Unlucky for Travis Head

 

[Dazzler9]

d'oh!

 

[Dazzler9]

Yep, Green and Head should swap places in the order.

Greeny wouldn't have done that

 

[Ochre]

So almost certain Green still won't have batted in Perth after this test

 

[Biggie]

Ahh feel for Head there

 

[ioppolo]

Hopefully young Chanderpaul is there at stumps, I want to watch him tomorrow

Even if he's not it's still probably a good chance.

Run a ball? Probably not.

Assuming all else is similar and Greeny batted with a SR of 50, at the end of this test I don't think 50 first innings runs will have been the catalyst for a result.

However in future tests when you're against a better opposition Head's high SR tendency may not be suited to many occasions and you might want a steadier hand to continue the innings.

Unfortunately I doubt we'll enforce any follow on, I actually hope we're not batting tomorrow as I don't want to sit there watching Marnus and Smith score at 5rpo for fun.

Chop on on 99 I meant. Jokingly.

In that case... Warnie would have.

[Ochre]

Don't think we're getting a third generation of Chanderpauls sadly

 

[DanWCE]

WA producing a road?

Gotta get those weekend crowds

 

[DanWCE]

Gotta get those weekend crowds

Ahhh so that's why Melbourne produces their boring Boxing Day Test wickets

 

[Doashuey]

Reckon Windies will still be out for about 250 tomorrow. Great gutsy effort from Chanderpaul and Braithwaite but they've had some luck which will likely run out and don't think there is much batting once we get through this pair.

 

[DanWCE]

Pretty nice of Optus to prep a deck that will guarantee I get to watch the Goat rip through the Windies on day 5 whilst hungover on the couch

England 506/4


After Day 1.......



Yes they scored 506 runs in a day of test cricket. And only faced 75 overs.

Clearly need to give all the Aussie team gastro the day before the next test.

 

[Truckosaurus]

England players got the runs in more ways than one

Pleasing to see Joe Root not amongst the run fest

It’s a bit like Warner missing out yesterday whilst everyone else cashed in

506 runs in a day is insane. Only three sixes was a surprise given they’re going at nearly 7 an over

 

[Dazzler9]

It was on the pitch that was rated below average when the Aussies played there earlier in the year. I think only 14 wickets fell for the entire Test.

Jermaine Blackwood is one who could smash 70-100 without fuss, or go for 10 in trying to do so.
Bonner is someone who could make 30 off 200 balls.
But yeah, thin otherwise.
