Aussie Cricket WTC and Ashes 25/26

[bedford]

A big season starting tonight with the WTC and us in trouble playing a dodgy opening partnership
Happy to put my name to this thread

 

[bedford]

Both openers have to go
Great knock by Smith , he's a freak

 

[Mister B]

Dominant first innings lead in the context of things. Aussies have the opportunity to bat for a day and put this out of reach pretty quickly.

Usman , that's a straight ball, too old , time to retire

 

[McGowan3]

Pretty ordinary batting by both sides, especially in a WCT final. Headline on Cricinfo says Aussies are in a stronger position. Not sure of that.

It's now gone too far Sean Abbott called up , this spud has pics of someone

 

[McGowan3]

Got the baggy green in the brown paper bag when he got his baggy blue.

Absolute joke and all Usman is worth now is for catching practice , how worse could Konstas have done , might have put them off with a quickfire 20 or 30 odd

 

[McGowan3]

Konstas should play every test in West Indies. Marnus needs a spell. Inglis to replace Smith while he is injured.

So you keep Usman ?

 

[McGowan3]

Played well v Sri Lanka in latest series series. Double hundred I think. Bumrah destroyed him v India but he does it to everybody. Made runs in last test innings v India when Bumrah didn't bowl. Can make big hundreds. If he dips out v Windies, maybe time for a rethink. Marnus hasn't fired a shot for a long time.

 

[bedford]

What a brittle top order , i like Green , but he's a 5 or 6
Usman is done

 

[bedford]

The Poms attack which is no good would be getting excited

Batting world wide struggles on pitches that do anything. T20 etc have ruined techniques. Bazball England at home make sure every pitch is a road.

Young players go to T20 as no future trying to get selected at the top level . Retire Usman

 

[bedford]

The shit talk has started and i like what Warner said , which is rare

 

[bedford]

Test squad name , HTF does Abbott get in it

 

[bedford]

Abbott averages over 30 in 1st class cricket
