[Sillygit]

Ahhh midnight test cricket, how i used to love thee so.

 

[Sillygit]

f*ck sake Konstas...

 

[Sillygit]

holy shit, should be 3 down already

 

[Sillygit]

Aaaaand now we are, 3/22

 

[Works atErrol St]

Head & Usie look like they’re on the offensive

This isn’t great to wake up to.

 

[TruRoo]

We will very likely annihilate their batsmen too, but still we’ve got an awful lot of question marks.

180 , TLDR

Somesquash ?

Iffy deck by modern standards but not great batting overall.

Still well in the game

Have to be one of the worst batting line ups I’ve seen Australia put out since “Lambs to the slaughter” days. I enjoyed Konstas’s 60 but he’s done nothing since and , let’s face it, could have been out half a dozen times in Bumrah’s first two overs. Green isn’t a number three as they have to be able to handle the moving ball. Anyway see how they go in the second.

 

[TruRoo]

We probably finish the day on top here by virtue of the windies having no batsmen. But our bats aren’t much better at the moment

 

[Sillygit]

Credit due to WI too, they were bowling very well

Yep.

Konstas and Webster both have technical flaws that will get found out by quality bowling. Both play away from their body and are susceptible to balls coming back at them.

Green's hands are too hard for a number 3 and the moving ball and not convinced Inglis is a red ball playet even though he was good in his 1st Test in Sri Lanka.

Do you think it's worth trying Hazelwood as an opener or perhaps at number 3 seeing how he seems to be capable of producing more runs than either Konstas or Green at the moment?

Bout time Cummins promoted himself up the order like a 4th XI skipper sick of the shit his teammates dish up

[TruRoo]

Rescued by the third ump there even though it was given not out

 

[Sillygit]

Feels like a repeat of the final

 

[Chip Scab1]

Feels like a repeat of the final

We eek out another 120, we'll win by 50. Nothing to see here.

Surely we have a young kid who values their wicket some, anyone??

 

[KiwiRoo]

What's happened to your batting ?? Its fallen off a cliff
you guys used to be able to russle up someone from the Sheffield shield who'd then average 40 plus in test cricket

Greens got lots of talent, Head is pretty good. But not much else

We hide the Shield away now like some dirty secret. You'll have teams with third string bowling attacks. That's how you end up with sausages like Konstas on the test team.

Where do blokes go to find form now? Big Bash?

Then you have blokes like Green in the side batting at 3? WTF is that? Is he on some sort of promise from selectors? If Webster has the 6 spot, Green sits out. Too bad.

I thought it was fantastic how Konstas and green settled in and improved on their first innings efforts. Konstas a 40% improvement and Green 500%
