1st Test: Australia v Pakistan at Gabba, Nov 21-25 2019

[simmo1]

I think Harris is average, but I sympathise with him here. He's come up against some shit hot bowling attacks his whole test career and now the lesser attacks come round and it's Plodcroft and Burns getting first crack.

I think Harris is average

I agree, but so is Bancroft, Oozie, Burns, Wade, Handscomb et al yet they have all been rotated in and out of the team, and when one gets dropped they bring one of the other nuffies back in

its just sign of the times, cupboard is bare and clueless selectors

Paine is another average performer, although he can keep but he is only in the team because he is skipper, Carey's form has been very good with the bat but if we drop Paine for Carey then there really in no one else to skipper the team till Smith's suspension is served.

Its a pretty poor situation but hey, we are doing very well in the T20 world rankings

I’d pick Smokin’ Joe Kilroy over Joe Burns.

I’d pick Paul Hauff after 1991.

So according to the The West Australian Bancroft has been picked as the Concussion sub

 

[Twizzle]

so we got HIA now ?

cool, watch them wrought this rule in cricket now

Any excuse to get the WA potato in.

Bancheat must be JLs and Geoff Marsh's lovechild

careful what you wish for Darsh is close to a return

Tougher to rort when it's a like for like replacement and the match referee had to approve the substitution.

So you can't replace a quick with a spinner on a turning deck for eg. Nor can you bring in an extra bat.

Of course it means you've basically got 15 man sides...

 

[simmo1]

I can't see it being rorted.

NRL has a ton of incidental contact to the head which can be used to fake an HIA test and sub a tired player off.

It's pretty rare for a batsman to get sconned which is what it would require to bring in the concussion sub.

The only way I can possibly see it being rorted is head on ground or collision issues... IE replacing an injured but not concussed player by dodgying up the HIA somehow. "Yeah, Billy has torn his ACL but he's also got concussion so therefore we can replace him" kind of thing

And that's going to be so rare as to be meaningless in a game like cricket

Pak v CA XI in a 2 day match

Pak 7/386 - 90 overs

Pennywise Pope 5/100

probably declare overnight

 

[Incorrect]

Can we get a sub for Hohns? He's gotta be concussed given the stuff he's dribbled in the last couple of days

James Pattinson may not contest his charge.

Hoping Neser gets a test debut, he’s perfect for the Gabba.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Starc
Cummins
Hazelwood
Lyon

It's pretty simple. Starc has 17 wickets @ 17 in the shield.

Yep, somehow they will try and reinvent the wheel.

 

[lockyno1]

Starc would have been picked anyway, Nesser should but it won’t happen

No.

abusive language ? seriously ?

f**k me I would be suspended every week

 

[typicalfan]

Starc should be picked anyway. Lyon is more effective when he plays as well.

Soft suspension though.
