Scottie might have a few bruises tonight.

 

[Mr Experience]

Khawaja reverting to his flat tracker reputation in this test.

 

[hawkman]

Boland to complete his century sometime tomorrow

 

[Joffaboy]

Out
Out

Out.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Boland does have a pretty solid technique for a number 10/11

 

[Marcel Proust]

I think Boland averages 75 at Tassie

With the ball sadly

Describe those wickets

out out and out

 

[Anzacpaul]

Bring back Harris

17 runs between Warner and Usman in this test

Harris is no better.

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Sam Billings has come a long way since his stint on ER.

 

[k31th]

Boland retaining the strike. haha

 

[Headless]

What's the longest a nightwatchman has had to last in a day? Seems like a pretty long stretch here for Boland.

 

[troybe]

Solid number 5 Scotty is

[The hands of stone]

N sure

I’m with you. It’s as if people don’t watch games, if they do they aren’t paying attention. They look at stats/figures and results and form opinions based off that only. Not even sure why they watch.

Who bowled better, Boland or Starc? It was Boland but the stats don’t tell you that.
It’s like when the better team doesn’t win, stuff happens sometimes.

Eg the argument Hawthorn was better than Geelong. You ask people why, it’s because they won 3 in a row lol.
People are basic.

Gee even on the cricket board Hawthorn are still in Geelongs head

 

[Jimthegreat]

Boland's done everything else this series. May as well make 100 as night watchman...haha.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

None of the batsmen will think that they got done by an unplayable ball. Three soft dismissals.

 

[ABAB]

Poor batting by Australia so far this dig

2 poor shots but the ball is doing so much they probably would have gotten unplayable like Khawaja got.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Boland retaining the strike. haha

Sticking it to Warnie by protecting the incoming batsmen and Smitthy.

3 maybe 4 overs - a stretch..?

 

[Kuuz]

Bring back Harris

17 runs between Warner and Usman in this test

Oh pfft.

Probably the hardest opening conditions I’ve seen this series. The ball is swinging and seaming around barn doors and the bounce is really inconsistent.

Would not want to be a batsmen out there.

Scotty B doing a great job so far shielding the batsmen.

 

[Joffaboy]

Khawaja should have stayed at 5, if he was to stay in the 11.

Why not Carey opening with Uzzie at 5 and Head st six.
Couldn't do much worse.

 

[Marcel Proust]

Boland retaining the strike. haha

Looks pretty good tbh

 

[11kgm]

Usman fails again when it's not a road

Correct. Khawaja got a good ball but didn't drop his gloves.

 

[ABAB]

Khawaja's was.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Harris is no better.

Least he saw off the new ball in the last 2 tests
