Nervous so I went to fill up the bird bath and collected some feathers.

Very wholesome. Not to worry, I took a double shot of tequila for the both of us

 

[Pistol Night]

Why are all the signature the same lol.

Ricky Nixon sorted it

 

[jackn]

Smith’s issue is his atrocious 4th innings performances. Never scored a century.

He basically doesn't sleep during a test. By the time it gets 4 or 5 days in he's probably a zombie.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Wow, Ch 7 putting the ultimate motza on the game, celebrating the win and the series with this….

No memorabilia should be sold in Aus anymore now that Tony Greig can't spruik it like the good old days.

 

[philreich]

Hopefully Head is bowled off a no ball straight after lunch, and then finishes 60 not out.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Problem is that Head looks shit scared to get out. He bats best when he’s got ultimate freedom. We should have opened with him.

Had nothing to lose opening with a couple of sloggers.

 

[Xtreme]

I'm a fan of Nathan. Not as the opener though.

Indeed
He should still be in the middle order (yet Webster has done well so far)

The beautiful antique wedgewood spittoon from The Golden Golly was a must have

 

[mike14]

We all piled onto Pant for holing out when he did…. Or was that different?

Slightly different due to opener vs being 5 down or whatever it was.
But both shots that just weren't needed

 

[King Elvis]

While our politicians are the richest in the world and tax the living **** out of us. I think most of will keep

Our politicians are nowhere near the richest in the world.

 

[swingdog]

There's been so much complaining about Indian fans and players whinging on here since Melbourne.

And now we have someone whinging about people from India... going for India.

Unreal.

I suppose if you move interstate you should probably ditch your footy team and start supporting one from your new state as well?

Yeah, I lived in England for 10 years and never supported them in the Ashes. Why would we expect it of somebody else?

 

[Xtreme]

All knocking Konstas?…
If our top 5 had also made his 22 we’re almost home

As an opener he has to 1) blunt the opening g attack and 2) score more runs than a lower order batsman would. He's a huge fail and crickets version Nick Kyrgios - all hype.... no substance between the ears.

 

[RandB]

Ussie has to stay out there to the end and close off one end. Happy with singles.

The others just need to play natural game but not swing at everything. It is hot out there, the bad balls will come.

 

[Pistol Night]

Politicians are paid **** all really thats why we get the standard we do

Was genuinely such a bizarre post. Any Aussie that did it would be labelled a turncoat on here.

JB not burying the lead with Errol Gulden and Tom Papley "what happened in the grand final you boys?"

 

[eddiesmith]

This is not wishing injury on anyone, but imagine the scenario.

Smith gets hurt before Sri Lanka and can’t play, is out for 12 months. Now at his age you’d consider retiring but he’s on 9,999 runs so he gets fit, plays a BBL game on New Years Eve and declares himself fit for the Sydney test.

Series tied 2-2, does he play just for his own personal milestone?

 

[Beejay Crow]

Boland to score 25 and hit the winning runs saving the game for Australia.

Then get dropped next game

Rather him not be required to bat thanks

 

[Neese]

Very wholesome. Not to worry, I took a double shot of tequila for the both of us

I have vodka and moscato. Unfortunately start work at 9am tomorrow.

"Same as the one 2 years prior Jim"

 

[grumbleguts]

When I moved to Tonga, I supported Tonga over Australia in everything. That was my country.

Guy at channel 7 forging all the autographs.

If he's best XI, which he more than likely would be, then yes.

 

[Mick F]

That's what happens in sport, dipstick. Supporters rip into the opposition. The old "every Indian supporter is an arseh*le " line has got boring. They are just as entitled to support their team as much as you are and if you want to deprive them of basic necessities for doing it then there is something seriously wrong with you.

Yes. It’s not treason. Surely people are free to watch what they enjoy in their leisure time.

Same, Norman Tebbit called it the cricket test but he was worried about Asian and Caribbean people and not people like us because he was a racist old shit bag.
