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

[norway blue]

Have Green at 5, Webster at 6 and Carey at 7, Carey has had a good series with the bat but Green and Webster are the better batsman. Green doesn't bowl he just focuses on his batting. We use Webster for the extra overs.

Green must
bowl overs 10. !

Tongue and Stokes will notch up their ton today.

Can Potts notch up the first double ton of the summer?

Is the Thanks Uzzy sign painted on the ground?

You need t find your seats real early when Smitty is still in at the start of play.

First session critical today

Justin Greaves already did.

Doesn't look like it. The overlay for on-field ads in cricket is sublime compared to other sports like F1 and Supercars. It's the one advertising innovation I can get behind because it leaves the oval pristine in person.

 

[Bedi]

Fair start that by Smith

 

[compact72]

Does Stoke really need to carry on every ball?

 

[the_interloper]

Slug should be looking at a ton here, bowlers look cooked and Smith isn't going anywhere, golden opportunity.

 

[Anzacpaul]

Smith must've kept batting since stumps yesterday in his mind. Seeing them like beach balls already.

 

[cats_09]

Justin Greaves already did.

The young player to watch is Kellaway but when do you bring him in and would you bat him at 5 or 6 to start with.Big Bash is not going to help his development and important he works on his batting as a opener in the remaining shield games.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Does Stoke really need to carry on every ball?

Yes.

Would he cop more criticism for his carry on if he wasn't the captain?

Australia have had a lot of luck this series:

• Stumbled on Head as Opener after Khawaja hurt his back.
• Haven't been punished for continuing to play Green.
• Will get away with not playing spinner in Sydney.
• Weatherald has done just enough to hide second opening spot deficiency,

Felt Matt Renshaw deserved another chance, but have to stick it out against Weatherald now.

When do we next go to South Africa, think the above would really be exposed over there.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Get 250 ahead

Is the Thanks Uzzy sign painted on the ground?

Yes.

[hawkman]

I am so keen to see Kellaway in a baggy green. Maybe some first class cricket in England first?

commentator mozz alert You can really tell if he's in form in his first few balls I reckon, sometimes he looks all at sea and you know he's most likely not making many, sometimes he's locked in straight away.
