3rd Test Border Gavaskar Trophy December 14-18 1050hrs @ The Gabba

[Sea fog]

Head is India's kryptonite. Mark Harvey once famously said I will only take a head job. He knows the importance of Travis.

 

[crows dude]

30 minutes ago, Head was 40*, Smith 42*.

Smith was in the 20s when head went passed him.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Did he have a life? I missed that. What was he on at the time?

Yep. Hit his pad and should have walked like Marsh did last Test

 

[grumbleguts]

Biggest cheat ever in the history of cricket WG Grace.

Absolutely. Did you know he bribed Charles Bannerman to play for England. Bannerman just took his money.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Smith was in the 20s when head went passed him.

And Smith got back in front

 

[Lunchtime]

From memory he did alright in India.

Averaging 32 away from home country for a Test middle order batsman is not good enough. Only has one hundred outside Australia.

 

[Lunchtime]

Harsh..
how many batsman do we currently have that perform well outside the county? I count zero

Yep and that's a wider problem. Hero's at home, garbage away.

 

[grumbleguts]

Smith was in the 20s when head went passed him.

No he wasn't

Buying a beer...lol.

Soft

Scull it down and jump

If only Travis Head was as affective away from the comforts of his home country (Australia) as he was in Australia.

In India's case that doesn't matter. Whether they play he flogs them, whether in India, England or here, whatever the format.

Rachel Khawaja part of the Seven coverage. Deadset.

Averages 47 in India though.

Fact is...he needs to be better outside Australia. They all do.

 

[Lunchtime]

Yep and overall his average outside Australia is not good enough for a Test middle order batsman.

Averages 39 in England and 47 in India. Just averages 3 parts of **** all in NZ, Pakistan, SL and the UAE.

Oh I do. I love it blended with the ranch sauce. Drizzle a bit of both on and mix.

You certainly miss something if you take a dump while Trav is batting.

His average is good in Australia, England and India (where he's played at least 3 tests). Everywhere else he's played 3 tests or less, so I'll give him a pass.

I don't remember Head being a walking wicket anywhere like Warner was against Broad.

 

[k31th]

the french cut haha

 

[dogs105]

From memory he did alright in India.

When they decided to give him a game...

 

[Jimthegreat]

Well placed shot...lol.
