Thats one way to avoid a full body cramp

Renshaw's apparently got covid. Hanscomb one of the sub fielders and potential like-for-like replacement.

Matt Renshaw tests positive for Covid on Test recall

The left hander will continue in the match but Peter Handscomb has been listed among Australia's sub fielders

Why the hell aren’t the players wearing a helmet at silly point?

Pink test is softer than a regular test.

Is Mark Waugh taking the piss?

Nah, it happens every year about this time. The BBL grade-cricket-callup chucks down a couple of tight overs and then he's the next coming of Warne.

Not out

 

[Ochre]

Abysmal decision, fingers were clearly under it

Any part of the ball touches the ground it's not out. I agree one of his fingers is under it, but it's pressed into the ground. Side on shot is clearly not out.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Clear stick with the soft signal for me, front on looked dead out, some doubt on the side angle.

Very stiff for SA.

Bad light? Hahahahaha.

FFS cricket.

 

[WCE_phil]

Honestly that is an absolute joke. Calling bad light at 1.45pm in the day..... It's test cricket, lower light in the middle of the day is a ****ing test.

 

[DanWCE]

Sydney is shit. Go die in a fire.

 

[THE A5]

They should fold New South Wales tbh

 

[squashface]

Bad light? Whinging about mankading?

Is cricket the most precious sport going around?

Whinging about coaches and sponsors..

 

[Dazzler9]

If the light is bad, sorry, play has to stop. It gets too dangerous with a red ball, even under floodlights. If players could see the red ball when it gets dark, we wouldn't be using white and pink balls in other games.

I swear the Sydney test gets ****ed around every single season.
Just **** it off from January already. Swap it for a December date.

Make the Perth test the permanent NY test and start it on the 2nd.

Make precious Pat & Co spend their NYE in Perth.

Adelaide oval deserves NY test over us tbh. Optus is a superior stadium but not a cricket ground and doesn’t have the history that AO has

Imagine the possibility of a competition where events could be shared amongst states and stadiums instead of hearing people use the phrase "it's tradition" to make sure they get the access to what they want.

 

[Dazzler9]

Imagine there's no borders
It isn't hard to do
No games to fight or argue for
And no tradition too

Imagine all the people,
Sharing all the grounds...
