Nothing short of a

I'm watching Hunt, Richardson and Morris in the SA v WA game hoping they all have great games. So far all terrific.

Hunt and Tim Ward both batting well. 2 years ago Ward was not far away from getting a call up. Had a poor year last year but if he can string some solid innings together he may potentially be a viable option.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Play them all in the PM XI's 2 day game

Or just follow Cummo and go to a concert.

Better than Starc Cumming Hazelwood flat track specialists bored watching them new blood please Morris Richardson be nice change flat overpaid soon as INdia bowled it was a nightmare to bat again can;t eb the ball? the pitch was changed? nope our bowlers shite

 

[samFFC]

He averages just 37 in first class cricket, nit expecting much to be honest.

But needs to bat in his spot, not opening.

 

[kickazz]

This is the probably the most unlikeable Aussie team. Soft, entitled, snobby having achieved nothing and woke. Give me the aggressive, barking, in your face, sandpapering team under Boof and Clarke every day.

They won a WTC and World cup in the last couple of years.

So you are wrong

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Averages 27 across 13 innings in FC. He ain’t the solution.

Perhaps he is now starting to show his talents. Wouldn't write him off because his first 10 innings weren't great.

 

[JimmyBC]

Cummins is the king of letting things drift in the field.

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

You gotta admit once India started putting the foot down with the bat it was a very entertaining watch.

Agree. Scintillating cricket by India. The batting line up will cop their fair share, but to be honest as someone who has played and coached a lot of cricket, the difference in the seamers is what has concerned me the most. Siraj and bumrah look to be playing on a completely different wicket to Cum, Hoff and Starc.

And this compounds the batting woes as such is test cricket. Being unable to break partnerships because your bowling is tepid, just means your bats are sun baked and exhausted by the time they are supposed to mount something monumental against a savage India pace trio.

 

[Shaunbkk]

Games against SA don't count.

true back to our true form useless SA need to spend more money on its once great Cricket academy India will win 5 -0 easy as Rogan Josh

 

[Belnakor]

Smith has him covered.

I'd have a beer with Warner before Smith.

I had a chat to Warner in the Qantas club awhile back he is alright.

Smith is on the spectrum he’d be murder to spend an hour with.

 

[windyhill]

Pass on both.

 

[Around the Wicket]

I didn’t even know women’s big bash has been on.. it’s almost finals time

No they won't

 

[MarcMaverick]

Cummins is the king of letting things drift in the field.

And Viva la Vida

 

[Jimthegreat]

I have my 5 changes ready to go. Two batsmen, 2 bowlers and the all-rounder. Bowlers possibly unlucky but in their middish 30s and once the pitch settled, they couldn't penetrate at all.

 

[dexter_]

How did this team lose 3-0 to NZ?

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Can we talk about Bumrah being one of the greatest bowlers of all time?

I’m very glad he’s the one getting the wickets. Deserves them

 

[Shaunbkk]

But your spot on
It's harder to get out of the team then getting in. As our selectors are a boys club

Hahahaha dumb country to be honest nothing on news on impending West provoked nuclear war like a small outback town is Australia all the headlines will be about our overpaid cricketers playing like swamp insects

 

[MarcMaverick]

How did this team lose 3-0 to NZ?

NZ isn't arrogant.

 

[chickenonachain]

Come on we all know the selectors are going to pick the same guys for the next test .whats the definition of insanity?

 

[imagifED]

They won a WTC and World cup in the last couple of years.

So you are wrong

Really only a WC. The WTC is the biggest load of. Uneven fixtures, point deductions, fixed final venue, etc.

 

[Around the Wicket]

How did this team lose 3-0 to NZ?

Lottery pitches produced and India lost the lottery 3 times

 

[I wanna pash Nash]

Labs has to go, he's got time to go back to shield and do a county season and get his confidence back. Still young enough to be around long term but him staying in the team will do him more harm than good currently. Looks shot.

McSweeney should be given at least till boxing day and should go to 3. I actually think he'll be fine. Bumrah was bowling nukes in the 1st and this evening was about the worst situation imaginable for a debut opener. Tough start for the kid, it's not his fault he was selected to open because no one else picked themselves.

This leaves a huge issue for the selectors but they've dug this grave themselves. Harris probably makes the most sense but you could put Head there and fit Inglis in somehow.

 

[Jamurp]

What a ****ing embarrassment, team that’s been sniffing it’s own farts for too long and no accountability because because the coaching panel is one big boys club.
