Haha good old beery...god he was awful

We missed a chance cause our slips were 1/2 metre too back (off starc)

Now mmarsh looks to be in about 3-4 metres from the boundary, ball just goes over his head
its easier to run in for a catch than run desperately back

We needed to be smart on those 2 occasions, we are not smart

We will be lucky to get a couple of wickets by days end, unless Pakistanis go full throttle and give catches all the time

I'm just hoping the old U12s mantra of "Shit gets wickets" comes true here. It's our only hope outside of Starc going ballistic.

Holland should have had a wicket coutesy of weapon mitch marsh

Taking over the mantle from Michael Beer.

One of the worst selections ever made. Picked in the squad for the WACA test because he “knew the local conditions” and gets left out but then makes his Test debut at the SCG.

Only got picked because he was mates with Warney.

 

[TIGER14]

Clearly our downfall is a lack of big levers.

We need The Big Show’s toybox.

[Front-Rower]

Pitch is as flat as a tack. But don't worry, when we get to weild the willow it will be raging, unplayable turner

I agree. Rotating the bowlers well and the field settings have been good.

The same thing happens to New Zealand every single time we play them apparently.

Haha yep. We'll get rick rolled for about a hundred in each dig

 

[TheParraboy]

Have we tried to sledge ?

 

[The Brain Stormer]

Have we tried to sledge ?

Nah Lol...it was getting a little out of hand at times, Warner started to annoy me with his sledging. He did take it to far...sometimes lol

 

[mozza91]

Have we tried to sledge ?

We’re nice guys now. There’s no way we’d hurt Pakistan’s feelings by sledging them or taking any of their wickets.

 

[TheParraboy]

Great ton Hafeez

turning 38yo in 10 days time

 

[Eelectrica]

How do you sledge someone who's smashing the bowling to all parts.
Say "Oh yeah, well I bet you can't hit it for 8."
