That was plum you little toss bag

 

[Belnakor]

sam harper just ran past cam green at the change of overs.

looked like he was 12 running past him

Green is actually too tall for a top level test batsman i reckon

Is there a single groundsman in South Australia who knows how to prepare a pitch other than a road?

And the irony is there roads are s**t house might need to swap jobs

Get off the treadmill Mackin

 

[eth-dog]

Another draw coming up

As a WA supporter I’m worried about who will take over the reins from SMarsh during the test summer

No Shield during the test series I believe

SMarsh aint getting picked so no worries.

Tbf hes having a consistent Smarsh summer, out early or decent runs thereafter

 

[eth-dog]

If we get Marsh early it'll be really important. I'd start with Holland and Sutherland, save Boland for the new pill.

 

[eddiesmith]

Lol, I went out to get dinner and Marsh was in the 90s, I came back and Marsh was still only 94, I’m thinking damn he’s slow.

Then I’m browsing Facebook and it says 2 late wickets to Holland, then it dawned on me my Kayo had stopped when I left...

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Cartwright fails, predictably. Be good if he actually earned a game.

Recent AO wickets at Test level have actually been really good in fairness. I think I'm much happier with roads at Shield level than Test level.

Nek minute "Shaun Marsh banging the door down for test return" "selectors chase consistent runs with Marsh"

12 CM is a fair gap and Hayden was considered very tall for a batsman

Wait, that big? Far out

Until last year!

KP would have to be one of the few world class international batsmen.

I think I've seen Green listed as high as 202cm, which is the same as Brodie Grundy

Im only 178 and I can't even bend over haha

Don't need to at that height I wouldn't have thought

Haha i had concrete shoes just pure defence

 

[Carbine Chaos]

If anything I'd suggest Green's unusual height for a batsman would create a bit of havoc in bowlers' minds about which lengths they have to bowl. Especially when he's batting in a partnership with a shorter batsman.

Then you add in the large stride he can take which will assist against spinners and avoiding LBWs.

To say he can't be a Test class bat due to his height is a little silly IMO.

 

[11kgm]

He's the same height as Holder Greig Oram Moody
