1st Test Border Gavaskar Trophy November 22-26 1350hrs @ Perth Stadium

[k31th]

sweet sounding straight drive

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

come on pat time for a wicket

even if we let them score 30 per partnership we’re ****ed

 

[danielnajdek]

Nice juicy half volley from Pat.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Our guys are looking like Ollie Robinson

 

[Run n Spread]

I wonder if I’d enjoy cricket more if I muted the commentary

Do it and just hang out and watch

 

[Plugger35]

still a long way to go in this series....but so far it doesn't look good

Coldplay Cummins....might haunt him for a while ..you don't give up playing for your country to go to a bloody rock concert

He is allowed to have a life outside of playing cricket and calling Coldplay a rock concert is bit much, they are soft rock at best.

If he'd gone to a proper rock concert like Midnight Oil people would be more forgiving, his biggest crime was going to see Coldplay

I’ll actually try it at least til drinks. But I wish I could still have the sound of bat and ball/the crowd.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Not exactly setting the world on fire with that bowling performance so far.

 

[Some Idiot]

Great let’s let him score until he gets bored and slogs out. If we spent 20-40 runs on each player to make a mistake or get bored we should be chasing about 350

Dot ball pressure worked pretty well for Mcgrath

I just am wondering how we improve here and everyone gave me the answer of sorry our bowlers just aren’t good enough they don’t have a gear to go up. I guess we just hope bumrah bowls too much and has to miss some tests. And our B graders are better than their C grade rest of the attack.

We’re flat at the moment, and a lot of that has to do with the morale drop from the two hours of carnage yesterday.

This is a top class attack, and they will bounce back. Bumrah won’t be as much of a handful on other decks, and things will even out.

On the batting side of things, I know most people here want to sack everyone but that would be entirely counterproductive. Perhaps Marnus could use some time in the shield to get his mojo back, but even then I don’t think chucking inexperienced kids into the lions den with Bumrah (and Shami later in the series) would be helpful at all.

Things will turn around, just need to be patient and stick by the lads.

 

[Run n Spread]

If it all goes to shit in our second innings

Drop Marnus for whoever came second in the bat off

Clearly out of form and should be dropped
But Australia has this weird selection policy that you're dropped and your out for life.
No need to cast him away but he's out of whack

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Dot ball pressure worked pretty well for Mcgrath

We’re currently looking at the 4th innings starting on day 2 which means you can bat as slow a strike rate as you want. Dot ball pressure won’t exist with this much time. It’s not like a 5 day match where you declare for extra time to bowl at them

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

It's pie chucking.

 

[Gough]

86 ahead.

Worse yet I don’t think we can sack everyone cause there’s no one better. Reminds me of my saints. “Drop ___” but the player that comes in is even worse

 

[Hamingja]

Perth crowd out in force

 

[danielnajdek]

This is test over. We wouldn't even chase 150.

 

[Run n Spread]

Benuad Greig lawry chapell fron the 90s were world class commentators
Gilchrist Warner guha and gaviskar keep and just rotate them rest are unlistenable. Maybe keep lane as straight man

 

[The 747]

Bowling attack is probably a bit flat because they had half a day's rest.

 

[Xtreme]

Not exactly setting the world on fire with that bowling performance so far.

Steve Smith better get the sandpaper

 

[Westend]

Bowling attack is probably a bit flat because they had half a day's rest.

Yup and our two main bowlers batted for the majority of the first sess....bit tired I reckon

 

[Westend]

Coldplay pat getting smashed

might need a rest

 

[danielnajdek]

Cummins has been pretty disappointing this test match.

 

[rdhopkins2]

India just demoralising the Aussie bowlers now.
Stand and deliver stuff!

 

[yabsy]

240 okay Luke

yeah I agree...but as I said before might be a good thing for our batting lineup to actually bat and make some runs in a chase and win

They did that in the last test in Christchurch
