[MJG14]

$10 entry for tomorrow sounds enticing. Might go in.

No one liked Grieg while he was alive but the second he died "what a great commentator!"

Nobody liked Grieg but he knew what he was talking about.

 

[Joffaboy]

Boland and Cummo will rip through em.

Chris Martin was more solid than Marsh

Too far

 

[Jimthegreat]

Boland’s looked pretty solid both innings, a great lower order batsman to stick with a top order batsman for one of those annoying partnerships. Unfortunately he’s been batting with fellow tail enders this test.

Fair to say his job as nightwatchman in the Ashes helped win us that Test as it was just a 43-run margin. He batted for "a month" at no.3 for 20.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Would give my left nut for our team to fire up and be ruthless tomorrow.

 

[KennyHuntersBlues]

That these 2 are relatively comfortable on this pitch does not bode well

 

[Gough]

They really weren’t.

Bill could be a cheerleader at times but overall they were nowhere near as emotive as the current bunch who jump between favourites depending on where momentum is

They weren't the talent, the game was. Modern commentators could learn from that.

Bill was a painful cheerleader. Aus could do nothing wrong and all he did was pile on the tourists.
Agree on the current lot. Sport commentary in this country is the pits.

Too far

Not far enough

 

[reggie]

I reckon this pitch has a little more in it than last time where they were able to survive when in trouble in Sydney if memory serves correct?

300 is difficult on the last day in the best of circumstances and they’ll have enough time that surviving for a draw should be out of the equation. It’ll be a result either way, unless these 2 bat another hour!!!

Correct, more seam movement today than any other in the test according to the stats, despite the claims of it being a road on here

 

[Coasters7]

Yeah not a fan of how easy it is for 10 and 11 to knock the ball into gaps. Easy chase if they take their time. Even if it’s 150 off the final session

 

[RookiePick]

Jesus. Umpires can't fire our blokes out fast enough for lbw. 8 guess Marnus did have a bit of luck fall his way earlier

 

[TigerCraig]

Nobody liked Grieg but he knew what he was talking about.

And a great line in framed limited edition memorabilia

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

How does Spencer Johnson go with the stick? Feel like he's a certainty to see a few games once Starc finishes up but never seen him bat.

 

[Plugger35]

Fleming barracking hard for Boland, I guess someone needs to barrack for the Vic cricketers with Bill Lawry no longer around.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

Boland and Cummo will rip through em.

That’s the spirit I like to see.

 

[k31th]

It doesn't matter who's at the crease, it's easy to bat against a ball that's 55-80 overs old since the ball hardly seams at all and bounces slowly off the pitch.

 

[Joffaboy]

That these 2 are relatively comfortable on this pitch does not bode well

Once it gets to 60 overs the ball is dead.

Ponting says the opposite, said the metrics showed yesterday was moving more.

With the new ball maybe. If we haven’t got them 5 or 6 down by lunch there could be huge problems.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Need the psychological boost of 300.

 

[yabsy]

He's pretty much Jack Leach with the bat. Doesn't really score runs, but knows how to stick around for a good amount of time

Leach has a high score of 90

Chris Martin was more solid than Marsh

Maybe Coldplay Chris Martin, but certainly not the NZ one!

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

The over rate is gonna be something to behold tomorrow
