1st Test D/N Australia v Sri Lanka at Brisbane Jan 24-28 - AUSTRALIA WON BY AN INNINGS AND 40 RUNS

[TheParraboy]

Do we get 2 wickets if Paddy opens the bowling instead of Starc?

 

[Eelectrica]

Right now I'd take Lab over Uzi. Bring in Pucovski for Uzi in Canberra.
Bat Patterson at 3.

[Pete Cash]

Definate maybe on that one.

Until Starc starts bowling better he can't be opening the bowling when we've got a gun in Cummins.

He's dropped when Haze is back imo

Yep. It's hard to drop JR when he's pinpoinr from ball 1.

Starc can maybe make it back but he's been horrible all summer

 

[benched tiger]

I think the problem with Starc and Uzi is that they have been around the Marsh brothers to long,where mediocrity is rewarded for doing f**kall.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Had to finish some business and wine BUT HOW FUGGIN GOOD IS PATTY?!?

 

[TheParraboy]

Test should finish tomorrow, wether we win by an innings or wickets is another thing

Keep the same side for Canberra

Starc is a worry for the ashes to be honest, some hard decisions will need to be made if he cant get it right, he is supposed to be our premier bowler.

Paddy has been our premier bowler for 12 months.

Honestly i pick Pucovski instead of Uzi, based on just trying to get him that county contract, if he can go over there and kill it, he could be an absolute x factor.

Plus Uzi needs a stint in shield/BBL/Grade... he is so out of form it isn’t funny.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

That's what we need, X factors.

Bat Patterson at 3.

Pucovski is just so dam impressive, I would put him in the team and just make room for him.

Drop Oozie, or one of the openers and move Oozie up to open. I would have dropped Labs for him in this test.

We simply have to find space for him as he will be in our team for a long time, this kid is something special unlike some one like Labs who we are trying to make a batsmen out of.

 

[Twizzle]

so my usual morning wrap/rant

firstly I think people are a bit hard on Paine, I'm not his greatest fan but to get that ball first up was a bit unlucky, he did well to get an edge

and as if the media dont piss me off enough, they are now licking the arse of our middle order, "we finally have a middle order with a backbone"

f**k off, it was one innings, if Labs and Head were as good as they are being made out this morning, where the f**k were they against India ? f**k me this is one of the worst teams in the world touring Australia, anything less that a 50 is a failure for mine

1 innings does not a summer make

 

[hineyrulz]

That's what we need, X factors.

Plus reserve Ramps and Levers.

 

[mozza91]

That's what we need, X factors.

4-Maxwell
5-Stoinis
6-M Marsh

Boom muthaf**ka!

 

[benched tiger]

Given that if Australia played SL earlier in the summer there would be a chance the Marsh brothers would still be in the team,which would of only masked the problems we had against India.
The likes of JR,KP and Labs did well and looked like they were not overawed,Starc and Uzi on the other hand looked like they were carrying on the ordinary form they displayed against the Indians.
