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

[Ephemeral Hope]

**** me dead the short ball has come out. Blunt the ball even more and wear our your fast bowlers while the batsmen either duck with minimal effort or hit it for runs

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

You never know if you don't give them a go

Seeing them in white ball they just don’t pass the eye test

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Australia have traditionally been a team which gets on top early and builds pressure. They haven't been as good when opposition teams turn the tables.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Lyon needs to toss one up above the eyeline

Downhill skiers.

Jaiswal story is something else

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Commentators vomit inducing. Stop pretending everything is ok. Praise the Indian batsmen and start ripping into our boys. Take off the kid gloves. Only us when we earn it

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Based on the first innings, there was bugger-all discrepancy in terms of the two teams and their ability to move it off the pitch. At the tail end of our batting innings, movement seemed to lower and made it a bit easier for Starc/Hazlewood, but that ball was 40+ overs old and the seam had definitely softened throughout the innings, whereas we've got a brand-new ball just ~1hr later and there's two-fifths-of-****-all seam... anyway, maybe it is a skill issue...

The grass on the pitch might not be as alive as yesterday, which would affect the amount of seam movement. Not so much with swing while the ball was new, but perhaps protected it less today and even yesterday at around 25 overs or so the ball started doing less - except teams were five or six down at that stage.

Not that it was doing a lot yesterday, hardly Trent Bridge with the Dukes or anything, but it was doing just enough in the right hands.

 

[Westend]

I would think if India bat through tomorrow (and with tomorrow being a 36 degree day), we are going to see some cracks starting to cause some issues by the time we get back in. Not on the level of the 90s pitches to be sure, but can still see there being enough to cause issues for our blokes.

yeah Im just trying to give us some hope

there is. a chance we can chase this down

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Jaiswal is a beauty to watch.

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

Why is jaiswal doing stuff like this. And our young players are sam konstas

 

[Cleavy]

time to give crazy Marnus a bowl

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Yep we are desperate

 

[Gavin Excell]

Chickens coming home to roost for the failure to invest and blood youth

 

[010203]

Marnus in off the long run.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

That's your nanna bowling on Christmas day length

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

What a joke. Marnus bowling. This really really annoys me. Desperate stuff like sending Josh Bruce

[Fletched]

Shit gets wickets right?

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

What's this shit from Marnus?

 

[TY24]

I can’t say Marnus bowling 135km/h bouncers was something I expected to see today

 

[sosos]

What a joke. Marnus bowling. This really really annoys me. Desperate stuff like sending Josh Bruce into the ruck or Dougal Howard forward

Fev to fullback.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

The good news is that this partnership means anyone with a ticket for tomorrow gets a chance to use it. That wasn't looking certain early today.

 

[Gough]

Here's a stat when you consider how much money is in the IPL only 18% of it is returned to the players, it's around 50% in American sport and 74% in the Premier League. Someone is getting a good drink here.

 

[hawkman]

His bowling looks better than his batting

 

[windyhill]

Hey "labs" make them play at it son.
