Opinion NMFC Board Cricket Thread III

[Sillygit]

This partnership reaches 49. This is threatening to Australia.

it is, but it's still chasing our tenth wicket partnership

 

[KiwiRoo]

Ahh. So you guys have met I see.

 

[krakouers]

What's the highest 4th innings total at the ground? 311?

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

I seriously don't think NZ will be asked to follow on. But as they say in the classics, it might be a tricky 10 overs os so for Uzzy and Smith at the end of the this day session.

Obviously, I am the Nostradamus.

 

[Sillygit]

that was short lived

Smith is arguably a genius with a bat in his hand, but he has the most unlikely technique for a Test opening bat in some little time

 

[RHLK]

Steve Smith is undergoing a Virender Sehwag-like decline.

See above.

Hojuman has switched the wireless off and turned the Rank Arena with rabbit ears on.

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

Hmmmm. The night watchman is done.

 

[Sillygit]

lyon instantly outscoring smith and lab for the innings

 

[Flawed Genius]

Marn...

I turned the wireless off when we came into bat ! I promise.

I spent all day looking for 3LO on the wireless dial - no luck. Had to rely on updates from my son.

Get one of these

 

[Tiberius]

If the Test is still going on days four and 5 I will offer a full and unreserved retraction.

I don't like to quote myself, but I'm feeling fairly comfortable with my call at this stage.

Steve Smith is undergoing a Virender Sehwag-like decline.

It was only 3 innings ago he batted the whole innings for 91 not out and his 31 in the 1st innings was actually not too bad .

Vic 7/81 at stumps after Tas all out for 240.

 

[RHLK]

Agree, he's done well, but 3 years ago he would have dismissed that wicket ball with a lightsaber leave, eventually making the bowler bowl at his stumps, to his strength.

Like Sewhag, Smith's ridiculous hand/eye co-ordination can't go on forever.

 

[Marstermind]

It was only 3 innings ago he batted the whole innings for 91 not out and his 31 in the 1st innings was actually not too bad .

This board would be a ruthless selection panel. Smith, Labuschagne and Head are all getting dropped for no one in particular, although maybe Bancroft can cover all three. If Cameron Green fails in the second innings and doesn't do much in the Second Test, on these standards, he'll be banished to the Shield all next summer too.

 

[Heaps of fun]

For the record I'd just be dropping Marnus and his 2 to go with his 1 before my last post brings his summer average to 23.9.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Just saw the run out.
Hilarious.
