Banter The No Dazzlering Big Cricket Thread

Is it going too far to suggest that Webster's selection saved the series for us?

Re Kontos,

He has clearly been selected and instructed to play his style for a reason. And it worked

Rattled India and especially Bumrah at the G, Kohli got sucked in and into his head.

And then although he only made 20 odd today, the game was over for India by the time his wicket.

 

[Bender_]

Get your rupees ready for Policy Bazaar!

 

[Keys]

Surprised they haven’t even had a look at Jadeja to see if he could do anything

And have to question why they picked Washington given he hasn’t bowled at all

 

[Biggie]

Webster has been a great addition to the test team!

 

[UseR2006]

Really like the Webster selection
Has been handy with both the Bat and Ball.
Would stick with him.

Borderline MOTM - 57 and a 30 odd, 2 very good catches and a wicket. Has looked as composed as anyone with the bat

Boland probably gets it with 10 wickets but you’d have to consider Webster

Bumrah POTS by so far it isn’t funny

 

[happy_eagle]

He has admitted that he doesn't like to do the hard work required .

I assume you could produce the quote of him saying this?

Seems like a strange thing for a player to say

If someone is going to argue that Konstas is the reason that Khawaja nicked off the final ball of day 1 then I think it’s only fair to argue that Konstas is also the reason that Bumrah got injured and couldn’t bowl in the second innings.

Fair to say there's a couple of posters in this thread that have not covered themselves in glory the past couple of weeks.

 

[Keys]

Plenty of people, myself included, thought we were cooked after Perth

Credit where it’s due, Cummins lead a fantastic turnaround- 3 wins and dominated the rain impacted draw in Brisbane

Well done

 

[Bender_]

Nice.

GTFO of the country now Kohli you campaigner.

 

[Biggie]

Absolutely wonderful win

Well done lads

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

What a Test debut by Webster.

History will say it was a 3-1 series win by us but it was a hell of a lot closer than that suggests. We probably executed just a little bit better than they did over the course of the series.

 

[Ochre]

Never in doubt

 

[DorothyG]

Webster will hit the winning runs 4/162

Nailed it

 

[THE A5]

suck shit Indians

 

[Keys]

Webster will hit the winning runs 4/162

****ing genius

Nah it was on a podcast I heard a few years ago . Admitted he cost himself by not being committed enough and preferred the freedom of playing IPL and only focusing on the shorter forms that are less demanding

Yeah bumrah

Cummins is close to POTS too
25 wickets and averaging 20 with some crucial knocks

Head and jaswal round out top 4

 

[Keys]

Nice.

GTFO of the country now Kohli you campaigner.

Massive massive dickhead

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Really unlikeable prick, isn’t he.

 

[eaglevision]

Massive massive dickhead

I dislike him immensely but respected him for the cricketer he was.

After hitting Konstas now I think he’s a f**kwit that I have no respect for either way. I certainly wouldn’t have stood up in the members and applauded him off.

 

[Keys]

Konstas only made 22 and got out to a pretty dumb shot, but his aggression at the top of the innings, assisted by some wayward deliveries, took a big chunk out of the total. Got us past a sub 20 score quickly

Had it been 3/20 something instead of 3/58 the chase looks a lot different

 

[Ochre]

Hopefully Bumrah's fit for their tour of England mid year, if he can bowl this well in English conditions it'll be a very fun series to watch.
