I see man, where did your parents come from and in which year did they settle in Australia? Sorry If I am being too personal but I like interesting posts and develop brotherhood

My dad was from northern Ireland, things were pretty bad at the time for young Catholics and so on a whim he went to Christchurch he met my mum and then they followed a mate to Sydney as he had work there but that only lasted a few weeks so he found work in brisbane and a few months later I was born.

Is Pant the dead set dumbest batsman alive?

Slog, Slog, Edge...

 

[ams4crows]

great catch, important wicket.... probably only 20 minutes of cricket left which is sad

 

[Visions]

I reckon he's trying to farm it myself

Farming, milking, it's all the same industry. ha ha

Fair play to handscomb. He must know he's a cert to be axed for the boxing day test but he's been superb in the field

One of my primary schools in the early 80s had 80+ percent of kids there with one or both parents born overseas.

I see mate, are there a lot of Indian/ Australian and do you know where can I find a Indian area in Melbourne. In every country there's a little india or a chinatown

 

[Struggle]

That was vicious

 

[smasha]

I hope they keep this team for Melbourne.

[Cuzz09]

That Domain ad shows the Aussie cricketers at an auction for a $1-$2 million house.

The lads are struggling for coin

 

[manureid]

That catch made me hard. Not even going to lie

Sarah definitely smiled.

Not only is this pathetic tail hurting India the team, what is it doing to poor Pant, having to bat like this almost every time he’s at the crease? The kid has a lot of talent, how much if it is going to be wasted if he’s constantly having to strike-farm and hit out?

That's the quandary India is in at the moment. Their fast bowlers can't bat jacksh*t. But they're also the best 3 fast bowlers in the Indian squad. So it's pretty difficult. You don't want to compromise on your bowling, because ultimately you need 20 wickets to win a test match. But at the same time, it leaves India with the worst tail in the world.

At the most, you can pick Kumar for one of the three fast bowlers (Umesh will be dropped anyway), but Bhuvi is a new ball bowler and doesn't have enough speed to trouble the batsmen once the shine goes off (which it happens pretty quickly in Australia).
