2nd Test Australia v Pakistan Dec 26--30 1000hrs @ the MCG

[BLUEALLTHRU]

History repeating itself. We used to complain about how dominant the Taylor/Waugh/Ponting teams were, then we missed them when they were gone.

Let’s enjoy watching four of our very best ever bowlers go to work.

The disparity between the top few test teams and the rest is stark.

Is Hazelwood the most replaceable bowler of the 4?

I feel like he bowls so well and builds all the pressure but he doesn't get the wickets the others do.

Who replaces him? Not as a stop gap like Boland would be (as hes only got a couple years left), who are the young guns ready to take over from the big 3?

Yes but only because Scott Boland exists and because Hazlewood can’t bat.

If we didn’t have Boland and Starc wasn’t so important with the bat then it would be much easier to put Morris/Richardson, maybe even Johnson in Starc’s place.

Jhye Richardson would be up the front.

Injuries pending.

Masood is a great cricketer and seems the correct choice as captain moving forward

J. Richardson or Morris, but both will be in the side soon enough with Starc also nearing the ned.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Very very very out

Is Sutherland a chance? He's under 25 and already the Victorian captain. Hasn't put up anything amazing recently but is probably worth a look?

 

[ams4crows]

Wow!! Surprised it was given

 

[k31th]

Lyon! initial thought was it might slide down leg, but pretty adjacent

 

[Some Idiot]

Looked out

 

[The 747]

Just Shan Masood things. Looks totally comfortable, scores at nearly a run a ball, goes out.

Definitely.

Tennis ball setting.

 

[ams4crows]

There's no way it bounced that much???

 

[k31th]

bouncing over... interesting

Always review Aussie Joel’s decisions

 

[The 747]

Well there you go

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

What a load of crap. There's no way it's bouncing that much.

 

[swingdog]

Thought it was down leg, surprised on bounce.

He was a long way forward

Still enjoying that moral victory?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Of course

Haha, the old "hawkeye forgot gravity exists here on Earth"
