[Headless]

That one could be costly.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

The bomb alert just when off. Evacuate the stadium and call off the game.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

LOL.

 

[Xtreme]

Everyone blaming the pitch needs to pull their heads out their arses

Pitch may be a factor but we’re simply not competitive

The North Melbourne Kangaroos of cricket at present!

 

[Zevon]

Smith to punish them for the no ball by scoring an unbeaten 400 and setting what proves to be a match-winning total

 

[11kgm]

Out Boland Renshaw Warner
In Green Head Neser

 

[samFFC]

How does cummins come in before Lyon. Lyon looks like he has some sort of an idea, compared to woke boy.

Who?

The bomb alert just when off. Evacuate the stadium and call off the game.

Ronnie has played his trump card. Genius

 

[Magma]

haha yeah take that india

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Bring a pace bowler to clean up the tail, why didn’t we do that FFS

We wanted to tire out and spin bowlers

 

[Westend]

warner and lyon to be dropped should be priority number one

 

[Doggy]

A no ball lol.

Smith gets a reprieve,

Lu ky we have your commentary and subtle digs, just in case we couldn't work it out for ourselves

 

[Around the Wicket]

Our Test summers are too soft to get us in good stead for a away tour.

 

[Syd_Bombay]

Australia need good coach and street smart captain ..
A coach from 90s-2000s invincible team who has done it all .. someone like Ponting Katich Haydos JL
Why isnt Dizzy Gillispie the coach for Aus. ?

India has Dravid and many others who are guiding India A and the national team passing on their experience to youngsters

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

Out Boland Renshaw Warner
In Green Head Neser

So many harsh on Boland

Didn't get the wickets but the pressure he built up surely helped produce a few

 

[Belnakor]

That ball that bowled smith was almost a doosra

 

[Copernicus]

****ing funny that was a no ball but what an absolute pearler of a delivery. Beat Smith all ends up.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Our Test summers are too soft to get us in good stead for a away tour.

Nothing can be done about that. The big 3 can't just play each other on rotation each year.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Out Boland Renshaw Warner
In Green Head Neser

Neser isn't even on tour is he? Why do people keep saying Neser

 

[peternorth]

Maybe the players arent that bad at spin, the cricket world just keeps telling them that.


or maybe they are

 

[mouncey2franklin]

Didn't Federer once lose a match after being up two sets to love and on match point?

Maybe this isn't over yet...

 

[MJG14]

I went away from the TV straight after that ball. Then I come back in and notice that they're still batting?

 

[FRUMPY]

That's gotta be the media manager talking to Cummins - 'this is how you answer all questions after the game....'

Who could we play that is good against elite spin? Pick the best players of it in Shield cricket but they'd probably be skittled as well.

I'm not arguing against it just that who have we realistically got?

No one. That's the problem.

The players we do have, the flat track bullies, are not the answer.

If we want to win here we need to get serious about developing talent against spin in raging turner conditions

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Is the six days until the 2nd Test enough time for our batsmen to learn how to play spin?

Hey we can schedule a warmup game lol
