Who is ADHD? Is that Smith? It can't be Cummins as he is Captain Woke.

That's certainly Smith.

 

[HK_Hawk]

Finish it off please Mr Maxi

 

[largebus]

Maxwell has lost his patience

 

[Some Idiot]

Well, we'll win in a canter in the end, but not sure we've solved our issues.

 

[akkaps]

Hey Labs... not enough time hitting a golf ball on an uneven pitch??? How much much more ridiculous prep do you need to actually make an impact?

Marnus isn't there to make quick runs. He's there to occupy one end and turn the strike over.
Australia wouldn't have made anywhere near to 177 last game if he didn't play the type of game that he played against South Africa

 

[Tugga27]

I'd tend to agree, but i think both boys are struggling

That's because we're still picking pretty much a test side.

Like to see guys like Phillipe, Caleb Jewell, Beau Webster and Matt Short get a try.

 

[jhong]

Maxwell having fun .

 

[Moonwatcher]

Well, we'll win in a canter in the end, but not sure we've solved our issues.

Our issues is that we aren't as good as the other teams and form. We can't really do anything about the first but hopefully we get into a little bit of form.

177 isn't going to win you many games.

Can't have both him and Smith in the side.

 

[Tugga27]

Like to see Ingo with a nice little 60 not to give him some confidence.

 

[HK_Hawk]

C'mon boys, finish it off clinically

As is Smith and others. How many do we need, especially when they are not doing their job?

 

[akkaps]

He didn't fail in his role though. It's the other players that failed in their roles again South Africa.
It's the same role Joe Root has in then English Bazball Test side, occupy the crease and let the other guys make the runs.

 

[HK_Hawk]

These are cheap runs.

If inglis and Maxwell can score these sort of runs against a quality team like NZ then I might take some notice.

I agree. Pressure has been somewhat reduced

 

[NSWCROW]

Ahahahahaaa the kiwi bird razzing Watto over drs

 

[akkaps]

There is no pressure on Maxwell, the only reason he is making runs so freely.

 

[Whiskers]

Well, we'll win in a canter in the end, but not sure we've solved our issues.

I think it’s been a pretty good match really.
Turned it around exceptionally well, showed intent.
Who do we criticise? Smith?
That’s it really, I’m giving everyone else a pass except Stoinis who hasn’t really been required.
Hazelwood will be fine.

 

[Bedi]

Don't want to jinx us, but if we win this it'll be a huge effort and hopefully the start of our run to the semis

 

[Tugga27]

You can have one, not two.
That's the problem.

That's why I was surprised at Marnus's inclusion to replace Agar, rather than the selectors picking another spinner like they should have.
Marnus has been a good selection. And you will probably see Smith dropped for Head when he is fit.

 

[Moonwatcher]

That's a pity

 

[NSWCROW]

Dumb

 

[Bedi]

shit i jinxed us

 

[Tugga27]

Doubt they will drop Smith for Labs.

 

[Moonwatcher]

The Melbourne Stars will save us ...

 

[HK_Hawk]

Hey, lets throw away another wicket and keep it exciting... farrkk heads
