Remember watching this performance on TV....unbelievable

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Ah! The AGEAS Bowl.

 

[Jatz]

Why does retiring mean he won't play for Vic again?

Great player in his prime, had been horribly out of form for the last couple of years.

His eyes have gone.

 

[Jatz]

His eyes have gone.

Assumed it was reflex speed but that also makes sense.

He often looked like he was late on shots.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Not even trying to hide the doctoring. Big dick energy

 

[Magma]

should cover it half in concrete and bring out the taped tennis ball too.

 

[RPCB]

Like I am 5 years old, what are they trying to achieve with that?

australia have quite a few left hand batters, and that area is where india's spinners would be landing the ball

It makes sense to me now. Thanks mate.

 

[Bradesmaen]

That is odd because in India's last test they used one left arm orthodox spinners who would be landing it on off not leg.

 

[chef]

Poor start for us.

Nice to see a local boy in Murphy in the team.

 

[Jatz]

How they've dropped Head for Murphy is ******* laughable.

Did Handscombe replace Head?

 

[Bradesmaen]

Head dropped for poor overseas form. Warner gets a pass how? Oh and what a surprise the ******* w***er is out for 1.

 

[glenferry23]

You’d usually want to be batting first in India, this pitch in particular seems like a good toss to win.

Hard to know what a good score is though until both teams have batted. There’s runs to be had here like Carey showed in playing his shots. India’s spinners are unrelenting though.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

How they've dropped Head for Murphy is ******* laughable.

Well they haven’t done that at all

Play with one of his best mates.
Short training session tonight and lots of beers watching the game.

How they've dropped Head for Murphy is ******* laughable.

Odd take.

Handscomb for Green and Renshaw for Head.

Murphy is taking a seamers place and has bowled well. Just like he did last year in SL for Aus A.

 

[glenferry23]

It looks like a 280-300 run pitch. And India bat deep as well. This one could get ugly.

I don’t mind Renshaw, thought he did well there in the 2017 series as an opener. Theres a case to be made to have him replace Warner at the top and Head back into the middle order during the series.

 

[Jatz]

All credit to him, I hope he plays well. I just miss when you actually had to earn a spot in the test side, not just have played 10 FC games.

Renshaw needs to open for Warner who is desperately cooked. Head back in for Handscomb.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Head back in for Handscomb.

lol what.?

One of the very few who looked like he could play spin.

 

[Jatz]

Head > Handscomb.

As I said, drop Warner, move Renshaw up. Who else are you dropping to get Head back in the side?

 

[eth-dog]

Nobody. So Head misses out.
