Boxing Day Test: Australia v India @ MCG (Mon - Fri)

[TheGoatBaron]

I think you made your point about 400 posts back. We don't need repeated pages of posts about how Test cricket isn't the same as the golden oldies days. Don't like it, don't watch it.

So Cowan should be dropped going by that post because of slow run-rate?

Calm down.

Maybe should have added 58 of these....

Cowan is doing a great job. I love his work.

How on earth do you deduce that from the post I made?

haha I'm just pulling your leg mate, relax man.

Then stop with the repeated snipes towards Hughes. He has gone back to domestic level, is putting a lot of work into his deficiencies, just let the man be.

Does anybody care about these constant cricket flash backs to the good ol's 80s?

Really bored of them

Same here. Would much rather some more recent matches.

Its refreshing to see an opener value his wicket.

Ill leave it at that.

 

[BACCS]

I don't get how you couldn't run 4 there, poor from Cowan.

 

[legend166]

Cowan has a bit of the Usman's about him between the wicket.

Clarke could have overtake him there.

The last time they worked in his technique it came back worse

I seriously hope he gets a better coach this time.

The rotator!?!?

Is this TVSN?

 

[Eth]

The Rotator? That's even worse.

 

[aussie1st]

Rotator huh wouldn't mind seeing how much revs Lyon gets over Hauritz.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Not paying much attention, what's the Rotator?

I love the idea that between April and October the Ch 9 Cricket department sit around thinking up new technology ideas.

 

[Simple Jack]

I don't mind the rotator. It would be good to see how much dip balls with more revs on them have.

I'd rather RPM than RPS but not bad.

Edit: ^^MWNN
It's a rev counter on the ball.

 

[Donakebab]

Chased the shit out of that.

 

[Ron]

That was a wide ball to be chasing pup

why is criticism of hughes unjustified?

One of the least deserved test selections in a long time. 17 tests on the back of his mateship with clarke.

Let him earn his test selection, and this time with 1 or 2 seasons of good form, not straight into the test side of 1 or 2 innings.

Be interesting at times to compare the rotations compared to what the pitch is doing.

Wonder if they can do it going back. Love to see Warnie and MaGill's, especially the "Gatting ball".

 

[Blue and Gold Blood]

Gotta love Bill Lawrys enthusiasm "The ROTATOR!!"

Haha, that's true. Looks more determined this time though.

 

[legend166]

What's wrong with the rotator? Seems like hating Channel 9 for the sake of it.

I want to see some comparisons between bowlers.

Before his test debut people here were SCREAMING to get him in the side. He'd dominated Shield cricket. Then backed it up before being dropped to protect Johnson.

Picking him the second time was ludicrous and did Hughes himself no favours.

 

[Jimthegreat]

How often do India go anywhere with a sh1t spinner. First time I can remember.

It isn't unjustified, it just isn't relevant anymore. He has been dropped, won't be seen for a fair while, so just let him work on his game without the whole of Australia howling down on him every second. He also doesn't pick the team, so you can't blame him for that. And you don't know he was picked because of Clarke, what a load of unsubstantiated shit that is.
