5th Test Border Gavaskar Trophy January 3-7 1000hrs @ the SCG

Lucky there was no edge on that hat trick ball…

Even if it was, Joel Wilson is the 3rd umpire, so no chance he would've given it out.

 

[big_e]

Selectors cop a lot of shit but Scott Boland was a 32-year-old Shield veteran who hadn't seriously been in test discussions. The decision to pick him vs England was pretty gutsy and it's turned out magnificently.

 

[1990crow]

Hope Webster gets one.

 

[peternorth]

Move to NSW

Has anyone moved to Nsw then suddenly themselves elevated?

I remember katich and Lyon were already in national colours before moving.

 

[Jimthegreat]

He nicked that Carey should never have played for Australia again

Imagine our meltdowns on here...haha.

 

[Cataholic]

This Webster guy is lollipop pace how can you be that big and bowl like a grandma?

Another 10kmh would be handy

 

[SportsCentre]

We're into their top order now

 

[catstorm]

Hope Webster gets one.

Be nice but he is doing exactly what we need him to do, bowl a lot of overs and not give up runs.

 

[1990crow]

I'd still pick Hazlewood in WTC final if we make it if he's fit.
Boland was pretty average in England last time.

 

[Struggle]

Webster looks so much faster when it hits the bat, then you look at it is just 125k.

Given 10 good pressure overs so far.

The said on MMM earlier he has the 3rd highest release point of any Australian behind McGrath and S.Clark
Would make a big difference on how it hits the bat

Hes gonna get belted for plenty of runs at some stage surely

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Hardly him
Would have a go at Kohli for going yet again at 5th-7th stump. It’s ridiculous how easy it is

Virat certainly has problems of his own, which somehow he hasn't been able to rectify. He seems to have tried a couple of things, but keeps getting drawn into the same thing.

Katich said he moved to NSW because it would put him closer to the establishment and get selected.

Might be a case of he can bowl faster, but loses control when he does.

 

[1990crow]

Have we doctored the SCG pitch for our bowlers here?

 

[Kuuz]

I'm sad we never got Lee/Tait/Johnson together if not just for the pure chaos.

The entire pitch would be lit up in the bowler pitch map

 

[Visions]

Pant. Just cannot help himself. Forget Rohit, the BCCI should have a word with him. Once he goes, he puts the team under pressure.

Like Mitch Marsh did for us.

 

[Gough]

Hes gonna get belted for plenty of runs at some stage surely

Cummins is having a nice rest though which is important.

Not sure, but it’s definitely good for the fringe players as above to become regulars, even Watto was another. Hodgey’s career ended when he refused an offer from NSW.

 

[hawkman]

I don't think either of them will be playing in our next Test.

Given Cummins probably isn't going to Sri Lanka one of them probably will unless it is a rank turner that requires 3 spinners plus Webster

 

[Jimthegreat]

Hits the bat so much harder than Marsh though. I think that is a more relevant measure. He is mostly a batter though.

 

[Shaunbkk]

Who said that

keep the nsw cum cirlce going strong

 

[largebus]

Webster has always been a 120 km/h max bowler. He's doing alright right now but if he had a bit more pace he would've replaced Marsh a bit sooner

 

[Mofra]

Hope Webster gets one.

It would be nice for him.
I really want Boland to get another to chalk up a 5fer. The way he's going it's likely.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Sucked in Reddy

Still bored?
