Surely some of our batsman are on their last chance in 4th test.

We keep saying that but they survive.
Let’s hope they serve up a Xmas miracle and all perform. 🤞🤞🤞🙏🙏🙏

Harder to get dropped than to get picked, well maybe not for McS.
Here we are asking when some are on their last chance 4 tests into a 5 test series, when most cricket fans could see we needed change from the start. I reckon Ronald and Bails have been our biggest weakness. The picking of a mid order bat who had little shield form till this year to open against the number one bowler and second best team on the planet, and then completely drop him for the bloke they should have picked shows me they have little idea on past, current and future form. I have no confidence these guys can see us through this next transition period.
Change at the top and the selection table is required asap.
Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Xmas!!!🎅

Nothing like sending tourists out into the 40’ Ozzy sun and watching them melt.
It won't affect the Indians anywhere near as much as watching the poms turn into lobsters.
Merry Christmas to you BF .Like people like you who actually understand the game . I follow 2 teams Australia for cricket and Wests Tigers for NRL
Australia is usually a winner .Hoping in 2025 the Wests Tigers will also be a winner .Promising signs .
Cant wait till tomorrow .
The rest who think "extra cover " is a 2nd blanket can don their bucket hats and cheer for whatever BBL franchise they fancy LOL

Classic!!!
I find I’m watching more and more t20 but still have no idea about the teams, I just go for the Sydney teams, and a good spectacle.
When it’s close I’m always cheering for a super over, maybe we should start a T1 or T6, as in 6 deliveries.

Maybe not turn to Lobsters but they hate our dry heat, just as much as we hate their wet heat. They’ll melt in our 40’ heat, they’re humans not Ozzys.
I hope we win the toss.

He should bandage both hands and send out anyone else for the toss, anyone but Head obviously. 😁
A nightwatchman for the toss.
I also like T20 but only if it has an "i" on the end of it meaning country vs country .I understand not many options with The BBL dominating the calendar
My absolute favourite viewing was our ODI side winning the World Cup for a 6th time just over a year ago . The way we beat South Africa in the Semi and India in the final was sensational

I was sick with cancer and chemo and shite, and got to watch every single game of that World Cup, it was one of the few perks of being sick, no work the next day. Same with the T20 World Cup.
Beating India in the final when everything was stacked in their favour on their own dung hill was exceptional.Seeing Modhi and the Indian crowd slowly deflate and slink away was fantastic
