These merkins are as bald as Parra.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

It's a bit embarrassing carrying on like pork chops, celebrating like we've cured cancer at home when we beat minnows. Yet when we play quality opposition we put up this dross.

 

[Eelementary]

Pathetic from our top order.

Batting in India is difficult, sure - but the way they've gone about their business... Disgusting.

 

[hineyrulz]

Can you believe the so called goat got 1 for over 100 in this deck???

 

[Hutty1986]

It took arguably the greatest aussie side (/test side, period) ever assembled for us to win in India. This team, with realistically probably 2 world class batsmen and an at-times fairly overrated attack wasn't gonna cut it

 

[Front-Rower]

Whose idea was it to pick Handscombe and Renshaw? The whole lot of them need the boot.

Wasn’t Khawaja crowing that this was one of the best Aussie sides ever? Not even close lad.

The first change I'd be making to game plan would be to score more runs.
The second change would be to take wickets faster. Kind of like what this idiot is doing.

 

[Lebbo73]

f**k you cowards

 

[gUt]

Poor smiffy

 

[Lebbo73]

And then it’s a no ball Smith you lucky c

 

[Eelectrica]

That could have been a glorious lol @ India moment if we weren't 9 down.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Warner 1/10 usual away performance
Khawaja 1/10 got a rough one in the 1st innings but stiil poor
Labuschagne 3/10 application in 1 innings
Smith 4/10 application in both innings, a poor drop in the field
Renshaw 0/10 horrific test
Hanscombe 1/10 bad bogan
Carey 3/10 kept well
Cummins 2/10 poor opening spell set the tone
Lyon 1/10 Bald
Murphy 9/10 can't ask for a better debut
Boland 2/10 usual toil but this is a long way from the MCG

[T-Boon]

Warner 1/10 typical away performance
Khawaja 1/10 got a rough one in the 1st innings but stiil not good
Labuschagne 3/10 application in 1 innings but needed to step up in second.
Smith 5/10 application in both innings, a poor drop in the field
Renshaw 0/10 horrifying test
Hanscombe 1/10 bad bogan
Carey 3/10 kept well. First man to get out reverse sweeping in both innings of a test.
Cummins 2/10 poor opening spell set the tone
Lyon 1/10
Murphy 9/10 good figures but not overly impressed.
Boland 2/10 usual toil but this is a long way from the MCG

 

[Canard]

How can Warner's selection for any Indian series be justified from now on?

 

[JJ]

Lot of lbw and bowled there

still the case tgat sone home town champions are shithouse in most overseas conditions

Pretty f**king dumb thing to say given Australian cricket history

 

[hineyrulz]

Merkins still haven’t learnt to play the straight one, Herath dusted us up 5 years ago in Sri Lanka and they still haven’t learnt. Warner should of played his last test of the selectors had a clue Sydney should of been his farewell test.

Come on, he was a heroic man of the series…
