1st Test: Australia v Pakistan at Brisbane on Dec 15-19, 2016

[East Coast Tiger]

Plenty of tailenders would have scored 0 and 1 in their first digs, or worse.

Not sure who the last proper batsman would have been to score so poorly. Some stats nerd will know or be able to look it up.

doing better than these poor bastards http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/283116.html

there's a few on that list that went on to have a good record

 

[East Coast Tiger]

So he's a better bat than Mike Whitney and Peter McIntyre on current evidence. He'll be happy with that.

maybe he'll get his own ad like Whitney

is Maddinson's performance the worst ever by a new player coming into the squad? he could have easily got a duck, again

I mean even Quiney made 9 at least,

Quiney made 9 and then 0,0

His test average of 3 is looking outstanding ATM.

 

[_snafu_]

Why didn't Maddinson raise his bat after his single?

We all cheered out for him too

I dont think maddinson should be there either mind. No point going back to voges who has been suspect number 2 behind mitch marsh for our middle order problems

Looks like Voges' Test career is over. At least he can spend his time looking at the all time batting averages where he is second behind Bradman. Pretty shabby treatment, IMHO, on par with that of Katich a few years back.

Good opportunity for Davey to get another cheap hundred too. We haven't seen him wave to Candace in a test match for a while.

He's had a pretty shit year with the bat in tests but some of those 'cheap' hundreds have helped us win test matches.

How bloody good was the crowd last night. Day/Night tests have won me over.

Maybe voges should have scored some runs against teams who aren't the west Indies or NZ

Same it was great.

The way scissorhands fumbled and parried last night I wouldn't be surprised if (and I f**king hope that) Nevill is back in the side for Boxing Day.

I wouldn't be surprised if Darsh finds his way back in for Maddinson. I wouldn't mind seeing how Burns goes down the order too.

because he's not from NZ

To be fair to Darsh he hasn't done a lot wrong in recent times, whereas Maddinson has given more chances than he's scored runs

Wade is truly awful, Nevill must be distraught at being dropped for that clown

Wade really annoys me but I reckon the selectors will give him the summer where he will suck it up and then put nevill in for the Indian tour where he is constantly struggling coming in after collapses

Meanwhile wade will play a good innings in an odi and on the back of it he is back in for the Australian ashes.

At the gabba we have England 2/10 and haze catches the edge of Joe root and wade puts down a sitter. root goes on to score 300 and we lose the match.

Mark Waugh says that yeah wade makes a mistake or two but he yells nice Gary so well so we will give him the series

FMD Renshaw sooooo reminds of Tubby Taylor....

FMD warne so reminds me of the dogshit I nearly stepped in this morning
