unforgiveable

While a great series for him, a no ball wicket added to two scores in the 90s is very frustrating for a guy who really needs to be taking these moments after the career he's had thus far.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Oh, Shan. Marsh gets him the same way anyway.

I agree CC. Love a bit of Riz

It reminds me of Pietersen and some of the knocks he played Down Under.

I think it's the way teams have to play here. You can't let our quicks get into a rhythm and have to keep the run rate positive.

Easier said than done obviously, but the Rizz showing it's doable.

Pitty he lacked the the Rizz with his uni mate

Putting on the Rizz

Sad to find out we only get CCs B grade material here.

Very close to solely becoming an Alana King Stan account.

I hope the Eagles are paying attention to this.

I still think we'd be better off going to Melbourne for 2.5 weeks (three weekends) and knocking off three away games instead of 1. Doing that once would cut out 2 return trips (4 flights).

If we have ten away games, we could do:
-Two trips to two of (QLD, NSW, SA) and knock off 4 away games (saving 2 return flights on current arrangement)
-Two trips to Melbourne for three away games each time (saving 4 more return trips). If we have to play in tassie we do that as the game in the middle of the 3 game stint (same with Geelong).

Turns 10 return flights into 4 and allows much better recovery while away between games.

1. The AFL determine the fixture, so as much as we could recommend extended trips interstate, it would have to be in the interest of the AFL. You'd also likely have to get the Dockers to sign up as well, as the AFL would want one game in Perth per week over the course of the season.

2. Last time we had extended interstate trips were the COVID bubbles, and by all reports we absolutely hated those (and were pretty bad on field).

Salman looks a real fighter as well, this is a great partnership thus far.

Carey is a fine whiteball player and we see him playing the sorta cricket Rizwan plays at shielf level, so I’m hoping we can see him play this attacking brand of cricket in tbe future.

 

[Keys]

Rizwan with the type of counter attacking innings that Gilchrist would be proud of

Getting Pakistan back into the match

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Inglis has a bit of Rizwan about him. Hopefully he gets a Baggy Green at some point.

I’m hoping we can give him a block of red ball cricket soon. Been a while since he played. I’m actually in the camp of not taking a reserve keeper to NZ and have Bangers as the reserve keeper. You can always fly Inglis over late but also Bangers is a fine keeper himself

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Usman drops one off Mitch. GTFO.

This just came into my mind but who replaces Warner as opener in ODI’s? Bison has made runs there but I actually wouldn’t mind Inglis opening

Matt Short would be the obvious replacement from state level. Wouldn't be surprised if they try Cam Green in the top 3 with Head/Bison either.

I'd go Marsh, keeps him away from spin until he's set. Inglis to three.

Windies will be the perfect chance for him. Like I said in another thread this sides gonna lose a lot of stars from now until the next WC. It’s actually a great chance for Green to cement his spot too

Matt Short, Mitch at 3.

 

[Keys]

Don’t think we’ve bowled particularly well today.

Wickets have come more from poor shots rather than good balls

Cummins to Babar excluded

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Bizarre this. Haze isn't a bang it in type.

May as well have played Morris.

 

[Feeling Groovy]

Idiotic cricket again by Australia. Josh doesnt have the pace for short pitch bowling on a relatively dead wicket and is getting hammered but they keep going with it. Bowl good line and length with the odd short ball. It ain’t hard.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Would have loved Warner having a trundle ahead of Labuschagne.

Maybe in the second dig!
