Cricket Discussion - Part 2

What may save Davey is that India is probably viewed in isolation by selectors, it wouldn't surprise if they revert back to the pre India batting order in other conditions.

That Travis head guy goes alright, wonder where he was first test?

Just don't send him to England. Stuart Broad is still in menacing form - it'd be a case of sending a lamb to be slaughtered.

He should've retired Davey he was never making runs in India either. Selectors just can't let go either which is why I'm not confident this is it.

 

[JimmyBC]

Not convinced Head is an opener he was just a far better choice than Renshaw for aggression while the ball is new.

 

[raptalia]

The Australians have to figure a way of getting Axar Patel out cheaply.

 

[philreich]

Kiwis down and very nearly out - chasing 394 to beat England, they're currently 9 for 99.

Ha ha - still hanging in there at 9/126...

EDIT: 126 all out - Eng won by 267 runs for their first test win in NZ since 2007 I think I read.

 

[JimmyBC]

They'd be filthy at Baz across the ditch

Gotta say - I'm getting more worried about this year's Ashes series by the day!!!

Geez, Travis Head really has trouble reading the spin on these wickets. He didn't have to go anywhere near that Ashwin delivery. It was a good delivery pitched outside of off stump turning away and Travis didn't have to play at it. I reckon opening is his position in India.

 

[philreich]

Wow - watching this, you're kind of expecting a wicket every ball. Nerve wracking stuff!!!

 

[glitch01]

Watching the Aussies vs the Indian spinners is like watching a deer in headlights.
Utterly clueless.
They all play in these meaningless crap T20 competitions and then are put in a situation where they can’t just slog and have no defensive technique at all.

Oh ****ing boy oh boy. Australia have lost 4/0 and Travis Head is not the only one who has no idea how to play on these wickets.

Inspirational effort by the captain….

Take Head's and Lab's score out and what have you?
Too afraid to do the maths.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Have we ever lost consecutive tests in under 3 days? This is putrid regardless of the cheap pitches produced

 

[raptalia]

So it is 8/110 with Murphy and Kuhnemann to come. Come on GOAT make it to double figures.

Look forward to the day ashwin & jadeja retire, same with broad & anderson. Our batsman are finding them unplayable

 

[philreich]

Calling this diabolical doesn't seem to adequately describe how bad it is.

 

[JimmyBC]

The amount of sweeping is ridiculous & obviously a tactic.

This is why the Hayden in India example is flawed, he was a great sweeper these guys are not.

Absolutely, that ridiculous 1st ball D grade hoik across the line got exactly what it deserved, and as for Matthew Hayden describing it as an attempted sweep.
Smith's dismissal was extremely poor as well, and then the selfish campaigner wasted a review, he had to know he missed that ball by plenty.

The leadership of Aussie cricket is clearly not in a good place.

 

[raptalia]

Only Labuschagne and Head have faced more deliveries than Nathan Lyon in the second innings.

 

[snozulu]

These Australian players are a disgrace
