Australia v New Zealand 2nd Test at the MCG December 26-30

[deanc]

They're a sneaky chance of a win here given the temperatures and flattening of the pitch

'A flattening pitch', what? I must be watching a different match - ha ha....

That’s the point of drs “To get rid of the howler”.

You’re the numpty.

as I stated every incorrect decision by definition is a howler

"But but but its not a big enough incorrect decision'' FMD

 

[Ron The Bear]

Virtually no hope for NZ, but the game is at its most interesting since Burns was bowled with the fourth ball of the match.

EFA.
it's not just for howlers now, it's tactical and cricket fans would rather the correct decisions be made as often as possible, rather that settling for the mediocrity of what was before DRS.

 

[PhatBoy]

Have we hit a single cover drive this match lol?

Swear everytime our batsmen try to play it they nick off or the ball narrowly misses the edge.

Bowlers look on a different level.

to the slips cordon or wicketkeeper mayve

Not when lbw has been subjective since the rule was included.

You’re just a lame arse solicitor about this topic.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

A wicket would be nice

it was subjective until DRS, that's the point.

An LBW given when the batsman smashes it is a howler. One given when ball tracker says its missing by 51% of a ball width isnt

 

[Vegeta]

Chases the wide one.

Ugh, really bad shot. Out to a bad ball... ffs..

 

[k31th]

well done Patto-man! good catch Paine

 

[PhatBoy]

F*** that was a dumb shot

 

[Acinath]

Patto! Looking great!

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

A wicket would be nice

Youre welcome everyone

 

[Gough]

A wicket would be nice

Your wish etc etc...

 

[The Convert]

Only 12 batsmen in the world scored more runs and had a higher average than Wade in 2019. Which means he'd make a World 2nd XI

That's not good enough for you?

Nope
It is about where he takes us as well as scoring. We can find another who could do as well. He is batting well down the order after all.
As an aside not many teams play 6 straight batsmen.

That was a bad ball...

 

[Marmozet]

Bloke in the crowd yells out “Come on Jimmy” and he took a wicket with the very next ball.

 

[Ekomaira]

ask and ye shall receive

 

[PhatBoy]

Any test opener would be disgusted with that shot.
One who has been as good as Latham recently should be absolutely f***ing livid with himself

Was it Warnie?

OMG seriously

The Aussies cant use DRS because "it wasnt a big enough of a wrong decision'

people cling to their twit logic

 

[Groucho]

The old sucker ball

 

[PhatBoy]

Does anyone else see a vague resemblance between Williamson’s style and Chris Cairns?

 

[Gethelred]

Test batsman averaging 35 is simply not good enough.
Like Paine averaging 30, actually 20 since he came back in.
Burns another one

Since coming back into the test team (against England in 2017) Paine has averaged 30.45; from 38 innings, he's made 1008 runs and been dismissed 33 times.

I get that people want him dropped for whatever reason, but let's keep it to the truth, thanks.
