First test of the aussie summer

[CrazyJoeFevola]

Whites and baseball caps looks so village

Not a test can’t wear the proper maroon

 

[Voice of the G]

The second one yes

Handscomb’s technique is still awful.

Personally I thought Handscomb had improved it,have not seen the dismissal tonight but see he was stumped.

He’s still standing a foot behind the crease if that’s improved Meh, I hope we leave him in shield cricket. Not a fan of Harris but he batted well against a pretty lacklustre bowling though

Roach would normally take the new pill, clearly a shootout between Seales and Joseph. Perfect start by Joseph

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Just declare to bowl under lights

 

[CrazyJoeFevola]

Speed gun would be nice. Seales looking sharp. Hit 146-147 before

 

[CrazyJoeFevola]

Erratic too though

A good days cricket and a good fight back by WI.

Thoroughly enjoyed my shift aligning exactly with this game today. Looking forward to the same tomorrow. Bowling Alzarri!

I hope you're prepared for blokes watching the West Indies for the first time in 6 years to give their concrete assessments on every single player and how to fix West Indies cricket after walking past the tele and watching for 12 minutes in between beers.

And that's just in the commentary box.

It has begun.

37 degree for the the first day of the test next week...win the toss bat and bat

Yes please bat bat and bat for 2.5 days least make the test go 4 days

I'm heading to day three fully preparing for the match's conclusion that day.

I'm going the first two days

Windies bowled well against a strong batting line up. Interesting to see how their weak batting goes against a pretty good attack. Particularly interested to have a look at Chanderpaul JR.

Day nighters are seriously unbalanced nighttime all the wickets fall

 

[CrazyJoeFevola]

Good to have look at Murphy too. As I've stated he reminds me of a young Lyon. Similar attributes.

One per summer is fine just as something a big different and can liven up games on batting decks if new ball does a bit later.

Just realised West Indies are here for three tests next summer, too.

How?

How?

Future Tours Program

It's two tests - my bad - scheduled for January 2024.

I meant how is that possible?

Still think we should be trying to get 7 tests rather than 5 every summer.

Agree with seven tests.

As for how? The World Test Championship finishes in mid-2023, so those matches will be a part of the next WTC cycle.

He’s a limpet like his old man, needs to add some scoring areas as his crease time is fine, he could easily average 43-45 in FC cricket if he could turn the strike over a bit more

 

[PhatBoy]

Idiotic take. Beat England at home this year and performed pretty similar to how we do normally in their last series away to the Poms. Their test cricket has been improving over the past 4 or 5 years and they deserve a seat at the table still. I don’t engage much on this board but from reading your posts I know you’ve very much got the ‘baggy green blinkers’ on and wouldn’t know that

Perfectly summed up
