1st Test: Australia v India @ Optus Stadium, PERTH Nov 22-26, 2024

Henry Hunt currently 45 not in the day/night shield game. He actually values his wicket and knows where his off stump is.

Labuschagne's test batting average now dropped to 48.45

Well that's probably two of the worst days of Cricket I've ever been to.

 

[Fangs]

There's Renshaw and Webster for starters. And anyway, sometimes dropping someone isn't about getting a better player in...an actual wheelie bin wouldn't torch two reviews being selfish as f**k, for example.

He needs a rocket

Renners won't come in as an opener after one test.

Webster is definately a chance. The bowlers have already pulled a big innings and we have 4 tests to go. They'll get a rest sure but Green balances the side nicely as Marsh can't do a lot of bowling.

ROFL!

That bold statement from Ronald McDonald didn't age well. Got egg on his face now!

To be fair in the first inning he hung around barely troubling the scorers. In the second he came and went very quickly. It was a different Marnus.

IPL auction on Tonight. Please don't tell me this is the reason we're playing like nangers.

You don't mind sharing approx. how much you forked out in total across the two days?

 

[undertaker]

Bring back Warner.

Bumrah et al. would tear Warner a new one if he was out there.

 

[undertaker]

How many out by stumps? I'll say 2.

make that...3

 

[undertaker]

4 byes? I'll take it.

At the rate things are going, extra/sundries may end up being the highest scorer in Australia's 2nd innings

 

[undertaker]

Marnus looks like he wants to be anywhere but Perth right now.

suth efrika?

Been a WACA member since 2006 so didn't book standard tickets.

Probably forked out too much on beers today though.

This has been the worst performance from an Aussie side at home I’ve ever seen. The bowlers did the job on day 1 and were back out there after lunch on day two. The batting was diabolical, the only two that showed any common sense was Starc and Haze. The insipid tactics, sloppy and lazy fielding and the fish eyed Mong behind the stumps and now 3 wickets down after letting them score 500.

Marnus’s head is so far up his own arse he is gobbling his tonsils, he is a decent player who hit a purple patch off the most luck I have ever seen for a batsman. He struts around like he’s prime Ricky Ponting, the bald straight breaker thinks he’s a finger spinning version of Shane Warne and our number 6 is a walk up start with an average of 30. Utterly useless embarrassing, the people in charge have no clue, no love for the game they view it a product and it shows. I preferred watching the rag tag bunch of plodders in the 80’s at least they had a crack and didn’t think the world owed them everything.

Put the merkin in for the second test ffs!!

 

[TheParraboy]

I'll see how we go next couple of tests, think we can come back

We end up winning the series then this test is a hiccup, a bad one at that

Send the same merkins in for the D/N test next, dont blood a newbie here..

And keep them out of the media ffs, Marnus in particular

However, if we lose the D/N test in Adelaide (I dont think we have ever lost a d/n test) then we pull the trigger on a couple of under performing players for the Gabba test

And guess what the BBL starts in 3 weeks and CA will think everything is good again.

Its an farce that there will be no FC cricket after next week until February.

Never lost a D/N test in Adelaide.

I am pretty sure the Windies loss at the Gabba was D/N last year was our only pink ball defeat.

Never played a guy like Bumrah in Adelaide either.
