Opinion Cricket thread

That reply has gone over my head, but if Lyon comes out in the 2nd innings and starts bowling wrong uns and toppies like all the finger spinners in the world then I might change my opinion.

That's right. Finger spinners worldwide have no variation. They are all vanilla.

All vanilla fingers spinners end up taking over 300 Test wickets too.

Only good news today is we will never see a Marsh again. Had his chance to be a star today. Under delivers as usual. One good innings doesnt make a series. Bye bye.

 

[SpiderBurton22]

That's right, how dare we expect the GOAT to dismiss above average batsmen? What an outrageous expectation!

You just keep setting the bar low for him, mav. Your superior cricket knowledge is on display for all to see.

Of his 5 wickets last innings, how many were above aveage batsmen?

 

[Hojuman]

Comes home, checks score. 3/ 80 sumfin.
Not bad.
Quick shower , checks score 5 / 92.

Your fault. If you don't move from the TV we won't lose a wicket.

F. me. I turn to 360 and we lose two wickets.

The way the ball was behaving before tea, any lead of more that 160 to 180 will be hard to get. Best for Maxy and Matty to play their natural games and see what sort of a lead they can get.

Yep - Maxwell is the key now.

In the end the aussies batting has let us down all series. Just haven't been able to get any consistency. The bowlers have done their jobs.

Smith is obviously the exception, he is a freak.
Remshaw started well but faded.
Warner disappointing. Shown that if isn't able to score quickly he didn't haven't the temperament to battle it out.
Hanscomb, one 70, looked good when he batted and was consistent but couldnt get past 25.
Marsh had 2 good innings over 50 but little else.
Mitch Marsh was a waste of time.
Maxwell should have played from the 1st Test

He took 5 for, you doofus.

Na, my fault. Come home sit down at start of our innings, bang 3 for. Wifey comes home and we go for our walk, come back still 3 for. Sit down, bang we're 5 for.
I'm now cooking dinner, by myself, away from the tv!!

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Six down. Honestly.

Can't understand why Khawaja has not been given a chance. i know he struggled on the previous tour, but has a test batting average of over 47. Surely should have been given at least 1 test.

Who would you have dropped? And before you say Marsh, he topped scored a couple of times so would have been hard to drop him.

Probably because the batsman that took his place made half centuries in the last 2 Tests, the other option was he could have come into the side for Mitch Marsh instead of Maxwell.

Wade needs to find away to score.

ite my fault as well, go out to the garage to do a few things at 3 for, , come back in and its 6 for :-(

 

[ApplecrossWC]

Should have dropped Warner for Khawaja, he's been garbage

 

[Hojuman]

Bugger that ! He can get 47 off 300 balls for all l care !

One way of looking at it. Victorian players doing better than their New South Wales counterparts ( + the Shield )
Sorta draw - win.
