It is strange though , many of the Sheffield Shield players were commenting on how the new curator (the ex WACA curator ) was leaving anywhere between 5-15 mm of grass on the pitch and the ABC stats guy had said averages since 2017/18 had dropped 10 runs per innings per batsmen in Shield cricket
 
First time during this series I have gotten to sit down and watch it on tv. The commentary really sucks. No better than Channel 9 the last couple of years. What is it with players of the last couple era’s carrying themselves like a boys club. Never happen with Richie.

Commentary is not particularly good and every time Warne comments it gets worse.Sure he was a great cricketer but he is a fail in everything else in life its all about him

Another terrible pitch in melbourne,why bother having a test there if you cant make it an even contest between bat and ball.
Looks like a very boring draw with few wickets taken

I’d be waiting till both sides bat before blaming the pitch. If the Aussies were 2-215, I reckon there’d be no talk of the pitch, it would be all about how well the Aussies batted. If India get 400+, that’s scoreboard pressure. And the Aussie batting is brittle enough.

It would probably say more about our batting issues than the wicket. It's a shocker. Even Mitch could make runs out there. Survive the new ball and it's cash in time.

Didn't realize that Moses was a good cricketer Yoss :wink:

Ideally a good Test pitch should give you 250-275 runs a day and 8 wickets.

That pitch in Perth was perfect. Not because we won but because it offered something. Adelaide obviously wasn't as bowler friendly but it wasn't horrible either. Saw all 40 wickets fall and averaged around 260 runs an innings.

Would it be safe to say that with our current line up , we'd struggle to beat any other major Test cricketing nation at the MCG

Even he'd make runs or blow up at his teammates if he didn't

Need new sandpaper

Send 'em down a few sheets of the coarsest stuff you've got in your workbag mate :wink: Or rub the ball over Davey Warner's face a few times, that'll scuff the cherry up a treat!

Warners face could polish concrete !

When are the Bosch brothers due back ?
 
I’d love to know how many catches have been dropped off Lyon’s bowling over the years. He seems to continually get let down by his fielders.

How much has Siddle earnt to be on the field for 6 balls and drop a catch that would be taken by your drunk uncle on Christmas Day?

Why don't we just make Maxwell our 12th man

Siddle …....................rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Yeah I get BBL is on but surely our 12th man shouldn't qualify for a Seniors Card.
