I mean shoot, even the second XI is handy. Dare say the below side beats the Renegades last night also.

I think Short was born in NT, but could easily slot into that second XI also.

Rocchiccioli did alright in a couple of BBL games last year IIRC.

This is the perfect Test wicket. Well done MCG.

Rewarding positive strokeplay but heaps in it for the bowlers.

Well done to the curator and whichever state he came from.

 

[Keys]

Australia under genuine pressure in this test now. Already 2 down and the overall lead just 60

So good

Uzzie got a jaffa but Marnus didn't need to play a shot, could have just let it slide down leg.

This game is beautifully poised.

I guess you have to take the good with the bad with his approach.

But Head's batting this Test was very, very poor. Adapt a little?

That was a decent ball to get first up to be fair

Pakistan on top in this test

Not a whole lot you can do about that one. It was a beauty.

All the more reason to be more circumspect.

That's the difference between Head and Marsh this series so far. Marsh's aggression has been controlled and he picks his deliveries. Head seems to be premeditating too much.

As soon as Mitch did that in the first dig he was dismissed.

Carn. It was a good inswinger, but a Test batsmen shouldn't play their first delivery like a drunk ten year old.

That's a harsh take. Credit to Pakistan

If the good is player of the series in the last home Ashes, and player of the match in the WTC Final and WC semi and final, I can take a little bad with it.

For sure, they've been really good this Test.

Doesn't change the fact Head's shot first ball was reckless.

Best head could have done was close the gate between bat and pad but still would have been plumb LBW .
Jaffa

 

[Get_The_Gaff]

Genuine swing bowlers wicket and we have 3 tall seamers .

Boland would be loving these conditions

Marsh was getting good swing so it would be nice to see him used early next innings

Head hasn't got a great defensive technique, but that ball gets most left handers out TBF.

 

[ioppolo]

Now's a good a time as any for Smith to get some runs and form behind him.

 

[Farang83150]

Wow...

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Hasan has been crazily unlucky this Test. Could have tripled his wickets tally at least with how well he's bowled.

 

[THE A5]

He was dropped at the start of a World Cup, we don't have a test that important for 12 months.

Im not disagreeing with you.

 

[THE A5]

Man tye Pakistani catching has been terrible

 

[Keys]

Lucky let off for Marsh

Arguably been the difference in the series so far
