No, that misses the mark. The thing with the last 7 games is Thilthorpe was dangerous everywhere, which is why he was pulling a CD rating close to what Jeremy Cameron pulled. After all, look to Geelong, Dogs and Sydney. It's not only multiple goals, but also 9-10 score involvements, 1+ GA and...

Nah, Thilthorpe has typically been freakish on the endurance side.

Yup. Raw, but looks pretty ok at the moment - and the game seems to be moving towards having one guy who can score quickly in the opener positions.

Hazlewood has already earned that spot, and as we saw against England, you can make Boland ineffective. You can't do that with Josh. Heck, he was Bumrah like this year with a 13.3 ave/32 SR before he broke down again. Every top tier unit is going to have someone who is unlucky, but a decently...

Just needs a century and he'll start plundering again.

Never in doubt

The other - and more likely* - argument is this indicates that we're using fitness (and by that, momentum) to try to counteract a lack of star-power in the team. Which also is supported by the fact we're getting within two goals frequently but not quite able to climb over that hump (though, we...

Bumrah, however, is the player you poke. After all, as a bat, you have nothing to lose with the form he's in and everything to gain. The two bats who had any success so far is Head and Konstas and both have gone after Bumrah. I think the kid has summed it up.well

It's the first rule of captaincy, always bat first. Unless you're a mad lad. Captains don't cop a lot of heat for batting sides getting rolled cheaply. They do when they bowl and the opposition bats score heavily.

Jadeja had to go for that review, but was plumb.

I'm shocked to be sitting here.

Joel Wilson is really unwilling to tempt the wrath of BCCI here.

That was ridiculous from Smith.

Rahul honoring his former captain with that dismissal.

Preset plans, sure. Though, that's more refining the edges. The vast majority of it is getting your own house in order structurally. Game day moves are a very overrated aspect of the game (especially by supporters who yearn for nostalgia), and borderline non-existent outside of preset...

Eh, it's not a throw the baby out of the bathwater kind of deal. Just speed up that ball movement off the half back line + use Dawson defensively (either mid/hbf, the key is to avoid long stints away from where scoring chains start) and things should clean up rather quickly.

I don't know if it reads like that, seeing they spent a lot of time trying to justify every wrong call they got and to find silver linings.

Considering that was after Pant and Jadeja got out, it's not the game changing moment, but it probably did help in making Jaiswal panic.

Had to be Cummins, all but willed us to victory in that considering his innings with the bat and ball.

Who needs the new ball?

I'm happy for Mitch Marsh to play until he's 100 if it means we win every game.

Almost a carbon copy of the third innings, set batsmen, one completely gets it wrong and it triggers an implosion.

Eh, wasn't his day for a big one. Still got one of the form bats in his overs though.

The cricket gods are really determined to make my "It's a bad idea to bowl Boland here" call from earlier look as foolish as possible.

Looked out.

Excellent work from the third umpire there to disregard snicko.

The cumdog is not humoring Wilson here.

**** me, how many balls does Jaiswal want to miss.

No need, the Goat knows when to graze.

The goat.
