What the hell are ya doing on that out-house?
Normally I love ya work, but you have just tainted your reputation by using that resource for information.

Sorry champion @Buttface, I just liked the concept of what was set out, but I didn't pick up the anomaly of the Pommy mistake.

(Actually, I research so many sites looking for info/quirky stuff that sometimes something might slip through - but the fun of discovery is worth the cost!)
 
2 of our big 3 out !
Months to prepare for this super important series and lose 2
Makes me wonder about fitness prep etc
Lot of pressure on Starc
Lyon is getting old
So much depends on Boland and Doggett
Last Ashes here Cummins and Hazelwood missed the pink ball Adelaide test
Attack was Starc ,Richardson, Neser , Green Lyon
We won easy but Starc is a pink ball specialist

It’s just a chance for the young bloke (31) Doggett take and make his own.
Go Doggs!!!
I’ve never said that before, hopefully I do all summer.
 
SA do the unthinkable and beat India IN India for the first time in 15 years!
Absolutely incredible victory for the WORLD TEST CHAMPIONS!

And made possible by the captain:
Captain’s knock
✔️
Match-sealing catch
✔️
Temba Bavuma’s day
👏


Temba Bavuma's 55* in South Africa's second innings in Kolkata is only the second-lowest 'highest individual score' for a completed Test match in India

That was after this

Did you watch any?
@Stevec

The pitch turned and that 55 was like 105.

That WA v Tas game was the game of the season so far.
I know I made a mistake there and it was WA v Toads but I thought I’d leave it bcoz as we all know every is in Queensland.
Good game though.
 
Friday for the big game and Saturday next round of shield, it will be interesting to see the final make up of all those teams.
The Vics are 4/4 and play toads who are equal second with everyone else, but are ahead due to having drawn an extra game. So top of the table clash of sorts.
 
How is Jhye Richardson going these days? Is he fit and in form? Hed be an asset in his home ground at his best.

Hazelwood is a big loss but replacing him with Boland, we lose nothing.

Starc played a few odi and t20 too I think. His work rate would need to be managed

Busted. Can't seem to stay on the field for longer than a couple of games at a time.

Boland has replaced Cummins and Doggett will likely replace Hazlewood. Losing one is ok. Losing both levels the playing field a bit imo

I don’t reckon I’m picking Weatherald to open for this test, if I had to pick an opener out of shield right now to bet money on it’d be Renshaw.
Is he even in the squad?
