Cricket Season Thread

that's for the heads up.. i forgot about the Test starting already.
So if the Aussies win this series ,do we become the N01 ranked Test team?
 
No, India are playing Sri Lanka at the moment, and at the end of both series if India and Aus have both won, India stays on top.

How nice is it having a keeper who hangs on to chances and isn't dwarfed by a garden gnome?

The amount of catches Wade has missed because he is just too short is staggering.
It happens every game he plays in.

The amount of catches Wade has missed because he can't catch is staggering as well, and it happens in every game.

That too.
I'd have Nevill, Paine, Dunk and probably even Handscomb in front of Wade.

I think Nevill needs to be the keeper in all formats.
 
Couldn't care less who the ADD cricket keeper is because it's a Mickey Mouse format anyway.

Nevill should certainly be there in ODI and Test cricket, he's the best gloveman in the country.

Usie is certainly the best Australian batsmen ATM, he should be one of the 1st picked, for any format 20/20, 1 day or test.

Yep. Over the summer Warner, Smith and Khawaja have all been in good form.
Well done Khawaja. Hopefully his run of form continues and he settles in at first drop in all forms of the game.

Burns and Warner up until yesterday have been very solid as openers. The middle order has been ok. However the batting line up now looks so much better with Khawaja at 3 with the foam that he is in.

Burns, Warner, Khawaja, Smith and Voges looks to be strong batting line up.
Then comes in Mitchell Marsh (all rounder) then the wicketkeeper and bowlers.
 
IMHO, there are still a few question marks, 2nd opener and all-rounder:
1 Warner
2 Burns/S Marsh/Cowan
3 Khawaya
4 Smith
5 Voges
6 M Marsh/Faulkner
7 Nevill
8 Siddle
9 Hazlewood
10 Lyon
11 Starc

Cummings, Patterson, Bird
 
Really disappointing decision from Smith to decide to take the extra 4 overs after lunch to try and win the Test

Burns has battled some really good short pitched bowling and then Smith ask him to hit out to try and knock 32 off in a few overs

Selfish decision in my opinion by Smith
 
Lil Davey Warner has come out in the press today and whinged that the Kiwi supporters in the crowd took their sledging a bit too far. Suck it up Warner you little flog….if you want to carry on in the manner of an a-wipe on the field cop it on the chin like a man when someone yells abuse.
Can't stand the knob.

Don't know if I would call what he said "whinging".
 
Call it having a sook then.
He is always at the forefront of any sledging etc that the Aussies are renowned for and then isn't shy in coming out and describing supporters' actions as over the top.
Surely he isn't that dumb to not realize the more you dish it out,the more you are gonna cop in return. If he can't handle copping a gobful then it may be suggested to him that he shut his pie hole when it comes to sledging/abuse on the field. That would pretty much solve his problems.
 
I'd be sulking too if someone held up a sign saying I liked Nickelback… That's lower than having a shot at my missus or kids.

That's worse than the Underarm ball. Calling someone a Nickleback lover can do permanent sociological damage. That's one of the lowest sledges I've ever heard.
 
I'm gonna stick my hand up here and get shot down for it.
But I don't mind Nickelback.
You just gotta steer clear of the songs that get overplayed to death on the radio.

You learn something new every day
