bunniesman has gone full genius.

Pattinson bowling serious heat, he hasn't got the rewards but has bowled superbly. Great knock by Clarke, had some luck though. Shame Punter couldn't get the ton but that just shows that he really isn't back to his best. Haddin batted well shame he couldn't get the ton.

Yes I'm predicting that they won't be completely shit, which is precisely why it would have been a bad idea to bat for 3 years. It's all simple logic.

Simple for me that is, but I'm on a whole other level you can't even comprehend. It's like I'm Charlie Sheen and you're one of the trolls he spoke of. I'm on another universe with my thinking.

Their top 6 can potentially put up a fight. Therefore we shouldn't have batted into day 4 (if we had the option) because if they did put up a fight, didn't bat like complete tards, they could have batted into day 5 and potentially gotten a draw (Monday forecasts possible showers).

I'm not taking the opposition too lightly, I'm not sure we have a bowling attack than can quickly get through them, and the weather is uncertain. All reasons why it would have been a bad idea to bat any longer than absolutely necessary.

We don't have Warne and Mcgrath anymore. Our bowling is our weak link now (at least until the kids get expierience), getting 20 wickets isn't the easy feat it once was. We have to give them as much time as possible to get those wickets.

5 sessions, like some were suggesting wasn't enough in a worst case scenario. Not with them batting within themselves, not with possible rain, not with the stupid "bad light" rule.

yep - he's gone full genius.

He's not wrong.

 

[African Monkey]

How does a scrub like Williamson get a night watchman? :lol:

Lol @ bunnies derp. genius

He's a good player TT

 

[HevyDevy]

Siddle bowling pies... But then bowls a jaffer! Can't wait until our bowling attack is Cummins, Pattinson, Starc with Harris, Cutting and Copeland as back ups!

Mate I'd have quite a few players ahead of Starc. He bowled okay on day one but was shocking on day two.

Pattinson definitely looks the goods but we still need Harris back.

Has anyone got the cricket live app? How the hell do I get the test score back instead of the shield?

press HOME and it takes you back to the menu for all the international games

 

[African Monkey]

Hmm I see that rain is on the forecast for Brisbane tomorrow not that I can see us peerforming well today but you never know

 

[Twizzle]

gee Starc goes OK with the bat,

and Siddle would still bat at no 11 in my club team

It's only a few showers buddy, don't get your hopes up.. :lol:

Oh damn . But hey, with the way we've been going off with bad light during the test, a few showers could mean that play hets called off for the day .

fair call, supposed to be cloudy this afternoon so I'd imagine play will get stopped early today. :crazy:

He'd probably only bowl 2nd change as well.

 

[Mr Angry]

uh-oh

3/17 Patterson twice in one over.

 

[saint_marto88]

Are we still spurting about the Aussie's shit bowling?

 

[Marshall_magic]

3 wickets in 4 balls for Patto.

 

[Mr Angry]

4/17 Patterson Three in one over, now on a hat trick.

 

[aussies1st]

Pattinson you ripper!

 

[Leagueaddict]

Kiwi's down for the count...

 

[African Monkey]

Great start to the day. Do our batsmen not know what a f**ken leave is? Seriously diabolical batting from a diabolical outfit.

And yes TT you can continue to give it to Williamson
