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

[Plugger35]

Carey has already outscored Marnus.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Poor ICC pitch report coming up?
Who would want to be a first or at a cricket ground?

The pitch is fine.

This is a case of elite fast bowling and gormless batting from both sides.

We all saw how poor India were vs NZ, but our issues were evident going as far back as the Pakistan series.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Ok, Starc literally pushed the ball into the ground with hand above whereas the only way today's catch touched grass would have been through the fingers which was discussed during that ashes series.

 

[Borisdog]

I remember them.

On SM-S918B using BigFooty.com mobile app

I’ve still got a pair. They’re retired and not very well, but they live on.

 

[western royboy]

Something has to change with this batting line up. Like it did after that 2016 Test disaster against SA.

Who are you contemplating bringing in?

Cos we’ve got

 

[Portmagpies36]

You're not as good as NZ at the moment.

Williamson, Southee and Ravindra are all better than your lot.

You missed the series earlier this year?

 

[Magma]

lab has piled on the runs since bumrah's last spell

 

[Plugger35]

Here comes Bumrah again.

You have to roll the dice on some younger blokes.

Some of these guys have one foot in the grave its diabolically bad.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Hard to pick between Cummins, Bumrah and Rabada

 

[TY24]

England didn’t save test cricket for Marnus to have a strike rate of 4.65

 

[Manbearpig77]

You're not as good as NZ at the moment.

Williamson, Southee and Ravindra are all better than your lot.

You miss the recent series where we beat them at home?

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Well that’s certainly an odd take after our recent Test series against them

Nah, we're fighting, we're the ones saving test cricket right now.

 

[Gethelred]

If Labuschagne can get to stumps, it doesn't matter how crap he's looked. Make them bowl with a 40 over old ball on this deck against fresh players, see how much of tomorrow you can chew up before you have to bowl again.

 

[hawkman]

Based on all forms of cricket in Oz since the start of October, Carey is the in form batsmen in the Oz side.

Well he is the one that hasn't missed a game. Don't think that is a coincidence

 

[ams4crows]

Kohli is captaining he's the one setting the fields

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

This. His action doesn’t get examined enough & for mine he chucks it.

He's different to chuckers in that his arm actually bends backwards at the elbow. His arm angle is greater than 180 degrees

Like Shoaib Akhtar.

Gives him an extra natural advantage.

I reckon a turtle would outscore marnus

About 20 minutes unless someone spikes Bumrah's weetbix.

I think you can work out from some of our selections in recent times that we just don’t have anything to fall back on.

Smith to opener was an admission that we had nothing. In days gone by that would never have happened.

 

[Marshland]

Well that’s certainly an odd take after our recent Test series against them

You missed the series earlier this year?

You miss the recent series where we beat them at home?

Last year ! = "at the moment"

 

[Gethelred]

Hard to pick between Cummins, Bumrah and Rabada

Not really.

Bumrah for sheer quality. Cummins for durability. Rabada falls inbetween. Both Bumrah and Rabada take bags where Cummins has to fight with Hazlewood, Starc and Lyon, and it prevents him getting the bags the other two get.

 

[Plugger35]

Full leather.

I was more a Hurricane guy.

I went against the grain with a pair of Puma Paris shoes, the Puma equivalent of Adidas Romes.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Very noice Alex.
