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

[Adelaide Hawk]

I’ve seen enough, this Webster lad can play…question is, why wasn’t he in the side 3 matches ago?

Selectors need to pay more attention to what's going on at Sheffield Shield level.

 

[peternorth]

Beau the slug Reminds me of Tom Moody in the 99 world cup. He had a calming influence

 

[Plugger35]

At least he'll be familiar with disappointment.

At least he would have seen a couple of flags unlike us long suffering Saints supporters.

 

[BGman]

Good start from Slug. Horrible nick name given to Webster as it rymed with Snug his Tassie home town. Slug from Snug.

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Athers facing McGrath or Walsh was usually a guarantee for a wicket.
Broad v Warner obviously and for a time,Harbhajan and Ponting.

But this is Bumrah vs everyone

 

[Stax on the mill]

Don’t miss one of those full balls Smithy. Would be plum LBW.

 

[foxdog50]

Very short term memory.
Flintoff, Johnson, Warne, Steyn, McGrath, Rabada, every bloke ever who can bowl off spin in India et.

I'm all older then that era... Warne is the Goat , Steyn loved him, but there is something about Bumrah... His playing 5 games in a row were his the best bowler in a game easily.... His bloody scary

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Warne v Cullinan

Garner v Wessels

 

[10Dulkar]

When I started following cricket, I remember Moody as an all-rounder in the 99WC but more as an excellent overseas player for Worcestershire. He was also famously involved in the Desert Storm game and subsequent final. I believe he had a stint opening. Surely he should have played more for Australia in the middle order or is that just hindsight?

According to Kerry O'Keefe this is a message to Shield players that if you perform you'll get picked. Bancroft's headache from last night just got worse

 

[Pistol Night]

Garner v Wessels

Everyone V Bruce Reid

The slug from Snug not looking out of place.

I agree he's up there with them, but they all could do this as well, don't forget Warne taking 40 wickets in the ashes at like 35 years old in England with almost no help.

 

[Struggle]

Webster looks handy with the bat and ball, but are his vibes good enough to keep Marsh out?

 

[magic_johnson!]

For all of the swing and seam movement there hasn’t been a play and miss in a little while now. These two playing beautifully: singles and boundaries.

Never looked comfortable at test level and there was a long list of middle order bats competing for spots

[Aussie_boy]

Not sure why they have a deep point to Webster

 

[Pistol Night]

The slug from Snug not looking out of place.

Apparently he has a basketball background like all good Pies legends

 

[KennyHuntersBlues]

The Dictionary goes bang

What you talking bout Willis !

 

[hawkman]

How good is it having a number 6 that doesn't look like getting out every ball and can make double figures

 

[Westend]

Rewarding shield form good to see

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Smith now halfway to his required target to reach 10,000.

 

[Tassieboy]

He had a bowling average of 20 that series. Bumrah averages 17 against Australia full stop.
