Why not send in Green and Carey to bay? God knows most of the top 5 (besides Warner) have seen enough time at the crease this series. Green looked super rusty, need to get him in better form for South Africa.

Because they're both not opening batsman.

Green's rusty and asking him to open will do more harm than good IMO.

Green should have come in at 3.

What are we gaining from Marnus and Smith coming out when we're 400 ahead?

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Because they're both not opening batsman.

Yeah, I meant send them in at 3 and 4. They need it more than Marnus, Smith and Head.

In other matches, Pakistan went into day 2 in a pretty good position, but then they went Full Pakistan and lost 8 wickets for about 60 runs.

"Bit of aggression from Head" Isa Ghua says. Even better, the wife jumped on the comment straight away

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Wasting Green during the white ball crap so he can't play Shield, drop catch after catch off his bowling, inflexible batting order does him in.

Way to develop your young all-rounder. Zero time at the crease, will be a walking wicket against SA.

Gee it would be nice to see Green not get out immediately every time he bats

Add being blamed for running out Head when blame for that was far more 50/50 than commentary around it would have you believe

Boland

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Flawless over by Boland.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Boland's using cheat codes again

 

[Truckosaurus]

Flawless over by Boland.

Nah, couldn't even get a hattrick.

 

[squashface]

Not a single wicket from Boland that over. Delist.

 

[Ochre]

How good would it be if Boland was born literally anywhere but Victoria

 

[Mop]

Boland is a beast

Pete Lalor reporting that he suspects Warner will be forced into retirement after this summer unless he finds form quickly

Good. He's always been a liability overseas.

Its a worry....but I have faith that cam can work through it. The faster bowlers of SA could suit him and he does enjoy batting at the GABBA

I have actually really enjoyed his role as the enforcer this test with the ball....its just a shame his bloody team mates can't catch

 

[Tugga27]

Decent article on Green Dog.

Cameron Green's growing pains on a steep learning curve

Highly promising allrounder is experiencing the ups and downs of being an all-format player, and will likely come out better for it

Boland reminds me of Kevin Nash.

 

[KBLT]

Head will find a way to blame Greeny for that drop

 

[Ochre]

He's had a bad series imo, but credit where it's due, two ridiculously good catches from Carey there

Boland or Neser if Cummins is fit and Hazelwood isn't? Neser is from Queensland and arguably bowled better over the whole test, and the whinging from the Vics would be wonderful.
