Have to say it was a nice 100 by Reddy

 

[Damien Sandow]

Reddy awesome

 

[Hatchy1992]

Well done Reddy. Happy for you.

 

[rickety]

Well batted young man

Remember how Smith started his career as an all rounder, batting at 8? This bloke will be batting in the top order within the next couple of years.

Yeah, good on him. He batted like an actual batter too. None of those ramp shots and crap like that.

 

[shinboner magic]

Pisses me off when we make over 400 and Cummins sets defensive fields - 3 slips should be a prerequisite till they get away.
Then we have Lyon that feels safer with a deep long on even if it’s a new batsman - **** off with that crap

 

[Junk yard]

Realistically, how many could retire from this team by the end of next years ashes?

Starc
Khawaja
Lyon
Smith
Hazelwood (? - if he keeps having injuries)
Boland?

The other thought is, who comes in to replace who? Spinner and opener could be an issue

95 wickets at 31 bowling offies at the WACA. Roland has to be the next spinner, Harry potter couldn’t turn garribaldi.

Smith will go as long as he is in form I reckon. But agreed generally, we're in for a big shift in the side.

We need a Hazelwood exit plan ASAP IMO.

Fergus O Neill looks a goer if he can add a yard. Jhye Richardson might finally get his shot.

He made 100 runs on a road. Settle down

He keeps dropping catches in the slips. How many this series? 4 or is 5 drop catches?

 

[Samsquanch]

So a quick wicket and 280 by tea then a 20 minute slog fest before the declaration?

 

[shinboner magic]

Lyon is a non factor this series.

Have the wickets not suited or is he done

 

[Sillygit]

Excellent jinx

Done. Put a fork in him

 

[Samsquanch]

I just turned on the telly. Got a wicket first ball.

 

[shinboner magic]

Done. Put a fork in him

I agree but there isn’t anyone really putting any pressure on him

 

[Samsquanch]

Courtney of Foxtel

Courtney of Foxtel

Give Courtney my best

 

[shinboner magic]

Uzzie is out of form - should of these balls his missing by a long way

 

[krakouers]

Well that was quick

 

[Samsquanch]

McSweeney, make sure you pack a bag ready for the Sydney test.

 

[gokangas]

Good ball - poor stroke.

 

[Samsquanch]

Well that was quick

Was bound to happen with all the hype from the media.

 

[gokangas]

McSweeney, make sure you pack a bag ready for the Sydney test.

Yeah, nah. Will get a second test, at least.
