4th Test: Australia v India at Gabba Jan 15-19, 2021

[Sphagnum]

Khawaja's problem is he doesn't want to listen to anyone

I bet you he listens to Cat Stevens

 

[saint.nick]

I bet you he listens to Cat Stevens

Also Puff Daddy judging by the way he dressed for those team meetings

 

[Old tiger 79]

Kawaja will never get back into the side for some reason

 

[Old tiger 79]

Hints?

He's being about as subtle as an anchor...

Yeah that not very subtle is it?

 

[Bazal]

Don’t mind him taking his time here tbh

Yeah given the ability he's shown to accelerate I'm pretty happy for him to get in and then go berserk when needed.

Especially given our overall scoring rate is still pretty good and we need to consolidate a bit after the quick wickets

So who comes in for Wade?

Candidates

Head - personally I don’t like going back to him so quickly. His record is solid at test level, but it’s skewed heavily by the Sri Lankan series

Patterson - My preference. Been one of the most consistent performers in shield for past 5 years. Form a little down this year, but only 4 matches.

Henriques - Been in good form. Definite upgrade over Wade, but already quite old


Long shots

Move Green to no.5 and maybe bring in McDermott or Maxwell to play the counter attack role at no.6?

Patterson has been garbage for about three years. Big fan, bigger no from me.

It's Head for mine at this stage unless we wanted to find an opener and play Puck in the middle.

Maxwell still hasn't been given a home test unlike the others listed. He is the most talented of the guys mentioned to play 6. Will do plenty in the field, I don't rate his bowling anymore but still offers something in that department.

I think he has missed a shot. 32 years of age. Would have liked to have seen him given a longer/more consistent run at test level.

We just don't have batsman screaming out to be picked at test level. If we were taking a punt it would be a guy like Patterson I guess.

I was saying to a mate yesterday that McDermott could be a good smokey.

Patterson had his best season ever two summers ago. Scored a truckload of runs.


Head I can’t get behind, plays stupid shots and causes middle order collapses.

 

[Twizzle]

Khawaja's problem is he doesn't want to listen to anyone

you know him do you ?

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Warnie wants McDermott, Craig must have cut him a good real estate deal

 

[Old tiger 79]

His a bit of a dodgy merkin I read old Billy

 

[Twizzle]

its a bit hard not to if you bat in the middle order

I tend to agree though, he just cant leave the ball alone outside off stump, its his scoring zone but he also gets out cutting quiet a lot

 

[JamesRustle]

So who comes in when Wade gets the chop? Going back to Head?

Has Darren Berry got a son?

How do you know if his been garbage brah?

 

[saint.nick]

you know him do you ?

Maybe go back and watch the Amazon documentary again

 

[Old tiger 79]

That’s fox cricket oh yeah
That’s fox cricket
f**k off!!!

where is Eduardo Sanchez?

 

[herbert henry1908]

McDermott would be no6 with Green moving up the order I think.

 

[saint.nick]

Sounds like a jingle for a children's segment
