Australia v India, 3rd Test at the MCG Dec 26-30

[Bradesmaen]

Apologies, London, Fremanle same thing, actually more quarter brains in WA than England, happy new year.

I'm not from London either... assumptions are making you an ass.

 

[The Speaker]

Travis Head's spot at risk?

no

 

[gordo2016]

Don't rehash, decisions need to be made now for the future of Australian cricket. Put the young batting prodigies in now. Find our best leg spinner and play him as well. Finch, S Marsh first to go, enough's enough

Who are the young batting prodigies?

 

[The Swans Blog]

Travis Head's spot at risk?

I would think so if he keeps getting out to dead shit shots

 

[FredLeDeux]

Wouldn't have thought so, being our highest scorer for the series so far.

Moreover, you would suspect that he's in strong consideration for a future leadership position, and that he's probably going to be given a fair bit of latitude through any form slumps.

Travis Head's spot at risk?

To be replaced by?

Your post re cummins IMO was off the mark. As for being an ass, maybe, but it does say London. Still wishing you a safe and happy new year.

He's a project player, I'd like to see Renshaw given the same treatment but fear he's out of favour with management.

Warne with fake hair telling a bloke with a real mullet to have a good look at himself in the mirror. Jealousy much

 

[Kappa]

Who are the young batting prodigies?

2 young kids called Smith and D.Warner

 

[Cold Sober]

Wasn't there a couple of young blokes making centuries in shield cricket early season.
Renshaw must be a better option than Finch for one. I'm a Finch fan, Stoinas for Marsh, and I'm a marsh fan.
Batting is our problem. Rocket science, lucky we're dumb ****s and don't have to deal with the obvious.

 

[hoopla]

To be replaced by?

Mitch Marsh

your'e into cricket, two young blokes made shit loads of runs early, what were their names, one stopped thru issues

 

[Spook]

This pitch is offering literally less than half a degree of swing.

lol....

Pitch gives ‘seam’ mate, not swing. initially the pitch has nothing to do with until roughing up a side for reverse

Yeah, I could have phrased it better. But picking out a comment from early yesterday afternoon which was technically true at the time also is a good way to get a small W on the internet:

Young kid makes 1 big score in shield cricket and they're the saviour.

Welcome to Australian cricket in 2018

Rehashing, you are lad. So I will too.

Pigeon would’ve looked more comfortable than Handscomb against that Indian attack. Woeful. Walking wicket against England, rightfully dropped, comes back a year later, even worse.

181 in an Ashes test is telling for Mitch. Serviceable technique, despite his flaws. Better option at It’l level than Handscomb, though they’re both utter liabilities.

That’s that. My take on it is different to most, oh the humanity.

Implying you’re of questionable character because of that dementia comment (among other things) doesn’t have anything to do with my suitability to these waters.

Your comprehension ain’t the only thing off about you, pal.

Give up. If MM can make some decent runs in the second innings and the remaining tests, then people may change their tune, but I’d give him two chances of that...Buckley’s & none. His technique does not stack up in test cricket.

 

[PhatBoy]

The old adage of bowling trash gets wickets working for Cummins. Still a bog ordinary bowler despite what the stat line says.

Translation:

Still a gun bowler despite the utter dogshit I spit out about him

 

[Bradesmaen]

Cool story. Gun bowlers don't rely on trash and one delivery to get their wickets. They think through things and set batsmen up. The over use of the word star, superstar, gun etc is mostly my bugbear about current modern journalism and idiots on forums. Everyone is a STAR! Could be the worst player ever but they're still a star in someone's eyes. I mean Mitch Marsh is still referred to as an Aussie cricket star...

Botox has done a number on Warne. From Aussie boy next door to LA ****head.

Nah. He's like his brother. Technique is good enough. 6 inches of cold pudding between the ears is the problem.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Not sure this gets it done

Stoinis has done what to deserve it? He's not a top 6 batsman, nor is he an allrounder. He gets found out against the good teams in ODI cricket pretty quickly especially when not batting on a postage stamp. He doesn't kick on and make big scores in the shield even when batting at 3/4. 91 innings, 4 centuries in FC cricket. Some batsmen make more than that in a season.

Star may be overused for Australian cricketers, but the term "absolute pelican" is underused for you!

Welcome to Australian cricket in 2018

Comparison is we have experience letting us down hand over fist, youngsters may play for Australia and not the money
