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

[Crankyhawk]

Getting pumped. We need urgent changes for Adelaide.

Out: Hazelwood, Labs, Khawaja
In: Boland, Goodwin, Konstas

Marsh hurt as well

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Lets see how much we waste the new ball....

We’ll warm up about 15 overs in

 

[Marshland]

When does Green return?

 

[eddiesmith]

Who would’ve expected the bowlers to be short of a gallop, after putting themselves in cotton wool (read: play golf and attend Coldplay) instead of getting shield or ODI overs under their belt.

The fitness team will give themselves a pat on the back and say they made the right choice resting them after Neser broke down!

 

[Jamurp]

Our attack looks old as shit in 2nd innings like this.

 

[eddiesmith]

When does Green return?

Next summer

 

[Around the Wicket]

TBH this is very deserved for a team who believe they are one of the greatest of recent times having never beaten India, England, Sri Lanka away etc, who think retaining/drawing the Ashes is winning the Ashes etc etc.

100%, I think there only two away wins have been Pakistan 1-0 and NZ 2-0 the whole time the bulk of these players have been together.

 

[Plugger35]

Even Padikkal is hitting boundaries off Starc.

 

[Westend]

Yeah the team is broken

Really poor performance by the Aussies

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Few more overs for Starc to bring up a well deserved ton of rubbish

 

[Around the Wicket]

Our attack looks old as shit in 2nd innings like this.

We usually see this toward the end of the series not first test, they struggle when they get tired.

 

[dumb]

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Padikkal 20 has already done his job. If the rest of their batsmen do similar we’re still going to be down so much. In the back of their minds the bowlers have to be thinking “every wicket needs to be less than 10 runs”

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Another terrible session for Australia. Absolutely listless bowling line up with no answers.

 

[Westend]

Oh well Jyhe and Morris are back bowling that’s a positive I guess

 

[Plugger35]

The outfield still slow, that looked like another boundary for Padikkal but slowed up once it hit the outfield.

 

[Marshland]

Few more overs for Starc to bring up a well deserved ton of rubbish

At least he's taken a wicket unlike the other two chumps.

 

[Linda Lovelace]

At least he's taken a wicket unlike the other two chumps.

If we can get Starcy to take wickets at this rate, we'll restrict them to only 810. Bowling beautifully.

 

[southern_crusher]

This is what cricket Australia deserve.

 

[Westend]

At least he's taken a wicket unlike the other two chumps.

Hazelwood has bowled well tried hard

Cummins just average been really poor

 

[Around the Wicket]

Australia should bat better 2nd innings, the pitch has lost its life.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Smith averages 30 in the 4th innings. Do we think in the twilight of his career he can score his first 4th innings century and go big?

 

[charcoalchicken]

Marnus, smith and head all gotta go imo

Time to actually make some changes to this team

 

[Lunchtime]

Few more overs for Starc to bring up a well deserved ton of rubbish

Surely you're not surprised??....

 

[PhatBoy]

Got my info from an ill informed New Corp scribe, apparently he/she must have missed Bisons returns against Pakistan.

Things you can take as a given:


Almost ANY article written by a news corp/ Fox cricket writer is a glorified representation of the guy at the pub who heard from another guy at another pub what a guy said about a player in shield cricket etc etc and you can 100 per cent guarantee they’re not fact checked and that any info about overseas players is at best based on what they’ve done against England or MAYBE India and at worst non existent.

Even the experienced ones who used to be good like Crash Craddock don’t know shit about anyone who isn’t Australian anymore
