Banter The No Dazzlering Big Cricket Thread

[Wce17]

Did Hurst come from the European Cricket League?

 

[FKASC]

Was at the game tonight. Hopefully Allen keeps this up because his only second good innings got the year was wasted.

Hardie out for Marsh if Hardie’s not bowling

 

[RookiePick]

So flaccid rn.

We absolutely bottled that.

 

[RookiePick]

Is Turner drunk?

Probably the worst performance I have ever seen from Turner tbh. Just seemed out of it the entire game.

 

[FKASC]

Still can’t get over Tye bowling fast and full, despite Optus having short straight boundaries.

How many slower balls did we bowl all game? Like 2?

 

[eaglevision]

Needed Agar’s bowling in that game. Really need to get an international spinner next year

Also needed his fielding.

 

[DanWCE]

So when's that rain due to arrive in Sydney?

 

[Mulldogg]

There’s that elite seam position from Bumrah again for the Labuschagne dismissal. Going to be a handful on this deck

 

[Mulldogg]

Ordinary dismissal from Konstas there. Lose shot with the ball hooping as JL was in the process of saying on the coverage.

He needs to run at every ball and swing and hope.. anything with a straight bat he looks a walking wicket.

Figures you have a go at the guy who scored 22 and not the guys who were out for 2, 2 and 4.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Looks like a massive f**kin collapse.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

If India were in the position that Australia was in coming into this match and the series were being held in India, they would’ve rolled out a complete road to guarantee a draw to win the trophy.

Whoever won the toss and bat first was always going to win this test unfortunately.

Like clockwork

Pretty confident we're going to win this now

The wicket has been a bowler's dream, with every batsman struggling. One way to combat movement when the bowler is dictating is to play the line, defend and hope the ball misses the edge. Another is to play your shots and get runs before the bowler gets you and try to put the bowler off his line/length.

The way Konstas approached Bumrah was perfect given you have to play at most of his deliveries. He should have been more circumspect with Siraj given he didn’t need to play at as many of his deliveries. He will learn that. Regardless, he scored more than Uzzie, Labs and Head combined so not sure why you are focussing on him.

You're basing this on what?

You never want to chase on this wicket, runs on the board are so valuable.

He's already showed his hand by saying he enjoys watching the Aussies lose.

If we were 1/50 at drinks, Happy Go Lucky Goroyals22 isn't posting.

Uzzie is a pensioner who should have been dropped tests ago.. like Joe biden it’s no longer fun to poke fun at him.

The other two got out to decent balls.

So when India were out for 185 last night, you thought they were certainties to win did you?

 

[Bender_]

Konstas might come off, but from what I’ve seen in two years time he will be a forgotten player by most in terms of a test cricketer.

So why get all fizzed up if it’s an opinion you don’t like.

"From what you've seen" - what player are you comparing him to that this has happened with?

Still waiting on an answer to this.

Nope thought it was a decent score actually and that we would be lucky to equal or surpass it.

Regardless.

I don't think this game was won at the toss like you said.
