1st Test: Australia v India at Adelaide Dec 17-21 2020

[JJ]

He was WA coach at the time and he white anted Renshaw openly and publicly through the media. Eventually Renshaw fell apart under the criticism and pressure that JL had manufactured, after Renshaw looked like he'd broken out. Bancroft got picked instead....aaaaaand the rest is history.

Pretty shit

Really liked what I saw of Renshaw

 

[Bazal]

He was a pretty average and negative captain up until 89, then he turned into a decent tactition but still fairly defensive. He was a much better ODI skipper.

It was fitting that it took for Taylor to take over before we could finally topple the Windies. He was a great leader who dug us out of the shit but Taylor than Waugh were the superior skippers.

Yeah Taylor and Tugga were the two greats for me.

Obviously there's a lot to be said for what AB did with a biog average squad in a dire place...but for me the way he did it wasn't the mark of a great leader. Telling Dean Jones that he'd get someone tougher when Deano was literally almost dying and was so wounded by the end of it that he never truly recovered....not great.

Odd because I've met him two, maybe three times now and he's the nicest man...must have got all the aggro of ten lifetimes out as captain. Although the old AB came out a bit when he suggested Renshaw should have shit himself and batted with full daks, as though that would be better somehow. Haha

I've met AB as well, an absolute gentleman and humble fella.



Saha the gun keeper drops another lol.

 

[mave]

Old mate would never have dropped that if we had done the right thing and declared 20 minutes ago.

 

[undertaker]

I'd have him opening ahead of that midget Tassiederp midget Wade.


The critics of his batting were way over the top from day 1, and to get replaced by a bloke like Plodcroft with a technique that a 6 year old would lol at.

Well, the Aussie selectors have thrown up a lot of curve balls over the years.

One of the most baffling is Sam Heazlett making his ODI debut in New Zealand, despite never playing any 50 over matches at state level.

So did anyone with a clue, but not Langer, the selectors and the powers at be. He is now batting @ 5 for QLD. Good news he got a 100 last game.

 

[Bazal]

Yeah look tbh he's made a damned good effort just to get to that....would have been a ridiculous grab, swirling around up there while he has to run full tilt to even get in position

 

[8Ball]

Is that 6 dropped catches

He was a Greg Chappell selection because he liked the look of him. He did him no favours because he was nowhere near ready. Struggles to make the QLD side these days.

 

[Bazal]

I just thought, if you ever wanted proof that international players don't actually use the bat the stickers say they use, look no further than this pair who despite using modern day Kookas have faced 80-dd balls between them and not even broken one yet...

 

[hineyrulz]

There was never two there, Paine again FFS!!

 

[undertaker]

getting run out is committing the unpardonable sin in test match cricket. Completely unnecessary.

 

[Bazal]

Not sure you can blame Paine for that one Junior....always calling two to make sure you look for it, but he definitely never wanted the second. Starc just came...

How about the time everyone got up him coz he didn't wanna shit in his pants at the crease.

Poor bastard has copped it.

Edit: missed Baz's comment

 

[Hutty1986]

LOL our enthusiastic reserve grader captain strikes again!

Well our top order all shit their pants at the crease today.

 

[Eelectrica]

If we can bowl India out for 10, we'll be right back in it. Well a chance at least.

 

[Fufu Andronez]

Is Pritvhi Shaw 45?

 

[mozza91]

Warne or Fleming and Slater?
The mute button it is.
