So what did we think of Webster on debut?

Excellent. Played with skill and joy. No histrionics, plays the game of cricket.

Has a future.

Rump is terrible, just like virat!

Cheap mate after Xmas I have to lol

I thought so too, looked like he belonged. Was trusted to bowl a lot more than our other all rounders in recent memory.

Looking forward to seeing him bat, and also in time bowl spin.

Just how I feel, I’ve already had enough of the antics of Konstas, smart arse and arrogant and not a lot else to back it up at the moment.
He’s played a half decent T20 innings in a test match that if it was anyone else they would’ve been abused for but the NSW cricket media are making sure he’s god like. Change everything he’s done and make it Glenn Maxwell, the abuse would be non stop.

Anyway he’s going to need to do a lot to turn me around on him. Calming the Marnus level of chat on the field and the Warner level of flogness. For me I’d rather a player who lets their bat do their talking.

I was surprised to read he's 31

So if he scores another 50 today?

Had a good day. Good contribution in the field and with the ball.

He'd really be quite a handful if he was a bit quicker, but it is what it is.

why oh why do their names get blurred out? if they're gonna be scum dogs then they deserve any backlash they get

 

[LukeParkerno1]

My words precisely. The immature way he behaves you'd think he came from a pampered, privileged childhood. Far from the truth as he was reared in a middle class family with his family having to make some sacrifices so he could play competitive cricket. If this is your last tour here Virat act like a grown up for its remainder.

Yep I mean I actually silly how ridiculous he’s got and I love Virat and what he’s done. Best all form cricketer maybe with ABDV we’ve seen he doesn’t need this

Adding to our slip fielding is a positive in itself been awful for a long time. Green has saved it from being embarrassing

Don’t they have moderators/admin on that forum? Should be banned for life for that sort of contemptible crap.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

India should have flown Pujara out here instead of Rohit, they could do with another old fashioned stonewaller test batsman.

They have too many talented but reckless IPL style cowboys that throw their wickets away.

Yes totally agree.
I don't follow Indian cricket that closely but was surprised he wasn't in the squad. Poor form and dropped?
Was a real thorn in our side, I admired his grit and application. They lack these two qualities right now.

Wow, it seems it must take a flog to know one. Pretty f**king stupid burying a 19 year old, who is living his dream, after a single test match. Well done you.

 

[Jim Prideaux]

LukeParkerno1 how’s the weather looking today?

 

[Bazza5]

Huge day. Massive day in the context of the series.

Absolutely. Though the number of times I’ve heard and said this over the last 5 matches just shows what a great series it’s been.

it looks like twitter, not sure what they allow on that shit

Nope I’ve made an early call on him and I’ll give it a couple of seasons for him to change my mind. I didn’t like Warner his whole career despite the runs and I’m not a Smith fan either.
I guess it says more about me that I’m quick to make judgments and slow to change but I’ll live with that.

Absolute scumbags. Geez I'd love to see Sam play a substantial innings today!!!

So you’ve never had a first impression of someone? Oh wait you just did it to me, after reading my post. Perhaps you shouldn’t complain about people when you do exactly the same thing your complaining about.

 

[Buzz Hawk]

I’m a fan of Sam and what he brings to the game.
That said, he really shouldn’t have got involved with Ussie’s time wasting antics. That was between Bumrah and Ussie.
Get some runs on the board before you do that sort of thing.
Sammy now has a massive target on his back, so he would want to score some runs today.

Lol. Sounds like you hate NSW.
