[hineyrulz]

Ngidi should bat at 7.

Bat at 3 in this line up.

We're staring down the barrel of a two day test match here

It will only be the 2nd test match in Australia that has been completed within two days (last time was in 1931 at the MCG):

[This Year?]

Maybe someone should throw a flare onto the ground to prolong the game.

Too soon?

 

[2 weeks]

South Africa are possibly balder lesbians than the Windies

Davey to now peel off a career defining 20 n.o.

 

[Bazal]

Bring back Neil MacKenzie FFS!! At least his smoking hot Missus!!

That weird merkin looks like Graeme Smith compared to Cyril Earwig

With all this crap being discussed about the Gabba pitch, what are the odds a flat track will be dished up by the MCG curators on Boxing Day?

Isn't MCG sitting on 2 strikes for shit pitches? I don't think they can afford to dish up another shit pitch... plus the local Victorians might flare up if they are unhappy.

 

[Meth]

worst possible result for David Warner

Why sprint off like that? All they are doing is elevating their heart rate unnecessarily and elevated heart rate means reduced hand eye coordination. It really irritates me like when NRL Players sprint off at half time. Your energy is limited and you should be more efficient about when you use it.

I don't think it matters. I can't see the saffer top 6 scoring 400+ on even the flattest of roads

No chance,

He will get a pair, or a cheap 5 or 6

Tell me you've never played cricket, with out telling me you've never played cricket.

It's going to be a short game, but i would much rather watch this than a Test where it s 700 plays 650 in the first innings

Things might be weighted in the bowlers favour but this is pretty exciting

This x 1000

There is nothing more boring than a test match which is destined for a high-scoring draw right from day 1, and the bowlers are just there to make up the numbers

M9 this bloke used to score hundreds both days in Sutherland grade cricket as a teenager...or wait, was that BBSF? They're practically the same bloke I get them confused

 

[simmo1]

It's a shit pitch, and South Africa's batting is also shit. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Two day test is no good. What am I meant to do tomorrow? Spend time with the family?!

Maybe he needs to take a dump?

not for iron man Warner.

 

[Incorrect]

Did I hear right earlier, that Aus and SA are ranked 1 & 2 in the Test rankings?? Geez ICC rankings are weird. Surely India, NZ and England are better than at least one of these 2 teams on current form...

 

[Hutty1986]

No pair for Davey! *wails in JJ*
