Hard to believe it's been nearly half a century since AB made his debut and you could probably argue nobody his been more influential than him over that time.

One of Australia's finest primates

Looking at that roller and see the branding: it’s a Mentay ‘cricket pitch roller.’

Does that mean it can’t be used to roll anything else? Roads? Tennis courts? Driveways?

Reminds me of Mrs Glick’s candy dish in the Simpsons.

‘No Ned, just candy.’

Sightscreens don't get moved anymore

Yes I know and yet the batsman still get distracted by people moving miles out of the line of the ball.

Maybe the ground staff were caught doing some driveway cashys on the weekend

Not like the old days when the moveable ones on wheels were about the size of an A3 sheet of paper. And provided a nice obstacle for outfield catches and fielding

And people could stand 2 ft either side of them and batsman had no issue.

Batted too slow this morning. Would've been better off just bowling. If a lot of time is lost need to knock India over for sub 246 to ensure they follow on. Otherwise may be tight getting a result.

That said, if you're not confident in having the time to get a result due to weather, you're better off batting for as long as possible and just trying to grind India down mentally.

They aren't having tantrums and dismissing every other pov. They have a right to their opinions but they aren't having tantrums and getting angry and swearing at people.
I doubt you hate test cricket, you just don't understand it.
I would take a captain's opinion who has won a WTC a WC and retained the Ashes over some nuffie using a footy team nic superseded in 1977, is all.

On SM-S908E using BigFooty.com mobile app

The irony of chipping someone for swearing, then calling them a nuffie is absolutely delicious

And for the record, that nickname was used well into the 90s... But don't let facts get in the way of your rant.

On to more positive things. We're bowling now!

 

[Richard Pryor]

I'm sure I'm not the only person who remembers Chetan Chauhan trying to claim monkey was a compliment before the bcci came up with maa ki in the Sympnds incident.

 

[Headless]

Great ball first up.

 

[dogs105]

So they'll shorten the lunch break today yeah? There won't be a 40 minute lunch break after 50 minutes of play following a 35 minute rain break?

 

[Moonwatcher]

I prefer lbw first ball

 

[ams4crows]

Oh to have Green in the gully....

 

[Moonwatcher]

[ams4crows]

[western royboy]

And the walls come tumbling down…

 

[Neese]

[Gavin Excell]

That's a terribly lazy shot

 

[Bedi]

[Scott Tracy]

Shot mate

 

[dogs105]

Oh to have Green in the gully....

I like Marsh where he is though

 

[Golumless]

Oh Jaiswal.

 

[Headless]
