Banter The No Dazzlering Big Cricket Thread

[Seadog]

Cummins is the only bowler I'd say was poor yesterday. Edit: Marsh was poor.

The others were largely sound and Hazlewood was excellent. Was fantastic batting, a flattening pitch, and tbh a real lack of intensity from the Aussies. Which I thought was bizarre, it's the first Test of the summer FFS.

And there's no chance Marnus was bowling 130s, what the heck.

Ronald McDonald gives players ownership of there preparation, working a treat........ apparently.

Why is Adam Zampa playing Shield ahead of Tanveer Sangha?

Hopefully he's just unavailable, Tanveer's development is a much higher priority.

Because Zampa wants to play test cricket in Sri Lanka.

 

[Tugga27]

They also rolled India for 36 in the last series only to get poorer as the series went on.

India don't fear those 4 bowlers, they've dominated them the last 2 series in Aus and this one is shaping up the same.

Not sure if it's Boland but the fast bowling cartel definitely needs a shake up

Cummins and Hazlewood both ranked in the top 4 test bowlers.
Lyon and Starc in the top 10 also.

I still think there's bigger problems with the batting.

Because Zampa wants to play test cricket in Sri Lanka.

He's nearly 33 with a FC bowling average of 47.

It's a no from me, dawg.

 

[Tugga27]

Vaughn I think it is saying much the same in commentary at the moment.

At least Vaughan will call it.

Huss and Gilly are just fence sitters.
Especially Huss.

Me too.

Just telling you why he's playing.

 

[Farang83150]

Really interesting the camera (flying fox) explanation going on at the moment

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Me too.

Just telling you why he's playing.

So because a senior player wants to do something he's proven incapable of doing, they've dropped a developing player with a far superior record? Cool and normal.

Not agreeing with it.

Not having a dip at you, I just think it's ridiculous.

Zampa set for rare chance to push red-ball credentials

Matt Short is in the Victoria squad and Spencer Johnson included for South Australia

Hazelwood deserved that.

 

[Farang83150]

Nice start to the session!

 

[Farang83150]

3rd ump should've been given that 1st angle shown on the catch replay

 

[Farang83150]

I made a comment re AB's voice and him slurring the other day, found out on here he's got Parkinson's, amazing how different he sounds today.
Don't know FA about the disease but it must be very frustrating for him.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

After having no ball issues yesterday, Marsh sets the tone for himself by bowling one first ball of his spell.

Do better.

 

[Farang83150]

F1 about to start

 

[DanWCE]

Fox Halo offers nothing, despite them shoving it down my throat repeatedly.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Shit gets wickets.

What a knock.

 

[Astro7]

Fair to say Smith has redeemed his duck...

 

[Carbine Chaos]

5th no ball for a bloke bowling low to mid 120s.

 

[Ochre]

India annihilating us and we don't even get some Rishabh fun as a compromise. Darkest timeline

 

[Carbine Chaos]

The rural Jurel looks plumb.

 

[Wce17]

Get Jhye into the test team. 2 wickets already & on a hatty. Surely we can’t get 3 hattys in 3 games

 

[ioppolo]

He's apparently dislocated a shoulder high giving a team mate now.

Just bin him already.
