Banter The No Dazzlering Big Cricket Thread

Jeez why didn't India enforce that obstruction appeal? That's out every day of the week.

The state of our batting.

With very little in the Shield to have much confidence in also.

Usman should cop some heat. Hung McSweeney out to dry imo.

Smith is finished.

Our whole setup needs reviewing. More red ball domestic cricket for our ivory tower dwelling, willow wielding spuds.

What did Uzzie do?

Singling anyindividual batter out when only one of them has passed 15 is wild.

Go back to the 90s and 00s when even the second Australian XI are good enough to beat most teams at that time. Matthew Wade would've never gotten past district level let alone make it to TAS or VIC teams let alone the Australian team. Heck Bancroft and Harris wouldn't been good enough to make it to Shield level let alone the Australian team, that tells you all the direness of Australian batsmen at Shield level when guys like them are in Shield level as no one at the moment is banging down the door, not even McSweeney is banging down the door too.

Can’t think of many players with less reason to boo Simpson than Gaff

By taking singles? McSweeneys an opener, not an 11.

This.

You don't protect your opening partner by knocking back singles. This is Test cricket FFS.

If there was a batter that sold his partners down the river it was Labuschagne- total inability to rotate the strike and keep the scoreboard ticking over to put pressure back on the bowlers

Was at Optus today and the crowd definitely were giving it to him in terms of Bronx cheers. I thought Jack Darling was on strike at stages…

In all seriousness though your post is spot on. All he was looking to do was leave the ball and occupy the crease. Didn’t even want to look to score freely or at a minimum just get off strike. Of course he torched a review too. Smith and him just never think they’re out even though both were absolutely plumb today.

Smith and Labuschange have been doing this for the past few years.

Chewing up balls without moving the score along, which just adds more and more pressure to whoever is batting with them.
