Any crowd numbers been reported for this Test?

Looking that way, but not sure I remember any/many others being released from the squad to play BBL.

Morris and Boland were released pretty quickly from the Pakistan squad.

I honestly reckon it would have been a better spectacle if Australia played Australia A than the Windies

Shouldve played this in Perth and had Aus made up of WA players.

So it's looking like a concerted effort to make players available this season alone? Product must be struggling more than we know.

I'd say it's also a result of the weakened opposition, can't imagine we're doing this if it was an ashes.

 

[Keys]

West Indies No.11 with 2nd highest score of the innings with 25* off 24

Currrent 10th wicket partnership of 32

We have one of, if not the, best bowling quartets of all time but the tail can be their Achilles heal

I ****ing hate this saying and anyone who uses it is an absolute ****ing campaigner but...

Australia's fast bowling cartel and not being able to clean up the trail cheaply...name a more iconic duo

 

[Ochre]

How did they not have a plan for 1 off 1 sorted.

Soft tissue pre-season injuries and the West Coast Eagles

Tye said on the post game podcast they got this wrong and would have lost regardless. He realized as the ball was being bowled but it was too late.

Smith to get either a Duck or a Ton. I'm betting on the later.

What a great achievement for Joseph! Good on him.

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

That's awesome.

 

[Truckosaurus]

It's like Warner never retired

 

[Ochre]

Shamar Joseph looks like he could be fun too.

Can confirm

It was busier than I expected for a WI Test. I'd guess 25k. It's so hard to tell at AO for Tests due to the numbers permanently in bars or out the back of the members.

 

[Ochre]

Shamar Joseph going to have such an incredible career for the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders and the Paarl Royals.

 

[FKASC]

Can confirm

Came here to dig that up

 

[Truckosaurus]

Renegades v Thunder called off because of the weather or lack of interest?

 

[THE A5]

Expecting the Scorchers to put the late SOS call to Shaun Marsh late next season when our internationals leave.

Australia doesn't want to be shown up by Australia A . I can imagine Morris and boland running through the Aussie side .

I remember when they used to play Australia A and the Australian side selected Paul rifle as their 12th man cos they were shit scared to face him .

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Bloody great presser from the kid. Other sportspeople should take note - genuine, passionate and not at all robotic in his responses. Hope he has a long career.

 

[FKASC]

Looks like he could be fun too

 

[Carbine Chaos]

That's another good ball from him to get Green early, he's got a bit about him!
