If Pakistan can do is for under 400 that's a small win for them. Bison needs runs cos Carey is awful

Not winning the test still but it's a little it of momentum we've let them have rather than destroying them straight up for the whole summer.

Pretty tame start to the summer.

Warner did what he always does at home against shit opposition.

Yet again the overseas bowlers bowled the wrong lengths from the start and we cashed in its like groundhog day if you dont support Australia.

Marnus is the new Watto deadset reviews every LBW decision that was a plumb as they come.

Its become a bit embarrassing tbh.

Cameron Green news about his Kidney condition was certainly a shock as well.

Foot on the gas. Let's get 500 and do the old declare before the tea break for wickets.
 

Chins get the wins

Better strike rate, better fielder and a better bloke

Strike rates don't get me very excited in test cricket. They were both attacking batsman and at their peak were very dangerous.

Warner a better arm and faster across the field, Hayden a better slipper.

Last point is highly debatable. And if we just go off the 'pub' test its Hayden by a mile. The only thing I find more redeemable about David Warner is that he is from Sydney.

David Warner


Home Average: 59.58
Away Average: 31.59

Matthew Hayden


Home Average: 57.88
Away Average: 41.69

Warner wins at home overall and has time to make it a 60 average in Australia.
31.59 is a poor average for overseas and for mine is what holds him back from being an all-time Test great.

The great ones delivered home & abroad.

In England he averaged 26 & India he averaged 21.

You can't be called an all-time great when you played 4 ashes series in England and 3 tours to India and come back with those figures and never scored a test 100.

Glenn Maxwell even managed a Test 100 in India.

The Bangladesh tour of 2017 where he scored 2 x Test 100s was the only time he scored a Test 100 on the road since 2014.

Basically should have had his passport revoked for overseas Tests after the 2019 Ashes series.
