Unlucky deathriders

Looks like no declaration tonight. Rain forecast for Saturday and Sunday…

You were saying …...... :laughing:

The bloke spruiking a player not playing is mocking me for my speculation…

I'm not mocking you Yoss …..... was just thinking that's the sort of prediction I'd make ........ and have it fall flat on its face

Much like I was spruiking WHU's easy run .......and then we get thrashed next game by a team we should have lapped

All good Happy. We could both stop a train.

A highway becomes a hornets nest just like that

Our bowlers are heavily over rated as bowlers , can bat though

We might be following on. Time to work on the rain dance.

Colour me surprised another negative post about the Aussie Cricket Team..that 2nd test win must have cut deep..

Is it still being negative if you turn out to be right? 🤷‍♂️

This is not even funny! How can we not find 6 batsmen collectively capable of scoring 100 runs. T20 is ruining cricket. Most of our young batsmen have poor technique and no grit.

T20 is all about about money for the TV channel covering it and nothing to do with batting technique. Someone recently told me that a T10 competition for first class cricketers is on the board to start shortly is Australia.

Joe Burns, Maxwell and even Bancroft for Sydney test consideration. Finch must go. Harris worth persisting with. Marsh brothers- out!

Idk how people didn’t see this coming. All the talk about the pitch. Yeah, nah.

 

[happy_tiger]

Good news lads , all the nightwatchmen are out , top order finally in

 

[Tigerstruck]

At least Mitch Marsh did us all a favour and didn't score again.

Glenn McGrath with the captain obvious observation of the day, claiming the Aussies need a partnership here. Not sure if it beats Ponting’s answer yesterday to a question of should the Aussies try and get in Kohli’s face, to which he replied “ well it can go one of two ways. Either it can fire him up and motivate him, or it can rattle him and it can get him out”, but it was pretty close. This is why they are getting the big bucks.

Just checked the scores… Aussies 6 for 120 odd, needing another 120 to avoid the follow-on.

Might check again next test, that's pretty poor.

Bowlers aren't really overrated just as a group they have lost the ability to swing the ball. As stuart board said during the poms tour here they started reversing it after 17 overs in one test…

Burns
Smith
Head
Bancroft

Not sure why India are batting with rain around the next 2 days. Could have easily had the Aussies 2 or 3 down again at stumps.
