Best 9 out of 17?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Very different conditions in the second test. Flat, dry pitch. Was like playing in Australia.

We haven't shown an ounce of fight this series, let's be honest.

We can't tough it out in difficult conditions.

Concept of leaving swinging balls off the stumps early in the innings seems to be lost on supposed professional batsman.

Don't be silly just keep going till we draw the series

Yet they were able to do it last night

Extremely frustrating.

We've got belted in the series and I don't think England are a better team than us.

Has to be mental then?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Has to be mental then?

Definitely

Batted very arrogantly at times. Over confident, didn't respect the bowlers or conditions. Just used to bullying attacks and backing our skills which works fine in Australia.

Hopefully this series means we'll be better prepared when we head to New Zealand which could be similar conditions.

Smith on 87 and Voges 74 in case anyone's watching the footy and forgot about the cricket

Cannot refer that surely! Plumber than plumb

Referred and it was very plumb

 

[Scorpus]

Oh no! Smith!

 

[Scorpus]

Wow but it's a HUGE no ball!

Wow but it's a HUGE no ball!

This bloke's prettty quick from 18 yards!

 

[Anzacpaul]

Jesus smith put the bat away for a couple of overs. How that no ball wasn't called live I don't know

Like the goal review, cricket umps get lazy too.

 

[Scorpus]

Marsh gone, gotta question whether he's the right sort of player for test cricket

Not too many options right now. Still plenty of time for him.
Would need to replace Rogers, Clarke and possibly Voges. Not with other Marsh hopefully too.

I agree he has got time on his side, thankfully. Better than having Watson in the team

Referred it because he thought it was missing leg.

He was right... but it was missing it to the left

 

[Scorpus]

Nice hundo there from Smith

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I recall that we made plenty of runs in the 5th test last series in England

 

[Scorpus]

Not a good effort from the past couple of batsman

 

[adelaidecrows]

Too little too late. A win in this test i dont think wins us anything let alone respect from anyone.

They want to keep that 2nd place in the test ranking.

They want to keep that 2nd place in the test ranking.

They should worry more about development
