Ken 119 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 The wicket had a green tinge to it and the ball swung a mile and nipped off the seam as well. Cummins and Hazlewood were bowling unplayable deliveries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinRobin 11291 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Just being courteous on Friday, cos of Oz Day, giving up 5 wickets to make it more interesting. Oz still nearly blew it then, and did yesterday, when we played our third team bowlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21960 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 We should just do play the ODI side in tests. Could they do any worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1245 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I see Wood was saying the other day that he doesn't know whether his body can stand up to test cricket. It'd be a shame if he can't manage it because he really does give us something different. Curran was excellent yesterday btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give Bell credit for sticking with it when he really was in no condition to continue at the end. But I'm yet to see him do anything in any form of the game to suggest he's up to international cricket. Mind you I had very similar thoughts about Woakes a few year ago.

Your ODI team is good, but ours atm is shite. Not the correct balance in the team and the test players backing up for the ODI's were clearly jaded with the exception of Cummins and Hazelwood. The small crowds (except in Perth because it was the opening of a new stadia and half of them left at the break) were a reflection of how the general punter felt about the ODI series.

Test match cricket attendances were high. ODI attendances were low from the first match. That is the first match. Wasn't even half full at the MCG. Goes to show how people feel about the ODI format.

Ken 119 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Billy Stanlake is a name to remember and a player to watch in this T20 series against your lot and of course the future. 205cm tall, taller than Bruce Reid, and capable of bowling over 150km/h he would be a nightmare in the long form let alone short spells in T20. Hope his body can hold up; http://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket/t20-triseries-chris-lynn-and-glenn-maxwell-make-easy-work-of-new-zealand-after-superb-billy-stanlake-spell-20180203-h0t7bj.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
