to beat greens total runs this series

Ha ha Turn it up . Even if we said Clark was a sour turd, banning a broadcaster from interviewing players is toys out of the cot behaviour . Have to be pretty precious to do that.

Webster probably denied a ton thanks to Green batting above him
