Warne talks a lot of shit but the one small thing he has going for him is a reasonable knowledge of the northern hemisphere and cricket’s happenings outside our borders. He’s spot on about Ali. He’s a very poor man’s Gilchrist when it comes to changing the direction of an innings.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Easy to say now, I guess, but that just looked plumb. Biggest mystery is how it wasn't given on field.

New DRS rules seem good - you can review that without any worries because you know it will be Umpire's Call at worst. Rather see sides review everything they think is out rather than review anything at all if it's over 75 - 79.

It’s strange that this wasn’t changed much earlier. I remember from the first days of DRS everyone thought it was unfair to lose a review from a decision that was umpires call. Good change

I know there are still seven days until summer actually starts but when the crickets on it feels like it's started.

And then cricket ends suddenly early January with the last Test

5/200 would be ideal.

From 1/120 I'd be stoked.

England really need this partnership to develop into 70+ I reckon. Once there at 4/240 they can press on for 370+ comfortably, but if they lose another one tonight they'll be looking at 300 max I think.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Tim Paine performance out of 10?

6?

 

[RookiePick]

...and now we are haemorhaging runs. Strange day!

350 pass mark for the Dart

Haven't seen a heap of him but he strikes at 53 so I don't know how much of an aggressor he can be.

 

[PhatBoy]

Geez that was a fair shot

 

[LukeParkerno1]

6?

I'm a big fan but if you drop a catch you can't be more than a 3 or 4 out of 10 as a keeper

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

The Aussies are tiring.

 

[a mayes ing]

Get Starc on, so often when we get wickets we can't close the innings off and they get a mountain of runs with the lower order. We can't afford to let them off the hook

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Tim Paine performance out of 10?

6?

3 at best

I wouldn’t let that fool you.

155 off 207
86 off 96
76* off 66
108 off 150
77 off 88.

He’s an incredibly versatile player - he’s made some big scores that have involved a lot of grafting as well.

 

[a mayes ing]

Lyon needs to use the one that goes straight on, did so well with it on the subcontinent pitches

The complete opposite of his knowledge of our domestic cricketers.

 

[Gavin Excell]

4-200 score at stumps?

Be about even days play?

 

[Kram]

Seriously, how do you not give that out? That umpire is useless.

Just got home, let me guess it was Erasmus.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Hey Warnie, if you have a lower batting average, and higher bowling average, you do not have a better record. FYI

 

[Mitchell54]

Get Starc.
Get him going hard. See if he can get a couple deliveries going a 150km/h

 

[FKASC]

More wickets tho

Wish Gerard Whately was a TV commentator and not a radio one

 

[roscreasl98]

You really have no idea about test cricket do you?
