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

[Gough]

Where would India be without Bumrah? Had he had decent support we couldn't have made merry while he was spelled.

It's a bit like NZ in the 80s when they had Hadlee from one end and a motley assortment of honest toilers from the other.

 

[ibd77]

Again, zero hand shakes or onya mates from the Indians.

Only Carey ran over at him on the back.

Disgusting

...or Cummins

 

[JimmyBC]

Maybe 3 or 4, he's almost 31.

In a world where blokes are playing to 37 or 38 you are being a Sea flog.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Yes, McSweeney would be out.

That wouldn't shock me the way we select teams.

 

[manureid]

Why are theu going after Bumrah though. See him off. The rest of them are pants.

 

[FreoRicci]

Marsh surely is out. Never understood why he’s so favoured.
Can’t even bowl these days.

 

[grumbleguts]

"Driveway to disaster"

Haven't missed Flem's rubbish.

This is the list I sent him.

Causeway of concern
Alley of angst
Avenue of anxiety
Way of wariness,
Terrace of terror/trepidation
Promenade/Parkway/Pathway/Plaza of panic/perturbation
Driveway of disquiet, dread, delay, doubt, disaster
Boulevard of blunder, busted stumps,
Underpass of uneasiness,
Inlet of indecision, inaccuracy
Highway of hesitation/howlers
Esplanade of edginess/equivocation/exits
Freeway of failure/flinching
Street of stalling
Aisle of indecision/inaccuracy
Motorway of miscalculation/madness
Hallway of howlers
Mall of miscalculation/madness

So yeah I'll take that hit.

 

[hawkman]

Uzzi is 38

And out of form and lucky to be in the team

 

[Cataholic]

Head averaging 98 at a strike rate of 94 this series

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Was tough for Marsh to come in and get Bumrah with the new ball to face first up.

Yeah, maybe we should protect top 6 batsmen from doing their job

 

[PhatBoy]

Why are people moaning about Head's away record jeezus he's got 5 to 7 years to improve it.

Enjoy the moment ffs.

Someone earlier said that he has to be in the conversation with the likes of Katich and Langer (I think that’s who they namedropped in there).

Which is frankly ridiculous

Hell, Katich hit 7 of his 10 hundreds outside of Australia.

And you make a great point Head has ages to do it and he will be riding high as a kite off the confidence he will have at the moment and the Sri Lankan bowlers will have their hands full when they host the Aussies in a few months

 

[Cataholic]

And out of form and lucky to be in the team

Don't disagree, but it shows Head has an opportunity to play for a few more years yet

 

[Jimthegreat]

No, but neither can McSweeney

McSweeney will be a good player for us one day but not as an opener. We have openers in form at Shield level

 

[BGman]

Bumrah with second new ball bringing us back to the field.

 

[FreoRicci]

Was tough for Marsh to come in and get Bumrah with the new ball to face first up.

Damn. Shame Smith and Head gave him a comfortable score to defend and take it easy. That sucks

 

[74561347]

voyager 2 is currently 23.5 billion kilometres away from earth

if mitch marsh was that far away he still wouldnt be far away enough from the australian side for my liking

 

[danielnajdek]

Carey dancing down the wicket to a fast bowler lmao.

 

[BGman]

We have openers in form at Shield level

Two specially. Henry Hunt, Tim Ward.

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Two specially. Henry Hunt, Tim Ward.

We don’t play form cricketers. Inglis?

 

[Burtonsgottago]

Where would India be without Bumrah? Had he had decent support we couldn't have made merry while he was spelled.

Where would Australia be without Head?

 

[foxdog50]

What are they saying is a good score ?

 

[Gough]

voyager 2 is currently 23.5 billion kilometres away from earth

if mitch marsh was that far away he still wouldnt be far away enough from the australian side for my liking

On that note, if people haven't heard the remaining members of the Bali 9 could go to the Test tomorrow if they wanted to.

 

[hawkman]

Why are we swinging at every ball? Still should be trying to get as big a 1st innings score as possible.

That's why I think the Doug Walters call was a good one
