It's almost impossible to make 100 in that. And yes, possible to be bowled by a bouncer.

(7.1) It's a bouncer!
(7.1) It's bowled

Score: 10 out for 86

Second Innings

My digital recreation is coming along very nicely then

The Stars can rightly feel pissed that so far they're the only ones who have been forced to play with most of their side out with COVID while other teams get multiple postponements.

Surely they just have to send all teams to one city and a heap of backups/fillins. Makes things easier to reschedule games with all teams in the same location.

I think the Heat will be in the same boat tomorrow.

There's a very, very small chance that we get a full season of footy in this year imo

It's going to be a shit show

Can see some short term contracts offered to state league players to make up numbers

Finally the midseason draft comes into its own!

Almost a box on in the middle of the wicket in south africa between Bumrah and Jansen.. old umpire Erasmus had to get the skates on to get between them..

Has Bumrah has had a Wirrpanda-esque name update?

David Bumrah? I never knew.

I think you're mistaking him for David Boon, easy to do

 

[Truckosaurus]

My money's on Bumrah - he's got the reach and given he can top 140kph off a few steps he's probably got mad upper body strength.

6'8'', bit of a giant is Marco Jensen

Green

Green

Surely gotta question his place by now. His bowling is plenty handy but he's gotta contribute with the stick. Marsh for the 5th Test?

 

[Ochre]

Hobarts a dead rubber so there's no point dropping Green but I can't imagine he plays the first test in Pakistan (or wherever our next test is after CA inevitably pulls out of that tour)

Nope, they will stick with him. In poor form with the bat no doubt but, like Harris, he will be given the full series.
Marsh hasn't looked at a red ball in about 12 months. In amazing form with the white ball but we all know that rarely translates to red ball with no recent form.

 

[RanaNaved]

The way Green is playing it looks as though it's just a matter of time before he edges behind, is LBW or bowled.

Be interesting to see how many non forward defensive shots he's played this series.......

 

[Ochre]

Why would they not just give Bairstow the gloves if Buttler has hurt his finger?
