Yes, he’s going “ok”. He’s a bloke who has got absolutely everything out of himself, and then some. So he deserves great admiration for that. However he is very limited compared to the other top 10 players. He’s a retriever, and just doesn’t have the ability to crank it up a gear, because he is...
Could probably say the same about Alex. It’s a testament to his single minded determination, professionalism and work rate that he’s risen to top 10 in the world. But honestly he’s got a pretty meh game, without any real weapons, apart from his speed around the court.
And yet, despite your polite request when you first started this thread in July 2023, here we are 18 months later with Tiger posters still trying to make it all about Dusty and Richmond. Another thread they’ve hijacked.
Tigers obviously tanking by booting their best player out for 4 matches. Had very winnable games against Carlton, Port, Saints and Freo. Not so much now.
From memory I think he got 3 centuries in that series? He did bat well. Arrogant S.O.B though. Apple didn’t fall far from the tree with son Stuart.

Probably worried he’d take the opportunity to rain on the Australian’s parade, by saying we got the best of the umpiring and also doctored the Sydney pitch. 🤣🤣
Would have expected better from you kickazz. A very unfair and untrue generalisation. Not all of us so called “fossils” have got an axe to grind with Cummins or his team.
Wonder if they’ll open with Starc, or go straight to Boland and Cummins. Certainly can’t risk 3-4 overs of the absolute garbage Starc dished up yesterday. Would just about be game over.
On the other hand Starc does have the ability to produce a couple of unplayable wicket taking balls...
The way the ball is jagging around and bouncing is going to make any chase very difficult. It’s not as if our batsmen are technically equipped to graft it out on such a pitch either.
It may be best to adopt the Pant approach and attack the bowling as best they can. Otherwise, sooner or later...
