Cricket Thread: Aus vs Bangladesh test series... just 4 months away

[Mostyn]

So... Australia have named Neser at #8, ahead of Starc at #9. Given how well Starc has batted this series, and how poorly Green has batted, should Green be batting at #9?

Christ, isn't there a post about Darcy Fogarty you could be making instead?

You quadruple down on your worst opinions, it's blatant trolling.

Poms well on top with 3 wickets in the 1st host... but we have seen this before. Can they press it home this time.

Probably just as well we have a deep batting order.

I'm not confident in Weatherald ultimately having enough talent to be an Australian opener long-term.

And I don't think this test will go that far into its third day. A great toss to win for the Poms.

The longer grass on this wicket isn't conducive to a long test.

Well that's unfortunate... David Warner is back in the commentary booth for the Boxing Day Test. I thought he was out for the duration of the BBL. Unfortunately for the viewers' ears (and intelligence), it seems this is not the case.l

The Thunder don't have a game until Sunday.

Which itself is a Stars home game, but in Canberra. So it could have been worse

Wait until he hears about the WOAT Mitchell Marsh playing for the crows.

Smith out.

Do we consistently lose the toss?

Only when Steve is in charge this series

We have a bad recent record in dead rubbers.

Adelaide Test still a chance to have a higher overall Test crowd than Melbourne...

I agree, he has always been a great player to watch when he is on but I feel like he has too many issues in his game that teams can exploit.

Probably lucky to get a 4th test

Dreadful shot by Carey

Don't think he realised there was a field change.

Green should have pointed it out to him as had a good view.

If Carey didnt see the fielder thats not on Green

It isn't anyone else's responsibility to tell you to have game sense. A field change isn't something small, you have to be completely asleep to not notice. Just a bad error, during a fantastic season

 

[Cromulant]

Didn't need that either.

Green looked as good as he had all series.

 

[rocket18]

I like how Green ran out wide - away from the pitch to allow the throw at the stumps.

Very thoughtful.

 

[Mostyn]

He actually has looked okay a few times with the bat, but has invented crazy ways to get himself out.

 

[GreyCrow]

Now to see how England handle the pitch

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

A good cricketing partner points things out that the other may not see.

But yes, Carey is ultimately responsible for his dismissal.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Hopefully someone told Starc he was out to a no ball & fires up.

 

[GreyCrow]

Any changes behind the wicket is on the non-striker to point out - if you think the striker hasn't noticed

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Will continue to say Green's main problem is the mental side of his game.
