1st Test Border Gavaskar Trophy November 22-26 1350hrs @ Perth Stadium

I agree... But we don't do that anymore. Besides Green, tell me how many others we have done that in the last 5 years or so?

I guess Cummins would count when he debuted a few years ago but you are correct. Does Murphy count?

 

[Moonwatcher]

He’ll make it easily these plods will lose before lunch

Cummins isn't strictly needed for the rest of the match.

The alarm bells started last summer. It's now a loud siren.

ok its a very loud siren....

Marnus might want give the lawn a mow after work

I maintain the pitch is a road. Our bowlers couldn’t manufacture anywhere near this much movement new ball old ball anything. They’re just shit and the Indian bowlers are showing the difference

Are you sure you didn’t mean that I say ‘isn’t’ Instead of ‘is’?
That means the pitch isn’t a road

That’s literally the definition of a pitch that isn’t a road.

A road is a pitch that no one can get anything out of.

For those already writing him off in what admittedly is an absolute debacle for Australian cricket, McSweeney could hardly have had two more difficult situations to bat and two more wicked balls to be dismissed by. I’m not losing faith in him as a test batsmen or opener on the basis of this one match.

 

[MJG14]

Damn he's already beaten his first innings score.

 

[The King!]

India might win tonight

Hope Bumrah uproots Labuschanges middle stump.

Sweeney is our next captain nothing has changed my view on that

 

[DapperDon]

It's gonna be great when the selectors make zero changes this entire summer

 

[Pure_Ownage]

A non opener failing as an opener who would have thought? Hey can we get a petition to sack George Bailey going. Absolute moron.

The only thing i will say about mcsweeney is that he fell for the exact same setup in the second innings as he did in the first.
First few out wide, followed by the one that came back in.

He averages just 37 in first class cricket, nit expecting much to be honest.

If he is our next captain we are stuffed for the next 5 years so hopefully not.

 

[chickenonachain]

And still extras is our highest scorer

Whoops! Yep. We made it look like one

 

[Chuckie357]

In the days of catching boats home wouldn't they leave matches when still behind?

Called a draw

Give him the rest of the series and SL series. There’s really no one better unless we are dropping Lab/Marsh and playing Lonstas up there. Fair dinkum annoying we had Bancroft averaging near 100 last year and can’t buy a run this year.

 

[Cataholic]

Hypothetical:

Uzzi, Marnus, Smith & Head are all injured for the next Test.

Who do we play in their place?

 

[Carbine Chaos]

'It was a brave effort by the captain.'

What lasting all of 10 balls and throwing his hands at one in the corridor?

Why are so many people determined to not call this team out?

 

[Lunchtime]

Did I mention a country in my post?

I'll ask you again:

Would you be saying this if Australia was in India's position?

 

[Xtreme]

GONE
