SL lost. Jesus Christ. Bangladesh out there asserting dominance [emoji23]

Thank **** I’m not a dual citizen.

Bangladesh winning has left England on the bottom of the table as the only team without multiple wins

But Bangladesh are moral wooden spooners, we all know that.

Umpires really should have checked with Bairstow for a ruling on the spirit before giving Mathews out.

Real chance for Starc to become my favourite cricketer ever this weekend if he finally follows through on a mankad attempt when Shakib is batting.

WA need to scrape to a draw somehow. A big ask I think.

Bringing back the old days when the SCG used to be a graveyard for them

jfc, umpires need to check the ball, make sure its not a hand grenade.

Wyllie might need some time in the magoos during the BBL season to get his confidence back.

Cartwright has also stunk since coming back from injury.

Christ, Philippe should be batting at 11.

 

[ioppolo]

Davies and Henriques bat on a different pitch today? FMD

 

[kane249]

I mean WA has been up for a long time, but this is still embarrassing this whole trip to NSW

Turner has been poor too.

Bancroft carrying the batting in the second innings. Running out of partners though although Stobo is probably our last batting partnership until Bancroft has to farm the strike with Rocchicciolli and Morris. Hopefully we can at least get A lead even though we will very likely lose this game (only rain can save us now).

Phillippe has some technical faults at FC level where the ball moves for longer and a pitch tends to be a bit more bowler friendly than in limited overs, a first class average of 28 even as a keeper is just not good enough nowadays. Cartwright hasn't found his groove yet and out of form after injury, Turner also not at his best. Wyllie lost his confidence and his technique maybe suspect although he needs time out of the BBL to improve on his technique and confidence for FC batting especially if he wants to play for Australia.

We are too overreliant on our openers and our middle order is simply out of form. Hardie is a huge loss as he would've stabilized our batting (guarantee we don't collapse from 2-85 to 7-92 if he plays) and gives us an extra bowling option.

Surely Bancroft has to be Warner's successor, question though "Is his technique improved enough for a second stint at international level?"

Feel Bancroft is in the too good for shield but not good enough at international level category personally

Embarrassing for him being so devastating in white ball cricket but completely poo with the red ball. Maxwell-esque.

The real question is, who else is there?

The next big things - Renshaw, Puckovski etc for various reasons, none of them have panned out.

so, the same category as everyone else looking for the gig once warner hangs up his OLED

East coast media was all over Marcus Harris, being on 59no for the Vics. Went on to 164 so expect the calls to grow louder

Henry Hunt from SA is the one I'm hoping continues to kick on

Shakib ruled out with a broken finger. Peotic justice
