Boxing Day test. AUS vs WI

[Doss]

Is this Brathwaite related to the opener Brathwaite? I'm assuming he is as there can't be that many Brathwaites around.

He's batting pretty well apart from that brain fade slog off the no ball.

Not related.

 

[footyfan1978]

Bravo followed his cousin batting technique, but he applies it with about as much flare as Larry Gomes.

 

[Oxirane]

Does stumpcam have a wide enough field of view to help check no balls, or is it too distorted that wide?

 

[Oaktree]

If Khawaja was 15 off 95 in the first innings at 6/115 I'm sure we'd all be having a go at him.

You need to turn over the strike in order to make it harder for the bowlers. Plus he should have his eye in by now, so should be attacking the bowlers way more than he is doing.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Carlos Braithwaite is built like Tarzan but bowled like Jane.

I thought he bowled okay - put in the longest stint of any of the bowlers and kept hitting the pitch hard.

 

[Hawks1523]

What the **** are Warne and Slater talking about? If the West Indies go out cheaply and get rolled in three days they'll get shit heaped on them for not putting up a fight. Instead they dig in and put up a fight, and now they're playing themselves out of form.

so channel 9 is now complaining cose one of there batters is showing fight deary me! it's test cricket bravo can make 100 off 600 balls if he wants

 

[philreich]

FFS, that is seriously below the belt. Knock a man whilst his is down. You sir, are a cruel man.

Mate it was a comment borne out of frustration. I want to see a decent contest, and they've been in short supply this summer!!!

 

[1892]

Two separate movements with the individual bails:

• Nevill removed the leg side bail
• Batsmen foot lifted
• Nevill removed the off side bail

Umpire and channel 9 looked at the wrong replay, it needed to be extended to the second bail getting knocked off.

bravo doing an ed cowan not good enough in straya have to have Davey like s/r

Is that how the rule works though?

I thought that once a bail had been lifted, even if only one, the next step has to be snatching a stump out of the ground while holding the ball.

Isn't it once the bails are broken you have to take a stump?

 

[theyellowsash]

Wtf wearing the watch while batting...

 

[newblueo]

Only one bail lifted and was knocked off in the first movement, the off side one remained on the stumps unbroken. I could be wrong, but I thought the stump only needs to be removed when no bails remain in place.

 

[McCrabblett]

Australia looking quite flat. Not much talk just going through motions.

 

[footyfan1978]

Good bowling Lyon.

 

[Oaktree]

Apart from getting bowled to Pattinson of the no ball, Brathwaite has batted perfectly. Solid defence and scoring with minimal risk to turn over the strike.

 

[sherb]

Because no bowler has bowled a no ball before.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Bravo's 2 in an hour > Warner's 23 in 12 balls

 

[footyfan1978]

I was thinking, if I was a fielder would I be sledging Bravo for how slow he is batting? and my next thought is would not have the heart.
They so far down it would be a hard hard man to keep sledging them.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Time for Mitch Marsh, reckon he may draw a few strokes from the batsmen.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

reckon its close to time for some steve smith pies always picks up a wicket

 

[footyfan1978]

They are better than pies.

 

[damochandler]

get the feeling they will bat again as in australia
