Cricket Thread: Aus vs Bangladesh test series... just 4 months away

[Cromulant]

Not a great leave.

 

[Cromulant]

As predicted

 

[Vader]

Marsh doing his absolute best to reclaim his WOAT title.

It's a ridiculous indictment on the lack of selection integrity that Marsh is still playing.

Fantastic guy, let him stay as white ball captain, and get him the hell out of this side.

Those three horrendous dismissals have thrown away everything else achieved on day one.

Bloke before him leaving one on off peg didn't help either, but you're right.

 

[Vader]

When was the last time our top-4 batsmen all scored 50+?

There have been a lot of recent matches where none of them have scored 50+, so it's nice to see the trend reversed today. Pity none of the top-3 went on with it (Smith still batting).

 

[Vader]

Carey only the 2nd batsman to be out to a good ball today (Konstas the other). Lab, Head, Khawaja & Marsh all out to mishits (Khawaja & Lab), stupidity (Marsh), or failed judgement (Head) - but nothing about their wicket deliveries was in any way threatening.

Carey at least got out to a genuinely good delivery, not doing something stupid.

There has certainly been variable bounce. I think that played a part in Head's demise, as well as Carey. Even Marsh's stupidity was brought on by frustration with variable bounce.

The ball to Head was a good one. It was just a textbook demonstration of how not to play it.

Marsh wasn't out there long enough to get frustrated. He's just hell bent on regaining his WOAT title, before the selectors pull the plug on his Test Match career (again).

I appreciate your point about Marsh, but you've repeated your WOAT phrase a LOT in this thread. We get it.

It's fairly tedious and nauseating really

 

[FR0GGY]

I’m sure someone I was listening to the other day described Konstas as someone with not much flair?
Was it Vaughn?

Vader?

He's usually a good judge of young talent.

Surely they were referring to McSweeney not Konstas

 

[FR0GGY]

Nah they were talking about players who could come in. McSweeny was already in the side.
They may have been confused.

 

[spenze]

Would have been good if Konstas sat Kohli on his arse, or better if Uzzie would have clipped him with a right hook. The papers in India would have been a good read

Kid Konstas KO’s King Kohli

They would have packed up gone home, they run cricket have all the power

100% would be worth it.

It's a problem with society at the moment that the line of FAFO has been moved way far away from where it should be.

 

[Gtowncrow]

Koli shoulder bump on Konstas. Welcome to the big time Sam.

Nah...
Poor form from a legend of the game. Has embarrassed himself. Should be fined.

It's not part of the game.

Should have copped more than a slap on the wrist

 

[adelaidecrows]

Heard on the grape vine Rory Laird and the Crows leadership group have rung CA demanding Konstas get a one game suspension for his disrespectful attitude towards the indian team.
