Opinion NMFC Board Cricket Thread III

When will Cam Green bowl?

Oh. That's right, his contract contains a clause whete he bowls a maximum of 5 overs per innings.

He is a good gully fieldsman. That is it.

He makes Watto look like Jacques Kallis.

Has dropped a couple this series

Ok - was.

Nah, he has a great pair of hands but the rest of his game is sorely lacking imo.

Needs to go away and play some first class cricket. Unfortunately the IPL payday will restrict that.

 

[Masked Avenger]

It's a farce. Who cares? There has never been a completed Test worse than this one.

i'm more interested in what the fallout is from this off the field. 90,000 people invested in going to see a day of Test cricket only for it to be stripped from them by gross organisational incompetence.

Getting your money back isn't adequate compensation for the inconvenience caused to fans, broadcasters and businesses.

To be fair, pitch is terrible, but some of the dismissals have been woeful.

Players have to take their share of responsibility.

Lol boland again

 

[koshari]

they still gonna win but sheesh talk about impatient clowns...

We are a decade away from this being the average test match, im afraid, and that'll be on a flat deck.

Ramp shots, reverse sweeps, in/out fields after 5 overs, fly slip will be considered as essential as the wicket keeper lol

They were trying with tests becoming 4 dayers - try 3

 

[hellas_johnny]

Does khawaja come out prior to the Sydney game and announce his retirement or does he keep carrying on selfishly

 

[gokangas]

Flights to Noosa booked for tomorrow.

 

[archereleven]

What are the chances of Sydney being an absolute road after Perth and Melbourne?

 

[archereleven]

Look the **** out... Greeny is warming up the bowling arm

 

[hellas_johnny]

Hahaha root can't even be there for the winning runs.

 

[Samsquanch]

England are actually going to pinch one.
Unbelievable

5468 days between drinks for them in Australia apparently.

And it took the greenest wicket in a decade to do it, and only just against our second xi.

Is that not been what the two teams have been doing all tour?

Bet he won’t but hopefully he gets the tap on the shoulder

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

At least we know the causes for this loss.

Play another test match and we still won't make it to day 5.

A throwback to the old 6 test series

Why should money even be put up these guys are supposed to be out there for 5 days anyways

Second XI... That's high praise for Greens, Labachaches and Wetheralds.

 

[Merlin007]

At least we know the causes for this loss.

Our batting never warranted 3-0; too many holes. Bowling and fielding were the difference

 

[Marstermind]

Off to the Autopsy thread?

Weatherald's technique isn't Test standard, strongly doubt he's the opening answer.
Labuschagne's form in the last three years is hopeless and shouldn't be playing
Khawaja gets a long overdue farewell match next week
Green needs a couple of years developing his game in Shield cricket...he sux
Neser is an honest trundler who'll have some good days on helpful decks but that's it
Richardson is promising at best

I doubt there will be many changes for Sydney. Murphy should play on a better deck and I suspect Richardson will go out. It'll be a travesty if Webster misses for Green again. Neser might get moved out for Doggett.

All in all - a terrible performance, on a terrible pitch in a terrible match. For me, only Boland and maybe Head get more than a bare pass. The rest should be really disappointed in their performance.
