Lol, Maxwell looking for a return to the test team for the SL tour.

Wouldn't feed the alco derro bludger.

 

[mozza91]

Our customary collapse has at least made the game interesting.

 

[yobbo84]

A run out when you need 20 runs from 20 overs.... lol

 

[mozza91]

We’re playing like Pakistan. Check Abbott’s bank account.

It just doesn’t feel right unless the first ball of the summer is at the Brisbane test

This.

Furthermore, I'd like to add: After so many years of Brisbane hosting the first test match of the summer, all of a sudden it's now deemed not just no longer suitable to host the first test of the summer, but no longer suitable to host a test match altogether (CA have not scheduled any tests at the Gabba beyond the 2025/26 Ashes).

 

[undertaker]

It's like CA are throwing away the advantage the Aussie team once had (both tests that they lost at the Gabba in recent years - 2021 and 2024 - were held in mid-late January, rather than November)

Just putting the pressure on the government to refurb or knock down the Gabba.

Paddy saved our blushes tonight. Great innings under pressure. Crazy we nearly stuffed it up though.

Halfway through Day Two because Brisbane always f**king rains

Is Pat Cummins one the most clutch batsman you have seen that isn't a top-order batsman.

List of games he has been out there when the game was on the line and got us over the line with the bat

2 - Ashes Test at Edgbaston 2023 - 44 not out - came in at number 9 with 73 runs still required
3 - Christchurch Test this year with Carey - 32 not out - came in at number 9 with 59 runs still required

ODIs
1 - Afghanistan World Cup 2023 - 12 not out - came in at number 9 with 201 runs still required and blocked up at an end for Maxwell to go berserk
2 - World Cup Semi Final against South Africa - 14 not out - came in at number 9 with 20 runs still required
3 - Last Night - 32 not out - came in at number 9 with 49 runs still required.

that was closer than it should have been, we do like a good middle order collapse
