[Nuggetz]

BRING BACK DAVID WARNER

 

[chickenonachain]

This could be the best thing to happen to Australian cricket maybe wake them up that we are shit get rid of the dead wood including coaches and start again

 

[Nuggetz]

WARNER FOREVER MCSWEENEY NEVER

 

[Art Vandelay_]

LukeParkerno1 IN THE MUD.
McSweeney the best choice... PFFFFFT!

Not an opener's arseh*le. As evidenced by not a single innings there at Shield level.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

It's a crazy concept isn't it.

Yep not hard either

 

[foxdog50]

It's either taking a risk v unproven or backing failed duds

Well i think it's... All the above,

 

[Cleavy]

straw poll everyone: how many runs will Australia make in the 2nd innings?

 

[celestial]

Khawaja deserves a duck for the gutless decision to not face the opening delivery

 

[Nuggetz]

Hahahahahahahaha

 

[benbrown]

Playing back is going to be a death sentence here

 

[Marshland]

McSweeney hasn't got it. Get him out of the firing line and bring in Konstas who is an opener in the first place!

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Good leadership imo, leading from the front.

First thing I can give him credit for this match. And I’m a big fan normally

 

[Jimthegreat]

No.

Of course he will. Might be no.3 next time though. Drop Marnus and pick another opener and McSweeney at 3.

 

[Shifty1]

I'm no McSweeney fan but that did keep low. Pitched nearly half way down the wicket.

 

[Cleavy]

Is mark Waugh still a selector and does he have another love child he wants in the team?

thankfully Henriques is injured

He is the best choice, Harris isn’t the answer as we saw today in the shield

 

[Magma]

at least cricket australia have their scapegoat now

 

[Westend]

having a poor australia...is not good for world cricket

regardless of what the shlills of india and fanboy want ..overall australia poor means test cricket is

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Howie in love with Cummins for making himself nightwatchman.

Absolute Fluffer.

 

[hoopla]

The road is not a road now. That ball bounced around half the expected height

 

[Kuuz]

again, this whole opener situation should've been sorted ages ago. but warner needed a farewell tour

This. All the dicking about last summer and giving players a farewell tour, is now coming home to roost.

If you want to stay at the top, you need to be ruthless in all things, especially team selection.

Feel sorry for McSweeney. He or another should have been eased in 12 months ago against softer oppo. Instead gets this.

 

[ams4crows]

Never seen a more plumb lbw than that, did he not practise in the nets at all exactly the same as 1st innings dismissal

 

[dumb]

kind of why i preferred someone like harris. he's either sacrificed at the altar, or he makes something of it until someone better comes along.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

straw poll everyone: how many runs will Australia make in the 2nd innings?

189.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Fed Mcsweeney to the lions instead of making your debut against say West Indies you face Bumrah and 530 behind...
