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

[Xtreme]

Scott has time to go to the next Coldplay concert now

 

[foxdog50]

They are young, have to usher your Konstas types in and if they do fail it’s okay

I agree... But we don't do that anymore. Besides Green, tell me how many others we have done that in the last 5 years or so?

 

[NSWCROW]

****en clown car

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Day 4 and guess what, looks like Cummins has some free time!

He’ll make it easily these plods will lose before lunch

 

[SC_Power]

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

Konstas would have been done by the same delivery, and you’d be defending him for getting an unplayable delivery that kept low.

 

[1990crow]

On form Cummins shouldn't play next test.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

I’d send two tailenders out and tell them to defend like their careers hinged on it.

smart option considering our bowlers are better batters than our actual batsmen

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Time to step up Lab has to get through this evening.

 

[celestial]

Yes marnus " no run"
Apt way to describe your batting

 

[Moonwatcher]

Trouble is, the rules of cricket don't allow you to declare when behind in the 4th innings.

In the days of catching boats home wouldn't they leave matches when still behind?

 

[Magma]

mate siraj its been two balls you cant be wound up by his weirdo stuff yet

 

[ManOfClay]

Marnus pulling out his theatrics again.

Just ****ing bat you turnip

 

[eddiesmith]

And the bloke that's actually a seasoned opener. A couple of blokes in the top 4 that only play for themselves...

Khawaja doesn’t face up first more often than not. Only faced first 25 times compared to 36 sitting at the non strikers end.

[Around the Wicket]

Labuschagne made his name facing a red hot Jofra Archer bowling 150kph in the Ashes as I recall

I think the 8 100s in short period against Windies / Sri Lanka / Pakistan and NZ helped him ease into it more than anything.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

well the idea was admirable pat.

also lol at that flying to slip because they've placed their fielders properly while they smashed the cover off it and it fell short.

Why we never moved ours forward

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I agree... But we don't do that anymore. Besides Green, tell me how many others we have done that in the last 5 years or so?

I guess Cummins would count when he debuted a few years ago but you are correct. Does Murphy count?

 

[Moonwatcher]

He’ll make it easily these plods will lose before lunch

Cummins isn't strictly needed for the rest of the match.

 

[hawkman]

Off to a flyer

 

[HirdsTheWord]

The alarm bells started last summer. It's now a loud siren.

ok its a very loud siren....

 

[troybe]

Marnus might want give the lawn a mow after work

 

[PhatBoy]

I maintain the pitch is a road. Our bowlers couldn’t manufacture anywhere near this much movement new ball old ball anything. They’re just shit and the Indian bowlers are showing the difference

Are you sure you didn’t mean that I say ‘isn’t’ Instead of ‘is’?
That means the pitch isn’t a road

That’s literally the definition of a pitch that isn’t a road.

A road is a pitch that no one can get anything out of.

 

[Bob Neil]

For those already writing him off in what admittedly is an absolute debacle for Australian cricket, McSweeney could hardly have had two more difficult situations to bat and two more wicked balls to be dismissed by. I’m not losing faith in him as a test batsmen or opener on the basis of this one match.

 

[MJG14]

Damn he's already beaten his first innings score.

 

[The King!]

India might win tonight
