That’s why we can’t have mass retirements like we did when our best ever team finished up. Apparently Warner and Khawaja have some sort of pact to stagger theirs.

Saw Ausman debut for Randwick/Petersham in first grade at Coogee oval. He debut along side of a fellow forum contributor

I’m guessing that was supposed to read you saw Usman debut? Pretty kool, How’d he go?
And maybe the fellow forumer how’d he go?

I was at SCG the day Lillee and Rod Marsh retired on same day . Think Greg Chappell also same day .Took a few years to recover.
Also McGrath and Warne together Thats almost 13 hundred wickets gone .

Sorry about my spelling, yep they both went alright, they were about 18 at the time. Of course we all know how Usman kicked on, our fellow poster,played 1st grade for about three years, bowling offspin and big hitting lower order bat..scored a few big centuries but decided to retire and go into coaching

 

[eyewondertoo]

no mean feat to play sydney first grade cricket-

that fellow forumer would know a lot more about cricket than the average punter

and to score a few big centuries batting 7 0r 8 would be something to treasure too, supercoach

We won the toss but put England in to bat,if we don't bowl England out or at least 8-9 down today there will be massive criticism from former captains and the press,Very risky imho

What happened to, “when you win the toss 9 out 10 times you bat first, and on the tenth time, you think about bowling, and still bat first”?

Over 5 runs per over early - Bazball continues!

We’ve obviously got them running scared !🤣

No Lillee/Thommo is there .....??

 

[Buttface]

Same as me except 2 differences
I want to give a guy ( Warner who's served us well for years ) one last shot so he can go out in style . Then for home tests he is just not picked . Harris averages 26 in tests
Other difference while I agree Cummings is a better bowler than Hazelwood I think Pats head is frazzelled at the moment . Give him a break

Looks like neither of us were correct on Nesser?

That’s for bloody sure.

The bit where I doubled down explains it.
They are not flat track bullies because they do well in Australia.

So you’re hacking on him for his expression of speech? Yeah good one.

Sad days for Oz cricket.
I saw the Waugh brothers score 200 at the SCG, came out to bat at 3/50ish. We sat at fine leg and yelled “Got a wicket yet Goughy” all day, late in the arvo Gough got a hat-trick if memory serves me well.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Based on current indications we will be out of this game by lunchtime on the first day.
Bazball looks pretty effective to me !

 

[Buttface]

We needed that one.
And that one

 

[Halbrowne61]

Obviously my earlier remarks had the desired effect 🤣🤣🤣

How many times are you going to ask me to explain a simple comment?
Have you got anyone at home with you? Ask them. They’re probably more on your wave length.
