Hell probably go out cheaply, but handscomb does at least have a plan to use his feet against the spinners

Ashwin/jadega will cotton on quickly.

 

[Aussie pie]

That is absolutely what I would do, Green is a genuinely good bowling option, especially in these conditions.

But they won’t bowl Green more than 8 overs an innings because the “sports scientists” say so.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

We cannot go into the next Test with a tail this long

Starting at the openers?

I agree.

 

[Kram]

Head had a lot to prove and would've probably struggled anyway but playing Renshaw in the middle order instead is hardly going to be any better.

 

[Westend]

doesnt have to bowl he is a rh batter which we need

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

Can’t get stumped if you hit it

Hahahaha. You absolute tool.

 

[Copernicus]

Check it out, using your feet actually helps.

‘Load management’.

 

[Cringle]

**** me we are struggling.

Exclusively watching it just for Steve Smith.

Hopefully he can get some runs and remind the world he’s the best since Bradman.

 

[Syd_Bombay]

I guess the curator "fixed" the pitch again during lunch break ?

 

[Pistol Night]

Need a few

LOL

Yes they’ve rigged the independently made technology.

Again, complete misnomer. The technology is operated by the local TV production company, and has been demonstrated time and again that the impact points are selected by hand (only on available frames) by an operator.

*the company being used here is also the undercutter of the original undercutting company. Less cameras, far less frame per second captures.
Gotta be one of the only sports in the world where the technology is actually going backwards in terms of precise accuracy all in the sake of money (well, that and maybe the AFL which can't even get GoPro 6s with HD 120fps on the goal lines)

 

[Belnakor]

Handscomb takes two deliveries to look better than Warner and usman combined

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

Ha, you have no idea. Let's smash the CEO, nice one.

Now for the cricket.

Why not…. I’m sure you smash the staff when you want.

 

[hoopla]

As expected, the on field umpire raises the finger for lbw frequently when Aussies are batting and not once when India batting. Thank god for drs otherwise India would have batted forever.

 

[PhatBoy]

Like clockwork

Your period over the likelihood that within 30-60 seconds an independently designed and sold predictive technology program has been doctored to assist one team over another?

Yes I know. I could set my watch to it

 

[Nuggetz]

Surely Green for Renshaw and Head for Warner. Push labs to open and smudge to 3. They can't afford to drag on warner and renshaw was horrible. He's also injury prone.

 

[BACCS]

Ah man, a big reality check I think, its all good and well beating up on minnow countries looking like Don Bradmans and Shane Warnes but the second we get the first real test, we are predictably s**t.

Ah huh, must be so easy to play in India, clearly this Aussie team is the only one over the last 20 years to struggle

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Well it was plumb

Add to that, when it's consistently hitting the pads, they're going to give them.

The ones we reviewed weren’t plumb?

 

[rippersnipper]

Clarke was an absolute gun at using his feet, and was willing to do it on debut ffs. Some of these guys have been around for years at this level and still haven't figured it out.

 

[Jamurp]

Poor Head would be feeling hard done by, Renshaw fails in both digs, couldn’t even field ffs, nice one George Bailey.

 

[BACCS]

Pitched outside leg

 

[revo333]

Can’t get stumped if you hit it

You make it sound so easy!!

 

[danielnajdek]

I agree. Then blame them when they get stumped and demand the re-inclusion of Wade, Maxwell, Quiney and Pucovski.

I didn't say dance down the pitch and smack them for 6. You can get to the pitch of ball without getting out of your crease.
