2nd Test Australia v West Indies Jan 25-29 1430hrs @ the Gabba

[The 747]

Depends on the calibre of the fast med seam bowler, dont it. Is he only club standard, shield class or is he Clarke or Siddle class. Two guys that should know the ability of a cricketer, Ricky Ponting and Brian Lara rate Josh Hazlewood. Lara said he is as dangerous a bowler as the great Glenn McGrath while Ponting said his relentless chipping away in that 6-8 metre zone makes him a very difficult bowler to face because of the pressure he builds..

Hazelwood is a world class bowler and we are not likely to replace him with a bowler of similar quality. But his role in the team is the easiest one to replace, we lack many types n the domestic scene but we have heaps of right arm seamers who bowl 135kph. The bloke who is with the squad does that.

Ok, I’m going to need the back story behind Glenn McGrath batting 6 here

i remember watching this at the time. think he went in as a pinch hitter.

one of the asian commentators alluded to taking the mickey out of the concept, ie not kosher having a hit and giggle match (which is what him batting at #6 might make it) put together in benefit of the tsunami.

 

[Mostyn]

Yeah, sitting down is so hard.

Call us when you've experienced it.

It doesn't happen often, but when heat that oppressive hits Brisbane, you literally struggle to leave the house.

 

[Mostyn]

I couldn't give a stuff about our team so unlikeable. Would love them to blow through us and win by 30 runs.

This is a very likeable Australian team - Cummins is one of the greatest leaders we've had.

Head, Carey, Green, Usman - all legends.

Anyway, aren't you a Windies supporter? Why are you saying "we" and talking about Australia?

 

[Topkent]

Yep the competition is alot worse. Hides the fact that players that missed out in the glory years of 90s-00s like Love, Law, Hodge to name a few were actually way better than we give them credit for and would be 100 match Australian players with over 10000 runs. I'm sure of that

Di Venuto, Bevan, Elliot.

Even guys like Lehmann and Katich would have played 150 tests now

 

[Mostyn]

Lol they were talented AF teams with personalities. These guys are bland as *, concede the most runs against tail enders of any country and play nice guys with everyone which makes it even more boring. Least likeable team I've seen

The alternative perspective is - you might just be an absolute w***er?

 

[Mostyn]

Anyone in Brisbane? How likely are we to get play today? Forecast looks bad but the weatherman is rarely right

No chance. Storms, and when they hit in Qld they mean business.

Cummins is a shit captain who folds as soon as the games taken to him.

Green and Carey are legends? Lol
****ing borrrrrrring.

Now I'm a windies supporter in your head aye? Easy to say something stupid when you don't actually have anything to say

Coming from the bloke who can't handle hearing that is heroes are boring take the posters down mate.

Yep. I had never really thought about it but I wonder how Marnus, Smith , Warner would go back in those days

 

[Topkent]

Marnus and Warner would never have played test cricket.
Smith batting the way he has in England would have played, just not sure how much. Guys like Waugh, Clarke and Martyn were always gonna be picked on technique. Smith probably plays instead of the 6 we changed all the time. But he scores in any era

 

[Mostyn]

Cummins is a s**t captain who folds as soon as the games taken to him.

Green and Carey are legends? Lol
******* borrrrrrring.

You've been blatantly cheering for the Windies, so either you're a supporter, or you're just a mouthy flog that hates the national team. I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt.

Cummins has won everything in front of him this year, including winning a few by his own hands.

But you don't like him, because you're one of those aging Facebook nannas who likes to criticise people for being "too woke".

Whatever. He's a champion, and you're some weirdo hater who's pining for flogs like Matt Hayden. There's not much worth listening to.

Settle down, cooker - you can go take your old man pining for the good old days somewhere else.

Imagine getting so triggered cause someone doesn't like people you don't know

 

[Wayne Dwop]

FFS Brian Lara ....I Farken know.

 

[frankrizzo]

Rain should be clear by start time still chance storm builds and comes through but no more rain behind this huge bit sitting over us now, we were all thinking day night test cost us due to weather in brisbane might save us today having later start and with pink ball can play even if its gloomy.

You're entitled to your opinion, but in this case, your opinion is wrong.

Ashes in England would prove you wrong champ

 

[The 747]

Ashes in England would prove you wrong champ

HE CHAMPED HIM

 

[Mostyn]

Didn't win the ashes dumbass

You absolute dribbler - this is one of the most successful years a cricket team has had. We didn't HAVE to win the Ashes, because we already had - they already were ours! And they still are, as is the test championship and the World Cup!

You should go back to Facebook posts complaining about things not being like the good old days - you don't have much to offer here.

 

[Pistol Night]

HE CHAMPED HIM

It’s on now!!

No, he’s just a anti Australian supporter.
The tantrum he threw when we beat Pakistan would have made any 3 year old proud

Sorry dumbass try again

Maybe guess my age Facebook habits as well again you might get something right eventually

 

[gtrxuone]
