1st Test: Bangladesh v Australia at Mirpur, Aug 27-31 2017

[Mr Spock!]

Have most of these guys not played any cricket since March?

 

[OVP]

You guys know its coming.

Everyone knows its coming.

You can feel it in the air.

Get ready for the return of the Brothers Darsh !!

To be fair SMarsh is a substantial upgrade on Warner outside of Australia and RSA

Thankfully Uzi can catch with his knees. Tried hiding him in the outfield, I'm sure they were all nervous when it was going to fumble fingers.

 

[Iafeta]

f**k if he'd dropped that he could have deadset swum home.

Only if it was a flat track with no swell.

 

[Twizzle]

It seems our younger brigade dont have the same issues with spin as our established players. Renshaw, Handscomb, Agar and even Cummins seem to be able to hang around and make runs.

Our established players seem to be the ones that struggle and have done for some time, Smith being an exception but even he was gazumped by a good ball. No doubt he will do better but we always have trouble with the first test, as with India we fought back in the second test.

Australia won the first test by 333 runs?

[The Charlatan]

Well earned payrise there lads.

f**k me dead, if we drop this the media and public better hammer the merkins into submission.

Especially Warner whom was the loudest of the bunch and most likely to fail over in the subcontinental conditions.

 

[Twizzle]

they didn't get a pay rise

 

[The Charlatan]

they didn't get a pay rise

The graphic that CA put up that I saw suggested otherwise.

 

[Twizzle]

The money went to fist class, grade and grass roots for development of the game and players payments, perhaps some fringe players may be better off but the mainstay of our international team dont get pay rises from what I read.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

David Warner is the most overrated donkey ever

Abroad yes. Hear he scores well at home with the Maroubra mattress.

You're just excited about Parra making the finals! Understandable

Maybe not upfront but when they retire from international cricket and fall back into a domestic contract they will benefit. Plus from my understanding the higher revenue share is not for grass roots, it's all wages and payments. CA wanted to cease revenue sharing so they could place more money into grass roots and have players on fixed incomes.

 

[King hit]

Agar looks just like Lyon

 

[hineyrulz]

We are bowling shit, Lyon is far too negative again.

This pitch is Taylor made for him, Agar is bowling far too short.

Not sure how they are trying to get them out??? Plans are all over the shop.

 

[St Tangles]

Our spinners bowl more like slow medium pacers with there line and length.
Works in our conditions not over there.
Our batters don't have the patience to be successful in a spinning track.
