No I didn't.

Scroll up and see what Themanbun quoted.

I'd take Green at no.6 here just because I'm averse to playing two spinners in Aus.

 

[ChoppyGun]

What??

Australia would kill for a number 6 who averages 35 with the bat and has 200 wickets at 24 with the ball!!!!

Oh sorry. Tests in India don't count.....

I think Green is a real talent. A gun in fact.

Jadaja is a great one day player and in India hard to beat sure

I know it reads that way.

What has Agarwal done here to suggest he is so fantastic?

Of course he's better than Burns. Pretty much everyone is.

No, not really tbh.

 

[Themanbun]

I think India are an absolute quality side. They've bowled us out cheaply and under 200 in 2/3 innings so far and that's with Smith in the side, and with them having to play Yadav who is pretty ordinary, and now without Shami who is an excellent bowler.

They had one horrendous collapse but will take it up to us here and should be a good contest. I don't think they deserve to be $5.50 underdogs.

Yes, they should.

This Olly Davies can bat.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Cummins will get a few tomorrow and India out by 160.

Calling it now.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Hojuman what can we bet on.

India will not pass Australia in first innings.

Happy to have an Avatar swap for a week?

The Renegades are the worst T20 I've ever seen.

Scorchers: Hold my Beer

Wooden spoon last year finishing three wins adrift of second last, and although they have beaten the Scorchers this year, have a NRR of -3.5 after 4 games. They're utterly awful.

 

[Mr_Nyah]

I’ve never heard more truly awful takes in a 15 minute commentary slot than what Brad Hodge is currently spewing out. Mind boggling that he has a job.

 

[nicko74]

Wade is a number 6 bat.

He is not a test cricketer

 

[nicko74]

Burns is an absolute crustacean

Big storm coming thru Melb. around lunchtime make things interesting. Would want to take 2 or 3 early wickets and get into the long tail.

Wild winds of up to 100k/h expected to hit Melbourne, bureau warns

Victorians are being warned to brace for damaging winds and thunderstorms, which could make for dangerous bushfire conditions in some parts of the state.

It's been a weird summer.

He feathered that.

A world class keeper should not drop that.

 

[big_e]

A world class keeper should not drop that.

Unfortunately there are not too many world class keepers around anymore. At least half of the test keepers in the world are picked for their batting rather than keeping.

The ball pitched on off stump, so Paine should not have had all his weight committed so far towards 1st slip.

His starting position should be another 30cms to his right.

 

[Themanbun]

Sometimes that extra 10 runs on the batting average is not worth the potential dropped catches to blokes who can go on to make big scores. Having said that I'm not sure we have many better glove men then Paine in Australia.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Again!

He's very poor on his left hand.
