[THE A5]

Our whole first choice pace battery is now 30+

We'd be silly not to use the opportunity to start blooding a few new bowlers. I'd be drawing a line through Boland given he's 34 and was poor during the Ashes. Neser is 33, Jhye has obvious injury issues.

We need to blood Morris now and inject a few others around the squad, perhaps a Buckingham or the like.

I agree. Cummdogs been carrying this bowling line up on his back a bit but being the youngest and the captain I doubt either him of CA will rest him. Hoff probably will be the one to go

 

[squashface]

Would love to see Jhye and Morris as the future of our fast bowlers given the current NSW circle jerk

 

[Keys]

For anyone that missed it

Interesting turn of phrase about the Indian collapse from Ravi Shastri…

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Mukesh is basically Shami 2.0 - really looking the goods for India. Impressed me for the Capitals last IPL.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

That's unplayable from Bumrah to Stubbs. This pitch is a bowler's dream.

 

[Keys]

The sort of thing you might expect to see in U/12s or maybe social grade cricket

But this was a test match

W0W!

we just had the literal perfect opportunity to give a new opener 5 tests at home against weaker opposition and there was never a question we'd do it.

best we'll do is send the next in line on a tour where they can carry the drinks for a couple of months

Bought a Scorchers membership for the first time this season (have been to plenty of games but never a member). Been enjoying it so much, the form helps but the atmospheres have also been immense.

Nice to see some recent success at Optus

Reilly Meredith who plays for the hurricanes ? That guy has genuine wheels and a smooth bowling action.

Is he not suited to the longer form ?

Dad mercilessly irons out son going for crowd catch - that he dropped anyway

We somehow can't see him winning any father of the year awards!

He'll be in the doghouse if mum sees that

Same guy dropped one 2 overs before that . Went straight to him through his hands and hit him in the top of the head .

The one he polaxed his son was the redemption catch he also dropped .

Mum was sitting on the other side of the big butter fingers

 

[Forward Press]

Just saw that India score line

Losing 6 wickets for no runs is some sort of collapse

Both sides all out with less than 60 overs bowled total

How often has a side started their second innings on Day 1?

According to espncricinfo, it is also the first time ever a side has lost six wickets for no score.

Last game before Christmas our B Grade was 3/0 after the first over. Ended up limping to 130 and bowled the opposition out for 58.

Hussey thinks Pakistan are favourites.

Interesting take.

Depends on how well we bat today like he said. Pakistan getting to 300 has meant they’re right in the game given the SCG is usually very difficult to bat last on

Even if we make 400 they could still set a target of 150 runs if they apply themselves in their 2nd innings

The innings by Jamal has really set this match up

 

[Keys]

Warner very nearly bowled last night and now dropped on 20.

Absolute sitter too

 

[Truckosaurus]

Shafique breathes a sigh of relief that it wasn't him.

 

[Manbearpig77]

Think he's been doing it all year.

That's... Not a good thing.

No. He is not.

 

[FKASC]

Poor bloke on debut. Gets a second ball duck and then ruins things for Jamal dropping a sitter

 

[ioppolo]

Is it just me or are the commentators over saturating the Wild Thing nickname

Seems forced and slightly annoying

Also annoying because it really should've been trademarked for this bloke only;

 

[Goroyals22]

Hopefully Australia don’t have to bat in the second innings so Warner isn’t seen again.

Okay, Tom Petty.

Good bit of bowling by Salman. He's been really solid all series.
