Neser just smashing through India A so far: 4/16 off 8

He’s a good seconds player

 

[Samsquanch]

Oh England, thinking of you during this sorry period...

 

[bengrina]

why are we playing some random one day series in the build up to the tests vs India? What happened to the tradition of that first morning of summer starting the 1st test at the Gabba?

 

[gokangas]

This Rauf bloke can bowl a bit.

 

[Samsquanch]

We could be lucky to make 135

 

[gokangas]

Thought Maxwell was due a score. But nope again.

 

[Sillygit]

wonder if even one of them will call it quits after this

 

[Samsquanch]

That was a pretty awful review by Rizwan.

 

[Samsquanch]

That WBBL promo was worse than the last review by Pakistan. Surely Foxtel can do better than that!

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Rahul has regressed so much.

 

[Merlin007]

Rahul has regressed so much.

A lot of the Indian batting in that category atm

 

[gokangas]

Cocky Aussies were talking up resting 3 or 4 players from the next game to get them rested before the tests. Might have second thoughts now.

 

[krakouers]

does no-one want to open in tests for Australia?

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Webster putting in solid performances.

 

[Samsquanch]

Just watched the cricket report on 9 News (as it is known).

Despite a specific report on the Au-A vs In-A they didn't bother with reporting the result.

A sports report with no mention of the outcome of a completed match they reported on.

They did make passing mention of North defeating the crow but it was a blink and you'd miss it update.

Looking forward to the Indian Aussie series. Looks like it will be a battle of the out of form top orders !
and will the aussies blood anyone under 30 ?.

Aussies under 30...








Do you mean the First innings total or combined?

The cricket is quite watchable until Mark Howard comes in to do commentary.

Yes, that annoying drone when a wicket falls or a boundary is hit, along with the over arse licking of former players. It certainly tests the nerves after a few hours of it. Isa Guha seems to have picked up on it which only amplifies the annoyance.

whats McSweeney like ? don't know much about him

 

[Merlin007]

whats McSweeney like ? don't know much about him

Form batter atm but doesn’t open so the opener spot a bit in the air; presumably between him and maybe head

He wouldn't take Heads place though would he ?

who gets to be keeper too ? Inglis or Carey ?

What KiwiRoo is asking, is that will any of our top order average over 30 outside of age?

The answer is no
