Hayden "The ball is starting to talk".

If only Hayden would stop talking and let the ball talk.

 

[new breed]

Targeting McSweeney the Indian bowlers and Kohli , comes through this he could make it , if not cactus .

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I'd like to see Marnus time one shot

Gotta start somewhere

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Smash this lippy flog out of the attack pls.

 

[Gavin Excell]

He tried it against the crap sides and failed so he went back to 4 against the best side lol

Steve Waugh level selfishness

 

[JimmyBC]

I can’t believe I’m saying this but Hayden is right - both these blokes have been squared up to often

McSweeney looks a bit wooden at the crease

 

[Harris Specter]

Here we go, Bumrah v Marnus

 

[MJG14]

Hayden actually providing some analysis talking about the openers being squared up.

THE BIG DOS would have CHARGED these blokes down the wicket.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Smash this lippy flog out of the attack pls.

He does have a bit to say does pretty boy Rana

The more I see him, the more I'm convinced he's not a test opener.

He could still be a test cricketer though. We need to get him down to 4 or 5 before we ruin him playing him out of position. It's a very defined technique that you need to open the batting at international level, and it's not the technique that McSweeney has.

Which isn't a criticism of McSweeney. It's more a criticism of the selectors for doggedly picking him out of position. I still think if you're picking 6 batsmen and just finding your best 2 openers, Head has a technique that is far more conducive to opening the batting.

It’s certainly on out there now, I’m a bit concerned our blokes might get sucked in by the adrenaline

 

[Neese]

Ooh getting feisty

 

[StillAtLarge]

Big ton coming up for Marnus. You heard it here first

 

[TY24]

Marn doing Marn stuff. These are good signs.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Labs is back with the over the top “wait ons”… he’ll score 200 here

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I can’t believe I’m saying this but Hayden is right - both these blokes have been squared up to often

They are sort of getting into “no man’s land”, not going forward or back and therefore have a half step to the ball. Half the thing you are taught is either going forward or back this in between is getting them in trouble

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Marnus has come out very intense. Not sure if it’s a good or bad thing lol

 

[TY24]

Big ton coming up for Marnus. You heard it here first

Nothing has made me more confident than that big NO RUN. He’s back baby.

 

[Young Redleg]

Watching Marnus bat is the definition of self-inflicted pain

 

[Gavin Excell]

Very tense

 

[celestial]

Shut up marnus

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Go the byes!

They will Be up for MOtM

 

[imagifED]

I still believe in Marnus and think he is arguably our most important batsman.

 

[chriso11]

He needs to calm down… no composure

 

[western royboy]

Marn doing Marn stuff. These are good signs.

Playing and missing?
